Brilliant article – but it just makes me feel worse. You see, I loved the last story about the sheikh not being easily recognisable as a sheikh. I love that story because I would love to be like him. But why would I like to be like him? So that one day someone notices me and praises me to his family, frienda, co-workers etc. I don’t know whether this is a psychological sickness that I have or whether it’s just human nature. Whatever it is I’m sick of not being sincere. I feel the best way to achieve this in my case is to stay as silent as possible for the rest of my life – because the wider I open my mouth the bigger the danger grows of me committing Riya (is that the right way to express it?). Man, we’re such complex creatures.

You said you were going to talk about the 5 categories that Imam Ghazali mentioned, but you only spoke about 3. Is there another article where this is continued?
