The factors that help one abandon self-admiration

Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, sincerity is essential in acts of worship and dealings. How can a person remove self-admiration when he performs an act of worship or obedience?

He should remember the greatness of Allah’s right over him and his shortcoming in fulfilling Allah’s right, and that he has not fulfilled anything, or has only fulfilled a little. When he remembers these things, the self-admiration goes away. Yes.
