Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! The questioner says: I find riya' (showing off in worship) in myself a lot, so guide me to what will protect my soul from it.
Answer:
This is a whisper from Satan; you should leave it and not pay attention to it. Satan will not dominate you by saying, "You are a hypocrite, you are such-and-such, you are such-and-such." Leave it. Seek refuge in Allah from Satan and leave it. Yes.
