It is narrated from Imam-e-Jafar-e-Sadiq -asws [12]...

It is narrated from Imam-e-Jafar-e-Sadiq -asws [12] Amir-ul-Momaneen -asws has said in many of his -asws speeches, O people! You better stay within Deen-e-Islam, as it is better to commit a sin in it rather than carrying out good deeds in another religion’ It is narrated from Imam Ali Raza -asws [13] Aman means, recitation from your toung, its recognition from heart and demonstration of it from those limbs of your body which are related to it.

[14] Imam Mohammed Baqir -asws said [15] : ‘Allah -azwj Says, I will punish all those who have followed an Imam who was not nominated by Me, regardless of their good deeds and extensive acts of worship but will forgive those who have followed My Just and Divine Imam, regardless of their enormous burden of sins’.

It is also obvious from a famous and ‘Mutafiq-ul-Alay’ [16] hadith of Rasool Allah -saw , My followers will be divided into 73 sects and all will be directed towards hell fire except ‘one’, meaning all belonging to only one Muslim sect will be rewarded ‘Jannah’. Since there is a broad variation in the practices of worship and indulgence in sins among people in general.

Therefore, all regularly as well as irregularly practising worshipers of the ‘one’ Muslim sects will be assured a place in the gardens of paradise. The qualities of their deeds, will, not doubt, distinguish their status in the paradise.

It is now clear from the above discussion that only deeds of the true believers (momin) which will accepted by Allah -azwj , here we present a generally agreed hadith of Rasool Allah -saw ‘The quality of Deeds depends on the intentions’, this is further emphasised [17] ‘Allah -azwj awards more on good intention as compared with a mere good practice’ The quality of the deeds or acts of worship, again, depend on the understanding of the faith (Pillars of Deen) and certainly not on the details/procedures through which these acts are performed.
