The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: I read that the conditions for the acceptance of worship are three: tawhid (the oneness of Allah), sincerity, and following the Prophet. Is it correct that they are three, or is it sincerity?
The Shaykh:
What did I repeat the question?
The questioner:
I read that the conditions for the acceptance of worship are three: tawhid (the oneness of Allah), and sincerity,
The Shaykh:
My brother, tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and sincerity are one thing, and following the Prophet is the second. You have burdened yourself with what you cannot bear. Following, sincerity, and tawhid (the oneness of Allah) are one thing. Yes, like when a person says, "One," and the writer writes "two," you point out that this is a mistake. Yes.
