Question:
Your Eminence, I fear falling into showing off in worship, so what should I do to avoid it, especially in prayer?

Answer:
You must strive to be sincere in your deeds for the sake of Allah, and not pay attention to the whispers of Satan, who calls people to showing off in worship. As for the fleeting thoughts that may occur to a person, they do not harm him if he fights them. As for the fleeting thoughts of showing off in worship, few are free from them, but by fighting them and being cautious, they do not harm him. If your heart is resolved on sincerity for Allah, and that you are praying for Him, then the fleeting thoughts that occur do not harm you and do not affect you, if you fight them and ask Allah for protection from them. Yes.
