It is advisable for man (and woman) to appoint and assign some time to take stock of his (or her) actions. To keep in eye on himself (or herself). To keep auditing himself (herself). Clearly one day, after death, one has to leave this world. So what is it that we are going to take with us? Today we display our actions to world by saying words like, "Alhamdulillah today I recited ten parts (of the Noble Qur'an)". Now for whom you are doing these action He is All-Seeing and All-Hearing (and hence you do not have to make a show of it all). And if People of Allah(SWT) do disclose some of their actions then the purpose is that other people take admonition from their actions.
