Allah, the
Almighty, says in Quran: فَمَنْ
كَانَ
يَرْجُوا
لِقَاءَ
رَبِّهِ فَلْيَعْمَلْ
عَمَلاً
صَالِحاً
وَلا يُشْرِكْ
بِعِبَادَةِ
رَبِّهِ
أَحَداً ۔ Whoever hopes to meet his Lord, let him do good deeds and
join no other deity in the worship of his Lord. (Al Kahf 18:110) It is apparent
from this verse that the person who worships his Lord but also want to display
his worship to people so that he develops a reputation of being pious, is
making a deity with the One God. (S)he has included the creatures of God in
His worship.
Prophet
Muhammad (صلی
اللہ علیہ واٰلہ
وسلم) described the condition of three persons who will be
brought in the court of Allah. God will ask, “What you have done for me?” He
will reply, “I have been killed for your sake.” Allah will say, “You are a
liar. You struggled to achieve a reputation of a brave man. You have achieved it. So take this person
to the hell.” A person who spends his money for the purpose of showing off
and one who recites the Quran for being deemed honorable in his society will
be treated in a similar manner.
The practice
of religious scholars to seek a good reputation by showing their good deeds
is the most dangerous form of ostentation. It is the worst in misleading people
because they consider it essential to show their knowledge. They try to find
opportunities to conduct a debate on issues. As a result of that, they try to
divert their audience from the real requirements of the religion. Prophet
Muhammad (صلی
اللہ علیہ واٰلہ
وسلم)
said, “I am not conscious about anything more than the minor form of
polytheism.” People asked, “What is this minor form of polytheism?” He
replied, “Showing one’s deeds to get admiration.” (Musnad Ahmed) Ali (رضی
اللہ عنہ) said, “An ostentatious person has three symptoms: When he is
alone, he will be lazy in doing good deeds; When he finds that people are
looking at him, he becomes happy; When they admire him, he does more good
deeds and when they criticize him, he stops that.” (This article is adopted from the “Mi’yar ul
Ulema” of Akbar Shah Khan Najeebabadi, Translated by Mubashir Nazir) We should not
start finding these symptoms in other people. We should only analyze our own
personality that whether we have these symptoms or not. Mubashir
