Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, among the questions that have come to the program, there are many questions concerning sincerity. What is the impact of sincerity, the questioner Abu Ibrahim asks, in acts of worship and worldly affairs?
Answer:
Deeds are not accepted except with sincerity. Sincerity to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) means that there is no shirk (associating partners with Allah) in them. There is no bid'ah (religious innovation) in them. There is no riya' (showing off) or seeking fame. So it is necessary to make them sincere to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), free from these defects, so that they are accepted by Allah. And it is also necessary, along with sincerity, that the deeds be correct according to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes?
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
