It is the Devotion that reaches ALLAH

[Sachaa Muslim]

It is the Devotion that reaches ALLAH

 

 

 

"Their flesh and their blood reach not Allah, but devotion from you reacheth to Him." (XXII: 37)

 

Although this particular verse refers to the animal sacrifice, yet in principle it equally applies to all other rituals. It is sincerity and devotion in a service by which its acceptance would be judged by Allah. Hadhrat Mu'aaz (Radhiyallaho anho) says, "When the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) deputed me to Yemen, I requested him to give me some parting advice. He replied, 'Be sincere in all your services, as sincerity will magnify the value of an action, however insignificant it may be."

 

Hadhrat Thaubaan (Radhiyallaho anho) narrates that he heard the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) saying, "Blessed be the sincere ones, for they are the lamps of guidance. They cause the worst evils to be driven off through their sincerity." It is said in another hadith, "It it through the presence of the weak and due to their salaat and their sincerity that Allah's help comes to all the people.”
