The
meaning of sincerity:-
We use the word “pure
intention” for sincerity but the word to word meaning of sincerity is “to make
pure”. The word pure is used for that thing which is pure from any foist. In
human relationship sincerity is the name of that quality which allows man to do
any action for other man or for some specific aim. By performing this action
the man does not think about his personal benefit or for show off. Same like
this “the sincerity in religion” has same meaning that whatever a man does he
does it for the happiness of Allah. The man who does work with sincerity is
called sincere.
The
meaning of Piety:-
The meaning of Piety (taqwa) is fear. In the
religious law the meaning of piety is to have realization and fear in the heart
of the man that Allah is seeing all his actions and according to these actions
on the Day of Judgment I will be granted or punished. Under this realization
and fear he will come toward good deeds and piety. In this way He will secure
himself from the bad results on the Day of Judgment.
The
meaning of Sincerity and Piety:-
When we talk about sincerity and piety together then
its meaning will be that man should go toward deeds and piety for the purpose
to get the happiness of Allah and to get rid from the bad results on the Day of
Judgment. And these good are not performed to any worldly affairs and to show
off.
The
reality of Piety:-
Piety is the condition
of the heart. It is an attitude. It is an life style. When this condition is
created in the man then he does not defiance of Allah and Prophet. That is why
the beloved prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) pointed toward heart and said “Piety is here in this”
Once upon a time Hazrat Umar Farooq asked from
Hazrat Abi (RA) Bin Kab about piety. Hazrat Abi Bib Kab said! Have you ever
passed from path with full of bushes? Hazrat Umar Farooq said “Yes” when I was
grazed the camels of my father I came across many times from those types of
paths. Hazrat Kaab (RA) said then how did you pass from these paths? Hazrat
Umar(RA) said that I folded my clothes and in this way I avoid myself from the
bushes. Then I took every step with full of care. Harat kaab said “It is piety
(taqwa)”. Quran e Haqeem said that the
purpose of all the actions and worship is Taqwa because when piety is created
in the heart of the man then he feels easy to avoid every evil and to make
secure himself.
Piety
is dignity:-
In Islam the dignity of man depends on piety (Taqwa).
In Quran it is said that:-
“O
mankind, We have created you out of a male and female and made you tribes and
clans so that you may identify each other. Surely, the noblest among you in the
sight of Allah is the most godfearing of you. Verily, Allah is All-knowing,
All-aware”
At one place it is said that adopt taqwa with full
of your strength. And adopt Taqwa as you should adopt it:-
“Believers! Fear Allah in the manner
He ought to be feared, and die not save as Muslims.”
Sincerity
and piety:-
Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) said about
sincerity and piety that “Actions varies on the intentions”. Its meaning is
that the reward or the punishment does not depend on the superficiality of the
actions but it depends on the intention. Once Hazrat Muhammad said that Allah
does not look your bodies, your faces, and superficiality of your actions. He
looks in your hearts that with which intention you did this. Hazrat Muhammad
also said that the person who offer prayer, have fast, does charity for show
off he does Shirk.
Sincerity and piety is the last step
toward the morality. That is why it is important that if when we do well for
others or do good deed it should be with the intention to get the happiness of
Allah. May Allah secure us from His anger (Ameen)
