The New Form of Riyaa' | Shaykh Muhammad Khan | Khutbag

In this Friday sermon, Shaykh Muhammad Jansher Khan reflects on the deep care and compassion the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ had for his Ummah. The Shaykh highlights how the Prophet ﷺ warned his followers against subtle spiritual traps, chief among them being Riyaa (minor Shirk / showing off in worship). He addresses the modern reality of Riyaa in the age of social media, comparing it to the hypocrisy of the past, and warns against overburdening ourselves or our children in worship—emphasizing moderation, sincerity, and cultivating a true love for Allah.
