Ad-Deen is sincerity

Ad-Deen is sincerity

Tamim bin Aus Ad-Dari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, "Ad-Deen is sincerity". We said: "For whom?'' He replied, "For Allah, His Book, His Messenger and for the leaders of the Muslims and their masses". [Muslim]

Commentary:  This Hadith stresses the importance and merits of general sincerity. Sincerity for Allah here means that one must have true faith in Him and He should be worshiped with full devotion and sincerity. Sincerity for the Qur'an means that one should confirm its truth with one's full heart and mind, recite it regularly, act upon the injunctions contained in it with meticulous care and strictly avoid its misinterpretation. Sincerity of the Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) means sincere confirmation of his Prophet hood, faithful obedience of his orders and adherence to his Sunnah. The goodwill of the Muslim rulers stands here for co-operating with them in their lawful orders and obedience of their such orders which are free from any trace of sin. If they deviate from the Straight Path they should be persuaded to turn to virtue. One should not revolt against them unless they commit infidelity. The goodwill of the Muslim masses means that one should work for the betterment of their life in this world and the Hereafter. They should be provided the right guidance, induced to perform good deeds and deterred from evils.

You can marry a woman for her wealth but money will perish.
You can marry a woman for her looks but looks will fade away.
You can marry a woman for her power but power will be go one day.

If you marry a pious and righteous women who fears Allah,
- she will honor you,
- she will be affectionate with you,
- she will help you to get closer to Allah.
Your love story will last forever. It will begin in this life and In sha Allah will continue in the Hereafter. 

Her love and satisfaction will be your key to Jannah (Paradise).
