Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala, send peace and blessings upon our The Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) and his companions,
Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil 'Alamin was-Salaatul was-Salamu 'alaa Asra fil Anbiyaa wal Mursaleen.
“There is no helper but Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD),
No guide but (Prophet Muhammad Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) messenger of Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD), no provision but Taqwa.
PRACTICAL MANIFESTATIONS OF IKHLAS
1. It is singling out Allah with one's intention in all acts of worship
2. It is forgetting the sight of the creation by continual observance of the Creator
3. It is to hide your good deeds just like you would hide your evil deeds
4. It is the freedom of the desire for nearness to Allah from every blemish or impurity
The Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) said: Verily for every fact there is a reality and the reality of sincerity is that man does not attain sincerity unless he dislikes praise by the people for his deeds.
An Arab came to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) and said:
O Messenger of God! Some people wage jihad on the basis of racial or national prejudices and some to exhibit their bravery, and some only for the sake of Allah. In response the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) said:
The way of only that person is the Way of Allah who fights for the victory of truth over falsehood.
It is necessary for us to understand that anything that is not done purely for God and without sincerity gives no benefit to man, rather, it is harmful for the hereafter.
The Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) said:
Many a times a man who fasts does not derive anything from his fast except hunger and thirst and many worshippers worshiping during nights will not get from their awakening except sleeplessness.
The Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) has reportedly said:
The reward of every deed depends upon and is according to the intention and it is the intended thing that everyone gets;
So one who migrates toward Allah and His Messenger has his migration toward Allah and His Prophet;
And if one migrates for any worldly benefit or for marrying a woman, his migration is for that thing which he intended.
There are many narrations on this subject and we should know that nobody is safe from the conspiracy of Shaitan except
when under the shade of purity of deed.
The Holy Quran says: He said: My Lord! Because Thou hast made life evil to me,
I will certainly make evil fair seeming to them on earth, and I will certainly cause them all to deviate, except Thy servants from
among them, the devoted ones.
At another place Shaitan is quoted: Then by Thy Might I will surely make them live an evil life, all except Thy servants from among them, the purified ones.
So it is well known that special rewards of the Lord reach only the honest. Likewise it is said about Yusuf (alayhi salaam):
Thus it was that We might turn away from him evil and indecency, surely he was one of Our sincere servants.
It is said about Musa (alayhi salaam): And mention Musa in the Book; surely he was one purified; and he was an apostle, a Prophet.
And remember my friend Sincerity to the common Muslim:
The Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) teaches us that Islam is a confession from the heart spoken by the tongue, that a true Muslim is one who applies Islamic methods in organizing his personal and social life as well as in his public life.
So, a true Muslim has truthful belief that deserves paradise and Allah's pleasure.
We should have sincere love in out hearts for our Muslim brothers and sisters. We should greet our fellow Muslims with the greeting of “salaam”.
We must feel joy at the prosperity of the Muslims and feel pain and sympathy for them when calamity befalls them.
We must sincerely advise our fellow Muslims about what is best for them in their faith and their worldly lives and teach them
what is right. We must exhort them to what is right and forbid them from what is wrong and do so with the intention that they
should benefit from it.
Sincerity is a topic that is not the only key to Islam
The Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) says: Deeds of man are mortgaged by his intention and everyone gets what he intends.
If anybody fights for the Cause of Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD) his reward is with Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD)
and if one wages a war for worldly gain his reward remains limited only to this world.
Towards the end of time there will be those who hold fast to the religion of Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD) while others fall
by the wayside. When disbelief, disobedience and evil will increase, these strangers will remain obedient to Allah and His
religion. They will be granted Paradise and Happiness with a goodly reward in this life and the Hereafter.

Sincerity is a topic that is not only important to Islam, but it is also a subject that the Kuffar and philosophers have pondered for centuries.

Ibn ul Qayyim Rahmatullahi said, “Deeds without sincerity are like a traveler who carries dirt in his water-jug. The carrying of it
burdens him and it brings no benefit.”
May Allah Ta’aala make us all from those whose deeds are done in accordance with the Sunnah, deeds that are done
sincerely for the sake of Allah? Ibn Masood radiyallaahu anhu would advise his students, “If your intention is one of these
three, do not seek knowledge: To shame the ignorant, to argue with the Fuqaha’, or to cause people to turn their faces in your
direction. Intend with your actions and words that which is with Allah, for indeed that which is with Allah shall remain and
everything else shall perish.”
In conclusion, Ibn ul Qayyim Rahmatullahi said, “Deeds without sincerity are like a traveler who carries dirt in his water-jug.
The carrying of it burdens him and it brings no benefit.”
May Allah Ta’aala make us all from those whose deeds are done in accordance with the Sunnah, deeds that are done
sincerely for the sake of Allah?
May Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD) help us to do that which He loves and which pleases Him?
May Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD) make our efforts sincere and keep us all on the straight path...........
