A Word on Sincerity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We ask you, Honorable Shaykh, to give a word of guidance on sincerity.
Answer:
Sincerity is among the actions of the heart; sincerity is among the actions of the heart, and none knows it except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). So the believer must make all his actions sincere for Allah, for Allah (Mighty and Majestic) does not accept from actions except what is sincere for His face and correct according to the Sunnah of His Prophet. With these two conditions: sincerity to Allah, which is free from shirk (associating partners with Allah) and riya' (showing off), and following the Messenger, which is free from bid'ah (religious innovation) and newly invented matters. Yes.
