Showing Off Your Good Deeds ᴴᴰ - #ShirkUndercover - by Sheikh Dr. Yasir Qadhi

There is a very powerful hadith that shows us the dangers of showing off. The dangers of showing off your good deeds to other people. 
And that is the hadith reported in Bukhari and Muslims, in which we learn that the very first people who will be called to task on the Day of Judgement, and the very first people who will be rewarded or punished on the day of judgement, will be the hafiz (memorizer) of the Quran, the martyr (the Shaheed), and the one who gave up his money all the time for the sake of Allah. 

These are the first three people whom Allah will call in front of him. The memorizer (the hafiz) of the Quran and the martyr who died in a legitimate expedition, and the charitable person, and as everybody is looking at them, they will think Allah is honouring them, Allah is rewarding them, Allah will give them the first share of the pie of Jannah. 

So Allah will ask this hafiz, 'why did you memorize the Quran and why did you recite at these gatherings and these masaajid? Why did you go and do this?'So the hafiz will stand up with pride and he will say, 'oh Allah, I did it to bring honour to your book, I did it for the izza of the religion -- for the glory of the religion. I did it for your sake oh Allah.' And Allah will say, 'You're lying!' and the angles will agree and say, 'You are lying!'And the books will brought forth and it will be clear that his intention, Allah will say, 'your intention was not to please me, you recited the Quran so that people would call you Qari, Hafiz, Sheikh and they did. So get your reward from them.' 

And then the second person - the martyr -- the one who waged a legitimate expedition and he gave his life for cause of Allah (Subhana Watala), he will be asked, 'why did you spend your life in the way of Allah?' And the man will say, 'because I wanted to bring help to the religion, I wanted to bring, as we call it, bringing help to Islam or glory to Islam, I wanted to defend the religion, defend the weak, the homeless and the poor. I did it for your sake, oh Allah' and Allah will once again say 'You're lying!' and the angles will testify 'you're lying!' and Allah will say, 'you only did it so that people could call you, 'MashaAllah mujahid, MashaAllah brave man, MashaAllah you have done so much' and the people did, you got your reward from them, none from me.' 

And the same with the third person, that he will say, 'I gave up my money to be a generous person for your religion.' And Allah will say, 'You're lying!' and the angles will agree and say, 'You are lying!' And Allah will say, 'you only did it, so that you could be known in the community. So that people would call you generous and that is exactly what they did.' You got your reward from them, none from me.'

And then Allah will punish these three in front of all of the creation and they will be the very first people to enter the fire of hell. Why?! Because their intentions were not correct. They had this mixing of intentions; they wanted to show off their deeds. Imagine the fate of that person and therefore brothers and sisters, we need to make sure we are not that person. We are not that person on the day of judgement, who is told, 'you've wasted your whole life!' and all of your deeds will be thrown back at your face!
