"REVIVING THE QUR'AN AND THE SUNNAH.

Religion is naseehah." We said: "To whom?" The Prophet(sas) said: "To Allah and His Book, and His messenger, and to the leaders of the Muslims and their common folk.

[Muslim]

This Hadith focuses on al-Nasihah, advice or sincerity. The Prophet (sas) says that the entire religion is encompassed in the concept of nasihah and that the main pillar of the religion and its soundness lies in this concept of nasihah.

Nasihah is usually translated as advice, but this translation does not convey the true meaning of the word. The closer meaning of the term nasihah is sincerity. That means that the entire religion is encompassed by the concept of sincerity.

The Prophet (sas) stated in the hadith that nasihah should be given to five categories: to Allah, His Book, His Messenger, to the leaders of the Muslims and to the common people.

Nasihah to Allah (swt) means that we should have correct belief in Allah and reject associating anything with Him. It means that we constantly try to purify our relationship with Him and be as true to this relationship as much as possible. We also do what is required of us and sustain from what is prohibited. Nasihah to Allah also means that we must know how to implement the shariah of Allah in our lives and how to journey towards Him
