Almunjid: Refrain from passing judgment, as those you consider financially inferior may surpass you in doing good deeds. WizKid could potentially have undisclosed charitable foundations that are not widely known, while you continue to extol those who perform good deeds for public recognition or admiration. In the eyes of God, a person who gives five Naira in secret holds greater value than one who publicly donates five billion Naira for show. Those who seek recognition from the masses desire rewards in the form of praise and admiration, as you have done for Davido. Meanwhile, others prioritize their own values, choosing to give as they see fit, regardless of the amount or public recognition.
