إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى صُوَرِكُمْ وَأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ وَأَعْمَالِكُمْ

English

Allah does not look at your forms or your wealth, but He looks at your hearts and your deeds.

Scholarly note

Read alongside Bukhari 1: the jurists derive that outward conformity without inward sincerity earns no reward, though it may still discharge a legal obligation.
