Actively Seeking Secondary Benefits For Acts Exclusively For Allah
There is no such things in Deen.
@Irfan76 sir will a secondary aim showing off like this where someone considers him pious. will it be shirkiya behavior? as this was not a primary aim but a later secondary aim measure for example someone who tells someone else about the Hajj he made back in 2015, with intention of showing off. will we categorize it in generally inappropriate? or it would be Shirkiya behavior?
It is not showing off. Showing off has a negative connotation. Applying for a job by the required qualification is not unethical or immoral or forbidden in Islam.
