except the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ [is ostentation].’ In other words, ostentation is to perform worship with the intention of informing people about worship so that the ostentatious person could get money from people or be praised or considered pious or treated with respect by them. (Az-Zawājir ‘Aniqtirāf-il-Kabāir, vol. 1, pp. 86)
Torment of committing Riyā [ostentation]
The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated, ‘Without doubt, there is a valley in Hell from which Hell seeks refuge four hundred times daily. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has prepared this valley for those ostentatious people from the Ummaĥ of Muhammad who are the Ḥāfiẓ of Quran, give charity for [something or someone] other than Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, perform the Hajj of the house of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and travel in divine path.’ (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Kabīr, vol. 12, pp. 136, Ḥadīš 12803)
