I have seen with my own eyes on numerous occasions people pretending to recite the Qur\u2019\u0101n, simply for the sake of a photo. Many do the same with <em>du<\/em><em>\u02bf<\/em><em>\u0101<\/em> and various other postures of worship. These are, without us even realising, actions of <em>riy\u0101<\/em> (ostentation) and <em>kidhb<\/em> (falsehood). These pictures are then used to gratify one&#8217;s pride upon return. Some will immediately send it to people through social media with captions like \u2018Me praying Qur&#8217;an in <em>\u1e24<\/em><em>aram Shar\u012bf<\/em>!\u2019 etc. These are not only sinful activities, they are major sins.<\/p>\n<p>The Messenger of All\u0101h \ufdfa said to the <em>\u1e62<\/em><em>a<\/em><em>\u1e25<\/em><em>\u0101bah<\/em> \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647\u0645, \u201cThe thing that I fear the most upon you is the lesser shirk.\u201d They asked: \u201cWhat is the lesser shirk O Messenger of All\u0101h?\u201d He \ufdfa replied: \u201c<em>Riy\u0101<\/em>. Allah will say to them (i.e. people with <em>riy\u0101<\/em>] on the Day of Judgement, when others would be rewarded for their actions: \u2018Go to the people to whom you were showing your actions and see if you can find any reward with them.\u2019\u201d (Ahmad)<\/p>\n<p>This is such a detrimental sin that it is named the lesser shirk, as all worship should be only to please All\u0101h the Creator, not the creation. If someone was actually worshipping in the <em>\u1e24<\/em><em>aramayn<\/em> and suddenly decided to have their photo taken, then this would constitute <em>riy\u0101<\/em>, However, if someone was not engaged in any worship and for the sake of a photo or film pretends to worship in order to show others, then such an action is an apparent lie as well as <em>riy\u0101<\/em>.
