Doing Good for People, Not Allah? The Hidden Danger of Riya! | Assim Al Hakeem

Many Muslims struggle with a deeply important question: If I do a good deed because of people, does that make me a disbeliever? Is it considered Shirk, Kufr, or Riya? In this eye-opening Islamic reminder, Sheikh Assim Al Hakeem explains the dangerous reality of showing off in worship and good deeds. Many believers pray, give charity, recite the Quran, or perform acts of worship sincerely for Allah, but sometimes the desire for praise, recognition, or fear of people's opinions can creep into the heart. What exactly is Riya? When does it become a major sin? Does it invalidate good deeds? Is there a difference between doing good to impress people and doing good while feeling happy that others notice? Most importantly, how can a Muslim protect his or her intentions and maintain sincerity before Allah? This powerful discussion explores the importance of Ikhlas (sincerity), the dangers of seeking people's approval over Allah's pleasure, and practical ways to purify the heart. Every Muslim who wants their deeds accepted by Allah should understand this crucial topic. Watch until the end to learn how to safeguard your worship, renew your intentions, and avoid one of the most subtle spiritual traps that can destroy rewards. #AssimAlHakeem #Riya #Shirk #Kufr #Ikhlas #SincerityInIslam #IslamicReminder #IslamicKnowledge #MuslimMotivation #IslamQA #Deen #IslamicLectures #FearAllah #Tawheed #IslamicGuidance
