Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also asks: How does a person strive to purify his intention?
Answer:
By keeping in mind the greatness of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). When one keeps in mind the greatness of Allah, this prompts him to fear and be mindful of Allah, and to be sincere for His sake. Also, what calls a person to sincerity is that he learns about tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and its opposite, which is shirk (associating partners with Allah). This is because he must know tawhid, know sincerity, and know that it is not possible for him to be sincere if he does not know what sincerity is. He must learn this. Yes.
