*Sincere and Correct *Al-Fudayl b. 'Ayyâd [187H] – Allah have mercy on him – said: *"Allah 'azza wa jalla accepts only those deeds which are both correct and sincere (pure). If the deed is done correctly but not sincerely, it will not be accepted. And if it is sincere but not correct, it will not be accepted." He was asked, "Abû 'Alî! What is the sincere and correct deed?" He replied, "The sincere deed is one that is done only for Allah 'azza wa jall. And the correct deed is one done according to the Sunnah."* Abû Nu'aym, Hilyah Al-Awliyâ` Vol.8 p95. *-- Surah Isra 17 verse 80 Say: "O my Lord! let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honor and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honor; and grant me from Thy Presence an authority to aid (me)."

Al-Tirmidhi HadithHadith 2482 Narrated by AbuHurayrah (May Allah be pleased with him) Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) used to say, " O Allah, grant me benefit in what Thou hast taught me, teach me what will benefit me, and increase my knowledge. Praise be to Allah in all circumstances. I seek refuge in Allah from the state of those who go to Hell." Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it, Tirmidhi saying this is a tradition whose isnad is gharib. Ameen *
