بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Being Muslims, we have been taught, advised, told and reminded that we need to have the correct intention in everything that we do. To get the best of rewards, we need to do everything for the sake of Allah.
When we seek knowledge, we seek knowledge for the sake of Allah swt.
When we teach, we teach for the sake of Allah swt.
When we go to work, we go to work for the sake of Allah swt.
When we get married, we get married for the sake of Allah swt.
When we love, we love for the sake of Allah swt.
When we live and die, we live and die for the sake of Allah swt.
However, several events and happenings around the world recently have made me thought and pondered about how the concept of “for the sake Allah swt” has been wrongly portrayed by some. It has been misrepresented and misunderstood.
