The Confusion Of Riya
@Irfan76 okay sir, i just asked because i couldn’t comprehend the principle of those who made an analogy of it with Riya. But if we look it in this point of view that, not doing something of voluntary worship, is like giving precedence to others over God, this principle is relatively more logically understandable, but that too is not right according to me. Because then the only thing a person should be busy in is worship of Allah, there’s no time for amusement. Because every amusement could have been replaced with voluntary worship instead, but since it was not replaced by it, then it means that, this amusement is given precedence over God as it is given precedence over voluntary worship of God. Or if someone simply misses any voluntary act of worship, because of any reason whatsoever, that reason would itself become the very thing that is given precedence over God. and we also know that it’s not like this in Islam, and this type of thinking is not Islamic, because prophet also used gave people suggestions for amusements like in wedding, although at that time, instead of amusements, ibaadaat could have been done voluntarily and if amusement is done then automatically the voluntary act of worship is not done, but we never see Prophet saying something like that, instead prophet is suggesting the opposite. Sir do you also think like what i mentioned above? As the first principle does not seem to be analogous with Riya. The second is relatively understandable but not right. In my opinion, sir is your opinion also like this?
