Taqbur or riya'

SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILADHA

(EID'UL ADHA TO ALL)

Today's main content for Eid sermon: TAQBUR or RIYA'

There were a lot of reminders that were conveyed during the sermon. Among the contents that I could remember was, there were 7 factors or situations that could make oneself become riya' or taqbur:

1. When he thinks/feels that he has a higher knowledge than other people
2. When he thinks/feels that he comes from a 'good' ancestry e.g royal family, syed/syarifah etc
3. When he thinks/feels that he has better looks than the others
4. When he thinks/feels that he is better in terms of the ibadah that he has done
5. When he thinks/feels that he is richer than the other people
6. When he holds high position in the company or community
7. When he has the physical power and strength

If we by any chance belongs to one of these kind of people, it is good to always lay low and remain humble. Just a reminder for us to ponder and reflect upon.
