﷽
Sincerity to Allah ﷻ alone
Allah ﷻ says in the Qur’an
فَوَیۡلࣱ لِّلۡمُصَلِّینَ▪️ٱلَّذِینَ هُمۡ عَن صَلَاتِهِمۡ سَاهُونَ▪️ٱلَّذِینَ هُمۡ یُرَاۤءُونَ
“So woe to the worshippers, who are neglectful of their prayers. Those who want to be seen (by men).”
[Al-Mā’ūn 107:4-6]

Allah ﷻ says:
یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تُبۡطِلُوا۟ صَدَقَـٰتِكُم بِٱلۡمَنِّ وَٱلۡأَذَىٰ كَٱلَّذِی یُنفِقُ مَالَهُۥ رِئَاۤءَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَا یُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡیَوۡمِ ٱلۡـَٔاخِرِۖ فَمَثَلُهُۥ كَمَثَلِ صَفۡوَانٍ عَلَیۡهِ تُرَابࣱ فَأَصَابَهُۥ وَابِلࣱ فَتَرَكَهُۥ صَلۡدࣰاۖ لَّا یَقۡدِرُونَ عَلَىٰ شَیۡءࣲ مِّمَّا كَسَبُوا۟ۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا یَهۡدِی ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِینَ
Like those who spend from their wealth to be seen by men, and they do not believe in Allah and the Last Day. Their example is like the example of a hard rock on which is a little soil, then on it falls heavy rain which flows off it and they will not be able to do anything with whatever they have earned and Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.”
[Al-Baqarah 2:264]
_ Narrated by Jundub رضي الله عنه: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “He who lets the people hear of his good deeds intentionally, to win their praise, Allah will let the people know his real intention (on the Day of Resurrection), and he who does good things in public to show off and win the praise of the people, Allah will disclose his real intention (and humiliate him).”_
[Sahih al-Bukhari 6499]

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“What I fear for you the most is the minor shirk, that is ar-riya (showing off). Allah will say on the Day of Judgement when He is rewarding the people for their actions: Go to those for whom you did riya for in the world then see if you find the reward with them.”
[Musnad Ahmad (5/428, 429) and al-Baghawi in Sharh as-Sunnah (4135)]
