Question: What does "Sincerity of intention" mean?
Answer: It means that all the words and deeds of Allah's slave made manifest
and concealed, must be for nothing save to seek the Countenance of
Allah, the Most High. Allah the Almighty says: (And they were
commanded not, but that they should worship Allah, and worship
none but Him Alone]}. (Al-Bayyinah, 5)
He says: {And who has (in mind) no favor from anyone to be paid
back. Except to seek the Countenance of his Lord, the Most High}.
(Al-Lail, 19-20)
He says: {We feed you seeking Allah's Countenance only. We wish
for no reward, nor thanks from you}. (Al-Insan, 9)
He says: {Whosoever desires (by his deeds) the reward of the
Hereafter, We give him increase in his reward, and whosoever
desires the reward of this world (by his deeds), We give him
thereof (what is decreed for him), and he has no portion in the
Hereafter}. (Ash-Shura, 20)
