A person is learning Arabic language in order to comprehend islam in a more better way which I believe would be considered as an ibadah but if that person does show off to people that he knows arabic, due to that intention of learning Arabic, this act has now become a worship,in this case, if he does show off to people that he knows arabic language, will it be riyaa which is minor shirk?
