Doing Ibadah To Follow Footsteps Of Prophet Muhammad
As told earlier, the intention to please anyone or anything which is rival to God, is shirk or riyakari. In the first example, to please mother is condusive to please God. The companion of the prophet, Ubi bin kaab was once praised by the prophet for his recitation of Quran when the prphet said the prayer in his Imamat. He said, if I knew, you were behind me, i would recite even more beautifully. I gave an example earlier, that to show off my saying of prayer to my kids to make them namazi is too not an intention to please someone who can be a rival to God. So keep the principle in mind to apply all such examples. In the second case, in the both the scenairos the act will be of riyakari. we are not obliged to do violate the necessary codes for voluntary acts.
@Irfan76 i understand sir but i don’t know how to do. I mean i can’t feel like trusting my conscience as a human conscience. Because many a times people stay in wrong beliefs thinking it to be right, and since they think it to be right, their conscience also gives them the same indication. At that time how does a person trust his conscience?
