Steadfast faith, obeying commands, and avoiding prohibitions form the basis of religious life. Every good and evil deed will be accounted for; one therefore prays for sound belief, righteous action, and a good ending.
The responsibilities of scholars include clarifying the proper distinctions between Islam and disbelief, Sunnah and innovation, good and evil, truth and falsehood, and the people associated with these positions. Such work requires honesty, wisdom, and respect for legal limits.
اللَّهُمَّ أَرِنَا الْحَقَّ حَقًّا وَارْزُقْنَا اتِّبَاعَهُ
O Allah, show us truth as truth and grant us the ability to follow it.
وَأَرِنَا الْبَاطِلَ بَاطِلًا وَارْزُقْنَا اجْتِنَابَهُ
And show us falsehood as falsehood and grant us the ability to avoid it.
