The Importance of Sincerity (الإخلاص) in Worship According to the Qur’an and Sunnah ✅ مقدمة: الإخلاص (Ikhlāṣ) هو روح العبادة وأساس القبول عند الله عز وجل. بدون الإخلاص، تُصبح الأعمال جوفاء لا قيمة لها في ميزان الآخرة. قال الله تعالى: وَمَا أُمِرُوا إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ﴾ (البينة: 5) ﴿ “And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion...” (Al-Bayyina, 98:5). This verse encapsulates the centrality of sincerity in Islamic worship. It highlights that the core objective of divine instruction is the purification of intention, where all acts of devotion are directed to Allah alone, without seeking praise, status, or worldly gain.
