ANSWER:

If his main intention is to please Allah and to gain rewards through this worship and showing off comes afterwards this is not considered as shirk, however he’s sinful.

I know that showing off is considered minor shirk and that showing off in Islam is the purpose of a person to please other people but this one question would always come to mind what if a Muslim showed off but fears and worship Allah with good intention at the same time would this be a sin? If so would this sin fall into the same category or a lesser sin?

Do we need evidence that we advised someone in private before publicly advising against them or refuting them if they have not corrected their mistake?

I have not had sabr in the last few years in the trials I am going through. I was frustrated and upset but i want to repent now and had a change of heart in the last few days because of lectures regarding judgement day. My question is if i repent for my impatience, will i be granted the reward of sabr and expiation of sins for the years I WAS NOT patient? Or is it too late?
