Even the Smallest Act of Worship Should be done with Sincerity to Allaah

Imaam Aboo Faraj Abdur-Rahmaan ibn Abee Hasan Ibn Jawzee al-Hanbalee said:

“Even the smallest act of worship should be done with sincerity to Allaah, the Mosyt High, because people only do external acts of worship.”

[Sayd al-Khaatir Pg.251]

Haafidh al-Allaamah Zayn ad-Deen Abdur-Rahmaan bin Ahmad Ibn Rajab al-Hanbalee [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said:

Having pure Riyaa [showing off] will not be found in the heart of a Mu’min in the obligatory acts that he does. His heart is true in the obligatory acts that he does such as Hajj and other than the apparent acts he does, thus he gains the benefit from it. So having sincerity in doing your deeds is extremely precious. This, without doubt, is something that can lead a Muslim astray, as the one who does deeds can, because of it, gain the detestability and punishment of Allaah.

[Jaami’ ‘Uloom al-Hikam 1/79]
