Religion is to act with sincerity / Religion is advice.




Assalam o Alaikum warehmatullahi wabarakatuhu.
Prophet Sallallaa’ho Alayhe wasallam said,
ﺍﻟﺪِّﻳﻦُ ﺍﻟﻨَّﺼِﻴﺤَﺔ
(Ad-Deen un-Naseeha).
“Religion is to act with sincerity / Religion is advice.”
Description:
The Arabic word Al-Nasihah is difficult to translate into English. Allama Ibn Daqeeq al Eid ﺭﺣﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ states that “In Arabic there is no similar for the word Al-Nasihah also”
Other meanings could be – giving good advice, directing towards good, acting with sincerity or honesty, or being compassionate and desiring good.
The hadith makes clear that one of the core
aspects of true faith is to give good counsel, to wish well, and to act towards everything with honesty and sincerity.
“This hadith is an explanation for the entire religion as nasihah means sincerity, and sincerity is the root of all actions. Without it (sincerity) all actions are rejected”
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “The deen (religion) is naseehah (advice, sincerity).” We said “To whom?” He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said “To Allah, His Book, His Messenger, and to the leaders of the Muslims and their common folk.” (Muslim)
