Ritual Worship is Insufficient to Arrive at a Purified Heart
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Imam Zayn ad-Din Abu
al-Faraj ‘Abd ar-Rahman ibn Ahmad ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (r.a.) wrote, in Latha’if
al-Ma’arif fi ma li Mawasim al-‘Aam min al-Wazha’if,
“Some of the Salaf asw-Swalihin said,
‘The best of actions is having a sound heart, generosity of the soul and to
give sincere counsel to the community.’
By these traits, ranks are reached that are not achieved by excessive
striving in fasting and ritual prayer.”
