Shaykh, i have difficulty at the moment doing Rafa yadain with tranquillity because it comes it to my mind that I am showing off and doing minor shirk, this is because ever since I’ve been young I’ve always thought doing it always looked better, the only reason I do it cos I know it’s the Sunnah but these little doubts creeping in to say I’m doing it show off, is this minor shirk

Prayer
