When a servant does Rīyyā’ (showing off),

Allāh Tabāraka Wa Ta’ālā says to His angels:

Look at My servant he is mocking Me.

Imagine this:
You chose Deen over Dunya. You prayed 5 times daily, read the Quran, and followed the Sunnah.
You avoided swearing, backbiting, and music. You honored your parents, kept good company, and maintained distance from the opposite gender. You were kind, stayed on the right path, resisted Shaytan, and always repented.
Then on the Day of Judgement, Allah said:
"Oh reassured soul,
Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing to Him,
And enter among My servants, And enter My Paradise."
(Quran 89:30)
