SINCERITY DESCRIBED IN THE QUR’AN
Believers should strive hard with their property and their
selves to gain Allah’s consent. In another of His verses, Allah
gave the glad tidings to the true believers that those who
strive hard in His way, with their belongings and persons,
and those who grant a greater importance to Allah’s consent,
will have a higher degree with Him. The verse states as
follows:
Those believers who stay behind—other than those
forced to by necessity—are not the same as those who
strive in the Way of Allah, sacrificing their wealth and
themselves. Allah has given those who strive with their
wealth and themselves a higher rank than those who
stay behind. Allah has promised the Best to both, but
Allah has preferred those who strive over those who
stay behind by an immense reward. (Surat an-Nisa’: 95)
