It would be illogical to think that Allah, the Exalted, acts out of necessity. The true God cannot be in need. Additionally, whether humanity chooses to obey or disobey Him has no impact on Him whatsoever. Thus, doing something \\\"for Allah\\\" or \\\"for Allah’s sake\\\" means acting solely with the intention of seeking His pleasure, reward, and closeness to Him.\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ff20b76658b4c2329d9","tag":"Worship: Intention","count":103},{"_id":"668d9fe50b76658b4c232859","tag":"Aqeedah: Allah ﷻ‎","count":66}],"createdOn":"2024-09-09T19:52:57.702Z"}
