commit a good deed for the sake of Allah and the Holy Prophet , should
one commit his good deed for the sake of Allah and out of love of the
Holy Prophet or his Sunnah, or should one commit a good deed for the
sake of Allah alone?.
Praise be to Allaah.
When doing acts of worship, they should be done sincerely and purely
for the sake of Allaah alone, as Allaah says (interpretation of the
meaning):
"And they were commanded not, but that they should worshipAllaah, and
worship none but Him Alone (abstaining from ascribing partners to
Him), and perform As‑Salaah (Iqaamat‑as‑Salaah) andgive Zakaah, and
that is the right religion"
[al-Bayyinah 98:5]
"And who has (in mind) no favour from anyone to be paid back,
Except to seek the Countenance of his Lord,the Most High"
[al-Layl 92:19-20]
And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
"Allaah does not accept any deed except that which is done only for
Him and to seek His Countenance."
Narrated by al-Nasaa'i, 3140; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in
al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 52.
Think about what Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Would that they were contented with what Allaah and His Messengergave
them and had said: "Allaah is Sufficient for us. Allaah will give us
of His Bounty, and so will His Messenger (from alms). We implore
Allaah (to enrich us)"
[al-Tawbah 9:59]
Note how this verse ascribes the giving to Allaah and His Messenger,
and sufficiency to Allaah alone. The verse does not say "Allaah and
His Messenger are sufficient for us". And it describes the imploring
as being to Allaah alone, as He said, "We implore Allaah", and does
not say"we implore Allaah and His Messenger." This is like the verse
in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"So when you have finished (your occupation), devote yourself for
Allaah's worship.
And to your Lord (Alone) turn (all your) intentionsand hopes"
[al-Inshiraah 94:7-8]
See Zaad al-Ma'aad, 1/36
So worship should be devoted to Allaah alone; it is not permissible to
do any act of worship with the intention of drawing closer to any
created being.
With regard to loving the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him), that means following him and venerating him, not by
worshipping him.
Worship can only be acceptable to Allaah if it meets two conditions:
1 – It is done sincerely for Allaah alone
2 – It follows the Sunnahof Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) and is in accordance with his sharee'ah.
These two conditions are indicated by the verse in which Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
"So whoever hopes for the Meeting with his Lord, let him work
righteousness and associate none as a partner in the worship of his
Lord"
[al-Kahf 18:110]
Ibn Katheer (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:" 'Let him work
righteousness' means, that which is in accordance with the laws of
Allaah. 'And associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord'
means, worship in which he seeks the Countenance of Allaah alone, with
no partner or associate.' These are the basis of acceptable deeds: it
must be sincerely for thesake of Allaah alone, andcorrect according to
the sharee'ah of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him)."
So when you worship you must seek the Countenance of Allaah alone, and
strive to follow the Sunnah of theProphet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him). We ask Allaah to help us to do righteous deeds.
And Allaah knows best. - - ▓███▓ Translator:->
