In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Milestones on the road to stability
Honesty and sincerity
It is a means of stability
Ibn Sharah’s desire to do good deeds is sincerity, honesty, sincerity and certainty
God Almighty said
Like those who spend their money
Seeking God’s pleasure and stability
And to establish themselves as a garden like a hill
It was hit by a barrage and it paid off twice as much
If it is not hit by a barrage, it will fall
And God sees what you do
Al-Tabari said in his interpretation
Rather, it is about God Almighty
That their souls were certain and believed in God’s promise to them
What you spent in obedience to Him without any harm or harm
So I made them steadfast in spending their money seeking God’s pleasure
It corrected their resolve and opinions
We are sure of that
And in confirmation of God’s promise to her, what he promised her
That is why some of the interpreters said what he said
Confirmation and ratification
Some of them said with certainty
By strengthening the souls of those who spend their money seeking God’s pleasure
But it was out of certainty and belief in God’s promise
Ibn al-Qayyim said on the path of the two migrations
This is an example of someone whose expenses come from sincerity and honesty
Seeking His pleasure, Glory be to Him, is sincerity
Self-assurance is honesty in effort
The spender is faced with afflictions when he spends
If he escaped from them, it would be like what he mentioned in this verse
One of them is his request for praise, praise, or one of his worldly purposes
This is the case with most spenders
The second affliction is his own weakness, inaction, and hesitation
Whether he does or not
The first affliction is removed by seeking God’s pleasure
The second lesion disappears with fixation
Establishing oneself encourages and strengthens it
And make the effort
This is her sincerity
And seeking God's pleasure is the will of His face alone
This is her sincerity
Sincerity is an essential pillar of all good deeds
Its distinction cannot be achieved without it
As the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
Actions are based on intentions
But each person has what he intended
Sincerity is singling out the truth, Glory be to Him, with the intention of obedience
And filtered from the observation of created beings
Ibn al-Qayyim said in Madarij al-Salikeen
People of devotion to God and followers
They are the people of You we truly worship
All their deeds belong to God
And their sayings belong to God
And their giving to God
And God forbid them
And their love for God
And their hatred of God
Their treatment, outwardly and inwardly, is for the sake of God alone
They do not want any reward or thanks from the people
Nor do they seek prestige among them
Nor does he seek praise or status in their hearts
Nor to escape from their censure
Rather, they regarded people as being inhabited by graves
They have neither harm nor benefit
No death, no life, no resurrection
Work is for people
And seeking prestige and status with them
Their hope is for harm and benefit from them
No one knows them at all
Rather, he who is ignorant about them and ignorant of his Lord
Whoever knows the people will take them to their homes
Whoever knows God, his deeds and words will be more sincere to Him
His giving, his withholding, his love and his hatred
No one treats creation other than God
Except for his ignorance of God and his ignorance of creation
Otherwise, if God is known and people are known
He preferred God’s treatment over their treatment
The sincere ones are those whom God confirms
Especially in places of trial and tribulation
As God confirmed Joseph, peace be upon him
He explained this by saying that he was loyal
God Almighty said
And I was interested in it
And they were in it, had he not seen the proof of his Lord
Likewise, to turn away evil and immorality from him
He is one of our loyal servants
The accursed Satan has no recourse against them
God Almighty said
He said, “My Lord, because You have led me astray, I will certainly beautify for them on earth.”
And I will seduce them all
Except Your sincere servants among them
And he said
He said, “By Your glory, I will mislead them all.”
Except Your sincere servants among them
