Religion is Sincerity

Abu Ruqayya Tamim bin 'Aws ad-Dari relates that the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Religion is Sincerity." We asked: "To whom, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "To Allah, His Book, His Messenger, and the leaders of the Muslims and to the common Muslim." [Sahih Muslim]
