The Impact of Sincerity in Speech, Action, and Worship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you and bless you.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh! This questioner, Adel Ibrahim, says: Tell us about the impact of sincerity in speech, action, and worship, and the effect of that on the Muslim?
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon all his Companions. No deeds are accepted except with two conditions. The first condition is that they conform to the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The second condition is that they be pure for the sake of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Al-Baqarah 2:112] their Lord, and there is no fear upon them, nor will they grieve. He submitted his face; this is sincerity. And he is a doer of good, meaning one who follows the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). So sincerity is incompatible with major and minor shirk (associating partners with Allah), and it is incompatible with showing off in worship and seeking fame. Following the Messenger is incompatible with religious innovations and newly invented matters. Yes.
May Allah greet you and bless you.

بَلَىٰ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُ لِلَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ فَلَهُ أَجْرُهُ عِندَ
