(The meaning of the intended, which is Allah, and explaining the reality of sincerity for Allah alone, who is the sole one worthy of worship, and mentioning two reasons for the existence of sincerity) And the reality of sincerity is tawhid (the oneness of Allah)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And the reality of sincerity is tawhid (the oneness of Allah) of the intended*** so no second intended competes with it"
This sincerity is tawhid (the oneness of Allah) of the intended. Whose intended? Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is made one in intention. "No second intended competes with Him" For example, if a person prays seeking the pleasure of Allah, he is a monotheist. If he prays seeking the praise of people, he is not a monotheist; he is an associate of partners with Allah. He has made Allah (Mighty and Majestic) one in his intention and in his action. But when he said
"so no second intended competes with it" But this is a clarification of his statement "so no second intended competes with it" and an explanation of it.
"But the intended of the servant remains one*** there is no distinction in the human being" And who is the intended in the singular in worship? Who? Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
