- Sura Ma'un, God asks if there is anyone who doesn't believe in Judgement Day?
- Refers to people who don't deny Judgement Day in their heart, but deny it in a way by their actions
- 3 Signs of a person who rejects Judgement Day on a practical level: rejects orphans, doesn't encourage others to feed the poor, prays Salat but without care or not for God
- Actions spread the Deen with much more impact in comparison to only words
- The quality of performing Salat
- The concept of Riyah: performing something purely for the sake of God, not for others, or showing off
- If actions are performed properly, then it is 'sahih', however it does not guarantee that the deed would be accepted. That depends on the niyyat
- The acceptance of a good deed depends on the intentions of the doer, whether it was for themselves, for God, or for both
- Canadian arms deal with Saudi Arabia despite widespread human rights violations, including the execution of Sheikh Nimr
- Application in court for a review of the deal with Saudi Arabia
- Deal includes legal restrictions against countries involved in citizen oppression, which is what Saudi is doing

"Shaheed Mutahhari puts it beautifully when he says 'Working for oneself is egoism. Working for people is idolatry [to please them]. Working for God and people is shirk. Doing people's work to please God is Tawhid.' Acceptance by God all depends on your motivations."
