Refraining From Action Of Sin With Intention Of Worldly Things
@Irfan76 sir there’s a concept I wanted to understand. I’ll be using a made up scenario just for understanding. if there’s was a command of Allah, which was not a worship ritual but a generic action which Allah commanded to do. if Allah had commanded obligatorily to eat an apple everyday. case 1 – a person eats it one day in front of people to show off his farmanbardari towards Allah that people say “oh what a pious Muslim he is, He is eating apple with intention of fulfilling Allah’s command”. this would be Riya. case 2 – a person who was not doing this action normally. he was offered a challenge by his atheist friend (who isn’t aware of this ruling of İslam). his athiest friend challenged him to finish an apple in a minute and he’ll give him 100rs. just as a generic challenge. if the person eats it then only for this money, which he is earning on his action of “eating an apple”, which is not a worship ritual. (HIS FRIEND IS NOT GIVING HIM MONEY FOR HIS OBEDIENCE TO ALLAH , OR HIS INTENTIONS TO PLEASE ALLAH OR EATING IT FOR ALLAH). So would he be doing RiyaKari type shirk??
@Irfan76 sir real example would be if ahmad said to Ali that if you give me your book to study I will get you a pizza someday as a treat ,which becomes like a promise. ones the promise is made, Allah has made it obligatory command to fulfill it. Now after Ali dropped him home. Ahmad after sometime remembered his promise. he was being lazy and was almost thinking to not give him pizza (as it’s a little costly). but then he realized that as this commitment has created a hope in Ali to receive pizza. if now I don’t give him pizza, he’s gonna be displeased with me and then he’ll be pushed away from me and maybe in future won’t help me in any matter or won’t do my works. so here Ahmad’s main motive to give him pizza was to only to avoid those bad things and secure a state between them by which Ali would keep helping Ahmad in future. would this be shirkiya riyakari?
