What is Faith?

English book, p. 156

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

God looks not just at actions but at their motives Umar ibn Khattab once heard the Prophet say: “Actions are judged by the doer’s intentions. Whatever a man has set his heart on, he shall have it. So he who emigrates for God and His Messenger will be led by his emigration to just that destination. And he who emigrates for worldly reasons-to enrich himself or to marry-will be led to just those objectives.” (AL-BUKHARI, MUSLIM)
