Purification of the Heart
Ibn al-Qayyim - rahimahullaah- said:
"There is no doubt that the heart becomes covered with rust, just as metal dishes - silver, and their like - become rusty. So the rust of the heart is polished with dhikr (remembrance of Allaah), for dhikr polishes the heart until it becomes like a shiny mirror. However, when dhikr is abandoned, the rust returns; and when it commences then the heart again begins to be cleansed. Thus the heart becoming rusty is due to two matters: sins and ahafah ( neglecting remembrance of Allaah ). Likewise, it is cleansed and polished by two things : istighfaar (seeking Allaah's forgiveness) and dhikr."

Sayings of the Salaf on Sincerity
It is reported from Mutraf bin Abdullaah ash-Shakheer that he said: "That I spend the night sleeping and wake up remorseful is more loved to me than that I spend the night standing (in prayer) and wake up in admiration"

A poet has said:
"The garment of Riyaa* reveals what is beneath it...
so if you wrap yourself with it...
you will indeed be naked"
*Showing off/Wanting actions to be seen by others

As salaamu alaikum
Ever so often, I intend to post some words of wisdom for the purpose of reflection, contemplation and self-introspection. I invite others to do the same. May we all benefit from them, by way of implementing them in our daily lives.
"The Dunyaa is like salt-water; whenever you increase in drinking it, you will also increase in thirst!"
