Preserving Sincerity (Ikhlas) and Avoiding Ostentation (Riya) in Worship and Daily Life

Even a slight amount of riya (showing off or dual intention) in acts of worship can render them void and tantamount to minor shirk.
Allah Ta'ala is independent of partners and rejects any deed performed with a dual intention to please both Him and people.
Publicizing acts of worship—such as posting Taraweeh recitations or personal good deeds on social media—exposes a person to corrupted intentions and destructive envy (hasad).
Taraweeh should be performed with proper Tajweed at a comfortable, moderate pace (hadar), rather than treated as a public recital that excessively burdens the community.
Staying low profile, avoiding the limelight, and keeping worship hidden is one of the greatest safeguards for a believer's spiritual state.

Incident of Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (radiallahu anhu) weeping near the Rawdah Mubarak over the Hadith: "Inna yaseera ar-riya'i shirkun" (Indeed, a little showing off is shirk).
Hadith Qudsi: Allah Ta'ala states that He leaves the deed of one who associates partners in intention to the partner.
Reference to Surah Al-Falaq regarding seeking refuge from envy (hasad).
Prophetic Dua seeking protection from a deceitful friend who conceals one's good deeds and exposes one's mistakes.

Frequently renew your intention (niyyah) before, during, and after carrying out good deeds.
Refrain from sharing personal achievements, meals, and acts of worship on social media platforms.
Perform two Rak'ats of Nafl with the intention of Tawbah (repentance for shortcomings) and Shukr (gratitude for guidance) after completing Witr during Ramadan.
Utilize intervals between Taraweeh sets for Istighfar, Durood, and quiet supplication rather than rushing.
