Question:
What are the factors that help in avoiding showing off?

Answer:
The factors for that are: keeping in mind the greatness of Allah, that you are a servant among His servants, that His obedience is required of you, the desire for what is with Him, and that the reward is from Him, and that people do not benefit or harm, for everything is with Him (Glorified and Exalted is He).
So keep in mind that all good is in His hand, and that He is the Benefactor and the Harmer, that none can prevent what He has given, and none can give what He has prevented, so there is no need for showing off, there is no need for showing off to people, they do not benefit you or harm you except by the permission of Allah.
So be sincere to Allah, and keep in mind that all good is in His hand, and that He is the Benefactor and the Harmer, the Giver and the Preventer, so their showing off does not benefit you, rather their showing off harms you, so beware of their showing off, and be sincere to Allah in your deeds; for He is the Harmer and the Benefactor (Glorified and Exalted is He).
