Chapter: Indeed, Allah Looks at Your Hearts and Deeds
«باب أن الله ينظر إلى قلوبكم وأعمالكم»
✿ Narrated by Abū Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه):
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“Indeed, Allah does not look at your appearances or your wealth, but He looks at your hearts and your deeds.”
[Ṣaḥīḥ: Muslim, Kitāb al-Birr wa'l-Ṣilah, 2564: 34]
This Hadith highlights a foundational Islamic principle: true value is not in outward appearances or material possessions, but in the purity of the heart and the righteousness of one's actions. Sincerity (ikhlāṣ), intention (niyyah), and good deeds are the basis for divine reward.
