And there is a subtlety in expressing deeds in secrecy, as deeds are the results of hidden inner states.
So whoever has a righteous inner state, his deed will be righteous.
His inner state will appear on his face as light, brightness, and modesty.
And whoever has a corrupt inner state, his deed will follow his inner state, regardless of its outward form.
His inner state will appear on his face as blackness, darkness, and blemish.
And if what appears of him in this world is only his deed and not his inner state,
On the Day of Judgment, his inner state will be revealed, and judgment will be made accordingly.
The poet said:
Indeed, within the heart and chest, there is a secret of love on the day secrets are revealed.
Then Allah informed that on the Day of Judgment, a human cannot protect himself from Allah's punishment, neither through his own strength nor through outside help.
For when a servant falls into hardship, he either repels it with his own strength or the strength of someone who helps him.
And both are absent in his case.
And similarly, His words: "They cannot help themselves, nor are they helped by Us."
Then God swore by the heavens with their return and the earth with its cleaving.
So He swore by the heavens returning with rain and the earth splitting with plants.
