Is It Fine To Offer Salah To Make Your Parents Happy?
Thanks brother @samiuddin your responses have given me a lot of food for thought and were helpful. On top of it, I forgot to add a very important question. I am shocked that I didn’t put it there. I was in a different state of mind perhaps. Is performing the religious acts which are meant to be only for Allah like Namaz, Fast, etc to make others happy (in my case, make my father happy) considered SHIRK? I read ( perhaps in the books of Tasawwuf) that lack of Ikhlas in religious activities – doing acts for others when they are meant to be intended for Allah is also a Shirk.
