Explaining the forms of showing off
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q341: The questioner, A.A.A., says in her question: If a person recites the Qur'an and prays, and he improves his prayer or his recitation, as if a person is watching him in reality, while there is no one with him, knowing that if there were someone with him, he would not do this, is this showing off?
A341: This is one of the forms of showing off. If he imagines that a person is looking at him, this is one of the forms of showing off. He should consider that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is the One looking at him, so he should do the deed well. And in the hadith:Sahih al-Bukhari 4777 .

Ihsan is to worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you do not achieve this state of devotion, then (take it for granted that) Allah sees you.
الإحسان أن تعبد الله كأنك تراه، فإن لم تكن تراه فإنه يراك
