English Translation
6Do not let these things grow large in your eyes so that you regard the good you do as too much.
Explanatory translation
6Do not put anyone under obligation in order to get back more than you gave. Whatever good you do for people, do not consider it too much and throw it in their faces. Nor ever turn the services you render in the name of Islam into a means of gain. Do good solely to earn Allah’s good pleasure, expecting nothing in return. Even if you have done great good deeds and services, never think yourself great and give in to pride. Also, do not forget that you invite people, on Allah’s behalf, to live by the order of life that is the purpose of their creation.
