A Question Of Intention While In Prayer
@Irfan76 okay sir i understand, thank you. So it’s actually internally a desire to get something other than pleasure of Allah, makes it Riya. But if there was no intention involved all together then it’s no problem at all. I mean this extension of qiyam was not done, desiring something else other than pleasure of Allah. But this extension was a natural and automatic result of catching a few breaths, and since it was automatic then this extension of qiyam, if it was not done desiring Allah then it was also not done desiring something else. Am i understanding correct sir? I used to think that any act of worship if happens, becomes default Shirk until Allah’s pleasure solely is desired. But you explain it that something other than pleasure of Allah MUST BE INTENDED to make it Shirk. So if an extension of ibadah (which is in itself an ibadah) occurs naturally and automatically. Although this extension was not done for pleasure of Allah, because it was automatic result of catching breaths, but since it’s not for someone else too, then it’s neither Shirk, neither reward, right sir?
