Sincerity in one's deeds from beginning to end.
A person may perhaps begin a deed with sincerity and a sound, truthful intention.
Yet, it is not long before this intention becomes tainted by certain desires, whims, and inclinations.
Therefore, we must strive to maintain sincerity in our deeds from their inception to their conclusion.
Such that our departure from the deed is just as our entry into it.
And we must supplicate to Allah, the Exalted, to grant us success in that.
This is among the meanings of the words of Allah, the Exalted:
“And say: My Lord! Cause me to come in with a firm incoming and to go out with a firm outgoing. And give me from Thy presence a sustaining Power.” (17:80)
“And say: My Lord! Cause me to come in with a firm incoming and to go out with a firm outgoing. And give me from Thy presence a sustaining Power.” (17:80)
