It is narrated that the Prophet ﷺ was asked:
“What is Islam?”
He said, “To perform prayer and give charity.”
When asked about Faith, he ﷺ replied, “Sincerity.”
He defined Conviction as “Certainty in the truth of the Resurrection.”
This powerful exchange emphasizes sincerity (Ikhlas) as the very essence of true faith and practice.
Actions are worthless without this pure intention.
