Ikhlas (إِخْلَاصٌ) - sincerity and purity of intention

Essentialism stresses the importance of prioritizing what is truly significant to us, rather than succumbing to external influences or the longing for acceptance. Correspondingly, ikhlas promotes concentrating on our genuine intentions and motivations, rather than seeking validation or approval from others.

Additionally, ikhlas urges us to be truthful with ourselves regarding our motives and intentions, allowing us to ensure that our actions are genuinely in line with our values and objectives, and not solely motivated by external factors or self-interest.

• Identify your priorities and be honest
