Riya kari | Showing Off
One of the inner sins is ‘showing off’, which is the topic of this book. ‘Showing Off’ has been compiled with the help of Iḥyā-ul-‘Ulūm, Ḥadīqaĥ Nadiyyaĥ, Az-Zawājir, Fatāwā Razawiyyaĥ, Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, Faizān-e-Sunnat and other books. In this book, an attempt has been made to present the reader with the information about showing off in an easy manner with appropriate sections and references so that even less qualified readers can benefit from it. However, as knowledge is a very difficult thing, it is not possible to remove all intellectual difficulties, therefore, one should consult Islamic scholars دَامَـتۡ فُـیُـوۡضُـهُم in case of not understanding anything.
In order to, save yourself from showing off, it is highly effective to listen to ‘Hide Good Deeds’, ‘Sincerity’, ‘Key of Acceptance’, which are recorded speeches by Shaykh-e-Ṭarīqat, Amīr-e-Aĥl-e-Sunnat, ‘Allāmaĥ Maulānā Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadiri دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه and ‘How do We become Sincere?’ by Amir-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat’s son Maulānā Abū Usayd Aḥmad ‘Ubayd Razā Al-‘Aṭṭārī Al-Madanī مُـدَّ ظِـلُّـهُ الۡـعَـالِی, and ‘Showing off and it’s Cure’ which is a VCD speech by Nigrān-e-Shūrā (Dawat-e-Islami) Ḥājī Muhammad ‘Imrān ‘Aṭṭārī مُـدَّ ظِـلُّـهُ الۡـعَـالِی.
Do not just read this very important book yourself but encourage other Muslims to read it as well and in return you will earn the reward for spreading the invitation towards righteousness. We pray to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ that He عَزَّوَجَلَّ make us regularly practice the Madanī In’āmāt and travel in Madanī Qāfilaĥs in order to ‘strive to reform ourselves and the people of the whole world’.
