قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-{ إِنَّ أَخْوَفَ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ اَلشِّرْكُ اَلْأَصْغَرُ: اَلرِّيَاءُ } (أَخْرَجَهُ أَحْمَدُ بِسَنَدٍ حَسَنٍ.) وزاد:" يقول الله ‏- عز وجل‏ - لهم يوم القيامة ‏(إذا جزى الناس بأعمالهم‏) : اذهبوا إلى الذين كنتم تراءون في الدنيا فانظروا هل تجدون عندهم جزاء".‏

Al Riyaa (Showing off in worship)

If the worshipper does a deed with the goal of having people see it, and he remains with this evil intention, then his deed is disgraced, and he commits minor shirk, and he runs the risk of it leading into major shirk.

If the worshipper does a deed intending the Face of Allaah and with that he is also intending it for the sight of the people, if he does not remove the riyaa from his deed then the texts are clear that this deed is false.

When the worshipper does a deed for the Face of Allaah alone, but riyaa surfaces for an instant during his deed, if he wards it off and purifies his sincerity for Allaah, then there is no harm in that deed.

But if he settles for that, becoming tranquil with it, then the value of the deed diminishes resulting in the weakness of his faith.

Is It Showing Off?

al-Marūḏī asked (Imām) Aḥmad: “A man enters the masjid and sees a group of people then ameliorates his prayer, is this considered al-riyāʾ (ie: showing off)?” وَقَالَ الْمَرُّوذِيُّ لِأَحْمَدَ: الرَّجُلُ يَدْخُلُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَيَرَى قَوْمًا فَيُحْسِنُ صَلَاتَهُ؟ يَعْنِي الرِّيَاءَ، He replied: “No, that is the blessing of a Muslim upon (another) Muslim (ie: since he improved his prayer due to them, and not for them).” قَالَ: لَا، تِلْكَ بَرَكَةُ الْمُسْلِمِ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ Ibn Mufliḥ, al-Furūʿ wa Taṣḥīḥ al-Furūʿ 2/298 ابن مفلح، الفروع وتصحيح الفروع ٢/٢٩٨ https://shamela.ws/book/12052/764 Telegram: https://t.me/aljadwal Tumblr: https://al-jadwal.tumblr.com

Piety comes from inwardly witnessing the ugliness of your sins, not from witnessing yourself in the beauty of your actions.

There’s daʿwah. And then there’s Daʿwah, Inc™ One calls to Islam; the other to itself. One feeds souls; the other feeds off them.
