Description:
The Importance of Sincerity in the Service of Faith
In this video, Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri emphasizes the importance of unity and community, illustrated through the example of an elder who gathered sticks to demonstrate the significance of solidarity. He argues that unity is essential for the survival of humanity and that the goal of effort should not solely be worldly benefits, but rather to seek Allah’s pleasure.
Dr Qadri stresses that those who work hard must set aside personal desires, prestige, and positions in order to draw closer to Allah. He highlights that the acceptance of deeds is dependent on intention, and the struggle for credit among individuals is essentially a form of "kufr," as it leads people to quarrel over acknowledgment rather than fostering genuine faith.
These conflicts arise not from a lack of work, but from disputes over honor, recognition, and status. While people generally work with sincere intentions for Allah and His Messenger, the competition for positions breeds jealousy and discord. The example of an elder who devoted 70 years to worship is presented; when informed by Allah that his worship would not be accepted, he was not disheartened but rather pleased, as his goal was to attain Allah's pleasure regardless of worldly gains or losses.
Lastly, the video discusses the concept of Satan as humanity's greatest enemy, actively opposing Allah's mission. As Allah’s work flourishes, Satan experiences distress. The speaker points out that Satan has been active against Islam in various countries, such as Denmark and Norway, but has been weakened through Allah's assistance. He concludes by emphasizing that everyone must stand united and remain steadfast in the path of Allah, as the efforts of those who seek His pleasure will ultimately lead to success.
