This is the first principle; doing actions sincerely for Allah the Blessed and Exalted, and warning and distancing oneself from Shirk. This is the principle which the Shaykh of Islam began with, may Allah have mercy upon him. This is the core of the foundation, the greatest of them, and the most beneficial of them without exception; making the actions sincerely for Allah, and warning against Shirk. Making all actions sincere for Allah means: the worship of the person, and their obedience, to include prayer, Zakat, sacrificing, hope, fear, vowing, reliance, seeking help and other than that, must be sincerely for Allah the Blessed and Exalted. The (action which is) sincere ( Al-Khaalis) is that which is pure and untainted; not containing impurity. It does not contain the impurity of Shirk, or the impurity of showing off or trying to be heard of, rather the person only seeks by his actions the Face of Allah the Blessed and Exalted. When he supplicates, he makes his Dua'a sincerely for Allah. When he relies, purifies his reliance only relying upon Allah, when he fears he purifies his fear, only fearing Allah. He performs all of his worship for Allah the Blessed and Exalted. He does not ask from other than Allah, he only seeks aid from Allah, he only puts his trust in Allah, and he entrust all of his affairs to Allah the Blessed and Exalted.The (action which is) sincere is that which is pure and untainted. And Allah the Blessed and Exalted only accepts actions if they are done sincerely for His Face, in accordance with the Sunnah of His prophet, peace be upon him. The Exalted said: And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion. (Soorah Al-Bayyinah 98:5)Surely, the religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is for Allah only. (Soorah Az-Zumar 39:3)And He said: Verily, Allah forgives not that partners should be set up with him in worship, but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He pleases (Soorah An Nisa 4:48)And the prophet peace be upon him said: Allah the Blessed and Exalted said: I am so self-sufficient that I am in no need of having an associate. Thus he who does an action for someone else's sake as well as Mine, I will have that action renounced by Me to him whom he associated with Me. Here is an issue which needs attention and it is: Regardless of our level of knowledge and regardless of our level of obedience and worship it is upon us-O slaves of Allah-to enjoin one other with the Tawheed of Allah the Blessed and Exalted often; and to always warn ourselves from falling into Shirk, its major forms and its minor forms. From the proofs of that is the statement of Allah the Blessed and Exalted about the Imam of the monotheist, Ibrahim Al Khaleel, peace be upon him. He said in his Dua'a: And keep me and my sons away from worshipping idols. (Soorah Ibrahim 14:35)And he is a prophet, and his sons Ismael and Ishaq are prophets, and yet he makes this great Dua'
