Complete faith

عن أبي أمامة رضي الله عنه قال:

قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم:

مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِله و أبغضَ لله و أَعطى لله و منَعَ لله فقد استكمل الإيمانَ

رواه أبو داوود

Narrated by Abu Umamah رضي الله عنه:

The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه و سلم said:

Whoever loves for the Sake of Allah, hates for His Sake, gives for His Sake and withholds for His Sake has completed Faith.

-Abu Dawud

The same can be said of all other deeds as the verse in Surat ul An’àm (verse 162) demonstrates:

قُلْ إِنَّ صَلَاتِي وَ نُسُكِي وَ مَحْيَاي وَ مَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِيْنَ

Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم): ‘Verily, my Salat (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the ‘Alamin (all that exists)’.
