Question:
Ibrahim Mustafa says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on abandoning work out of fear of pride in it and showing off, while being certain that one’s self loves pride in it?
Answer:
This is from the whispers of Satan. A Muslim does not abandon work out of fear of showing off; rather, he works and is sincere to Allah the Exalted. He does not abandon work out of fear of showing off. This is from Satan. He seeks help from Allah the Exalted, and he performs worship and obedience purely for the face of Allah. He seeks refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan, and showing off will be removed from him, if Allah wills. Yes.
