Good deeds last forever so increase your good deeds. Day after day, and with the running of hours and the rusting of heart, you may fail to understand how your deeds will be rewarded exactly and what they will look like. Be assured that every ounce you perform now, whether in secret or in public, are deeds Allah will reward generously for. Not even one atom worth will be deducted as Allah is most-thankful to those who do good. Allah says, “Indeed, Allah does not do injustice, [even] as much as an atom’s weight; while if there is a good deed, He multiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward” [3:40]. Therefore, every deed you’ve done in the past, which is a distant memory now, but Allah never forgets, “And whatever good you do – Allah knows it” [2:197]. Remember always that nothing will be lost with Allah. He sees your hardship and your struggles so seek the reward and speed up to perform good deeds! Surmount all your inner and social struggles, and march forth. Allah says, “Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - indeed, We will not allow to be lost the reward of any who did well in deeds.” [18:30]

Although a lack of humility often takes many forms, it has always manifested within me a degree of arrogance and self-importance which proscribed a sober perspective of self worth and actually masked qualities such as kindness, understanding and loyalty which I was wanting to depict.
Do not mistake humility (described by Aristotle as a meta-virtue) with timidity, self-abasement or self-denigration. It is a degree of self confidence that discounts the need to preach your own resume, allowing
