Answered by shaykh yusuf weltch question how can i stop my feeling of ostentation when i am praying Answer in the name of allah, the most merciful and compassionate before answering your question, it is beneficial to understand what ostentation (riya) is “only the sincere one (mukhlis) knows hypocrisy (riya’).” this means that it is impossible to know the reality of hypocrisy and see its hidden shades except for one who resolutely seeks sincerity Question how is stopping an action in front of others considered showing off (riya) Shaykh irshaad sedick discusses how abandoning a good deed due to fear of people’s opinions can itself be a form of showing off (riya) This includes showing off (riya’), which is the opposite of sincerity (ikhlas)
It means performing acts of worship for the sake of being seen by others This is a major sin, and the prophet (allah bless him and give him peace) said “what i fear most for you is a minor shirk.” Ostentation (riya) showing off in good works is an enormity, and i am certain that you are not guilty of it because you fear it so much One practical way that i learned to avoid riya is that you pray the same way when people are around and when people are not around When something is fixed, then you don’t need to worry so much about showing.
