Islamic Studies The Five Pillars of Islam – First Pillar: Shahadah (Kalimah Tayyibah)
Which condition of Shahadah is violated when someone prays longer only to impress others (Riya)?
Explanation
Riya (showing off) violates the condition of Sincerity (Ikhlas). Sincerity means worship is done purely for Allah's sake, free from seeking praise from people or hidden shirk. Riya is Minor Shirk that undermines sincerity.

Hint
Ikhlas = purity of intention — Riya directly opposes this.
