Some Guidelines for Unifying The Ummah (part 4 of 6)
Purity
Another essential guideline is to purify the intentions such that actions are done only for Allaah’s sake, and not for the sake of elevating one’s ego, gaining leadership, or venting personal grudges, jealousy or enmity.
Shaikk Abdullaah al-Ghunaymaan said: “It is obligatory upon all those who speak about any affair of the Religion that they do so purely for Allaah’s sake and sincerity for the truth. They should overcome their souls and strive hard against following their own whims and desires. They should be aware of inclining towards wordly matters; such as love of being praised, seeking fame and status, seeking to gain a following, and other such matters. So the one who seeks to gain any of this will only gain the vanities of this world.”
