Ibn Al-Qayyim said that he heard Ibn Taymiyya say that iyyaka na’budu wards of ostentation, and iyyaka nasta’een wards off arrogance. When we say, “You we ask for help” we acknowledge that we do not have the power to do it ourselves and that we need to ask Allah’s help for all acts. We often hear of one who is “too proud to ask”; he feels that he is better or that he can do it on his own. Conversely we admit our inability and thus we ask Allah – the Self-Sufficient.

Ibn Taymiyyah said this, subhanallah. The heart is connected to the tongue, it just shows that there is something seriously wrong with our hearts.
