What about these thoughts ? help me get rid of my dilemma please.

If someone is praying in the masjid, the Salaf used to say, 'when shaytaan attacks you in prayer, lenghten your prayer.'

Basically we shouldn't shorten our ibadah in fear of riya. We shouldn't care what others think. But it is nice to hide good deeds.

Also doubt in our ikhlas is normal. It is said, 'the person who thinks he is sincere, lacks ikhlas.' If one were to be confident of ones sincerity then one has definitely failed. We should be constantly checking our niyyah, it is something that has to be renewed timely.
