    If humans are having the knowledge of good and bad, if someone chooses to do good, why would Almighty punish him if he does that good to get popular in people or like that

    I mean if we’re in this test and we’ve to do good in terms to get qualified for Jannah, then why’s there another condition that we should do that good only for Allah ?

    One will get the reward for that good thing. Any punish he gets will be just for that particular act of making the show off (If indeed it falls under it). Show off is purely based on intention and one can not peak into inner intentions.

    Doing good deeds while telling others do not necessarily be show off or Raya.

    We know in Surah Baqarah Allah did commend both payers of zakat: those that paid secretly and those that paid with announcement. That’s not necessarily a show off. When a person shows off they know it well themselves its bad and against the sharf of human being.

    consider a person is doing something like donating blood etc for show off only.

    But even then, it should be considered a good deed right.

    Like if some does a sin, let’s consider he murders someone for that matter but then Allah won’t ask him for his intentions if he did it for himself or for Allah etc but when someone’s doing any good deed Allah is saying there’s a condition that it should be done only for Allah.

    If we just have to choose from good and bad in this world, why’s there another condition that the good shouldn’t be with riya. Like good is good then why does intention matters.
