Doing things insincerely––or for the sake of showing off for others––is one of the most dangerous diseases of the heart.

In this episode, we will cover:

• The necessity of sincerity

• The first people to be judged in the Hereafter

• Ways to deal with ostentation (riyāʾ)

Prophetic Dua for protection from ostentation:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُشْرِكَ بِكَ وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا لا أَعْلَمُ

Transliteration: Allāhumma innī ʿaudhu bika an ushrika bika wa anā aʿlam, wa astaghfiruka limā lā aʿlam.

Translation: O Allah, I seek refuge in You from associating partners with you knowingly, and I seek Your forgiveness for what I do not know of.
