The Feeling of Showing Off in Every Deed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Whenever I do a deed, I feel that I am showing off in it. What is your advice?
Answer:
Do not worry about this. This is from Shaytan. He wants you to leave the deed. You say, "I am afraid of showing off," and you leave the deed. This is not permissible. However, if you are afraid of showing off and guard against it and take precautions against it, that is good. Only a believer is afraid of showing off, and only a hypocrite feels safe from it. Every believer is afraid, but his fear does not lead him to leave the deed, as happens with some of those who suffer from obsessive doubts. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
