Issue About Intentions For Worship Acts In The Context Of Rayakari (showing Off)
Casual acts of ours like wearing good cloth to please ourselves need not to be counted for reward from God. Example can be numerous. If a religious teacher get paid for his services, gets reward from God too. This is not like getting advantage for a thing supposed to be done solely for Allah. He is paid for his time. This intention of his is not shirk as worldly advantage and pleasure of God in such cases are not rival to each other. Only that pleasure is a rival to that of God which is not desirable like pleasing someone to consider you pious for saying prayer. Eventually it our conscience which decides in such matters.
