In Islam consistency is what really builds you. Even if you are not at your best every day, doing a little worship or a little good still moves you forward. Keep showing up in your own quiet way. Allah sees it all and your effort will never be lost.
sadaqah jariyah is such a life hack. the akhira should be consuming our thoughts more than the matters of this life. this life is absolutely nothing compared to what’s waiting for us
If you can remain unknown, then do so. What does it matter if no one praises you? What does it matter if people look down on you, as long as you are praised and honored by Allah?
Seek Ikhlās instead.
Ikhlās means doing your deeds only for Allah.
One of the Salaf said:
“Increase your recitation of the Qur'an and do not leave it, for what you are looking for will be made easy for you according to how much you recite.”

Part of hayā is being particularly selective about the conversations you entertain. Not every voice deserves your ear, not every talk deserves your tongue.
Be a Muslim with honor: speak good, or remain silent.
