Sincerity Of Heart In Doing God's Commands

For the Muslims"

Remember how our parents used to teach us the rules of our childhood? Rules such as not playing in the street or not playing with matches. Remember that sometimes the rules seem like burdens, as if our parents had to create them to keep us from the things we really want to do things we think will make us happy? As we grow up, we learn how important this rule is, how we can be badly hurt or even killed if we do not obey it.

Like our parents as we start growing up, God gives us commandments to help us stay focused on what matters and how to stay safe. All of His guidance aims to keep us safe, help us stay close to Him and, ultimately, to give us more freedom and happiness.

His greatest hope is for our eternal happiness, so we can be sure that his commandments are not strict rules, but are divine guidance which aims to protect us from harm and lead us to a better way of life. Doing God's command correctly.
