Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa BarakatuhuAll Praise be to Allah who is the Lord of the Worlds, and may Endless Blessings be showered upon His Most Beloved, and Final Messenger of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa SallamJazak'allah for your question. Sincerity, is something you do, and you stick to. For example, if you pray salaah every day, for the pleasure of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, then we say you have ' ikhlas' for the pleasure of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. There are many examples of this. If you work, and you enjoy working, you have ' ikhlas' in your work. The feeling is of enjoyment, but the action is Islamic, and for the sake of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, that is what sincerity is. I hope this is more clearer and understanding. I also recommend you read or acquire the book 'al Risala tal Qushayriyyah' which is very useful and has a detailed explanation under the heading of 'sincerity' or Ikhlas. May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala give us the tawfiq to be more sincere in all of our intentions & actions.Wallahu A'lamu BiththawaabM. Waseem Ashrafi
