Quotes, Status: Only correct and sincere deeds will be accepted by Lord Almighty

 Sin­cere and Cor­rect

Al-Fudayl b. ‘Ayyâd [187H] – Allah have mercy on him – said:

“Allah ‘azza wa jalla ac­cepts only those deeds which are both cor­rect and sin­cere (pure). If the deed is done cor­rectly but not sin­cerely, it will not be ac­cepted. And if it is sin­cere but not cor­rect, it will not be ac­cepted.” He was asked, “Abû ‘Alî! What is the sin­cere and cor­rect deed?” He replied, “The sin­cere deed is one that is done only for Allah ‘azza wa jall. And the cor­rect deed is one done ac­cord­ing to the Sun­nah.”
