hold fast unto Allah, and (AKHLASwUU) grow sincere in their faith
in Allah alone: for these shall be one with the believers - and in
time Allah will grant to all believers a mighty reward.”

37. THE BESTOWAL from on high of this divine writ issues from Allah,
the Almighty, the Wise: for, behold, it is We who have bestowed
this revelation upon thee from on high, setting forth the truth: so
worship Him, (MUKH-LI-SwII—NA – LAHU- AD-DEEN ) sincere in
thy faith in Him alone!“
(Qur’an: Zumar: 39: 1-2)
All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)
39. “Is it not to Allah alone that all sincere faith is due?
And yet, they who take for their protectors aught beside
Him [are wont to say], “We worship them for no other
reason than that they bring us nearer to Allah.” Behold,
Allah will judge between them [on Resurrection Day]
with regard to all wherein they differ [from the truth]:
for, verily, Allah does not grace with His guidance anyone
who is bent on lying [to himself and is] stubbornly
ingrate!“
(Qur’an: Zumar: 39: 3)
All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)
41. “If you are ingrate behold, Allah has no need of you;
none the less, He does not approve of ingratitude in His
servants: whereas, if you show gratitude, He approves it
in you.
And no bearer of burdens shall be made to bear
another’s burden. In time, unto your Sustainer you all
must return, and then He will make you [truly]
understand all that you were doing [in life]: for, verily, He
has full knowledge of what is in the hearts [of men].“

Allah, (MUKH-LI-SwAN – LAHUD-DEEN) sincere in my
faith in Him alone; and I am bidden to be foremost
among those who surrender themselves unto Allah
(MUSLIMEEN).
Say: “Behold, I would dread, were I to rebel against
my Sustainer, the suffering [which would befall me] on
that awesome Day [of Judgment].
Say: “Allah alone do I worship, sincere in my faith in
Him alone (MUKH-LI-SwAN - LAHU-DEE-NIY) -.”

44. And withal, they were not enjoined aught but that they
should worship Allah, sincere in their faith in Him alone,
(MUKH-LI-SwII—NA – LAHU- AD-DEEN), turning away from
all that is false (HUNAFAA’); ...“
(Qur’an: Bayyinat: 98: 5)

46. This Arabic word “ikhlasw” meaning “sincerity”, can also mean
“purity” and be related to the Message of TAUHEED - as when the
Surah (Chapter) which profoundly explains the Oneness of Allah is
also called “Surah Al-Ikhlasw” (Q:112).
All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)
47. Similarly the kalimah (statement) of TAUHEED :
(There is no god except Allah)
is also called “KALIMAH-AL-IKHLASW” (pure or sincere Word); and
“KALIMAH-AL-TOY-YIBAH” (the good Word).
All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)
48. As Muslims, upholding TAUHEED is absolutely imperative, and to do
so requires avoiding SHIRK.
And the teachings of our Prophet s.a.a.w. has removed all forms
idolatrous practices and identified every apparent belief or practices to
avoid, which are, or may lead to obvious SHIRK in worship (‘IBADAH).
Yet, there is another, a subtle or hidden form of SHIRK, which our
Prophet s.a.a.w. was so concerned about.

50. REFLECT DEEPLY IN HIS FAREWELL SERMON:
“O Mankind! Verily Satan has lost all hope that he will
ever be worshipped on this earth forever, but if you obey him
in other deeds (acts which may seem to you to be) petty (or
small), it will please him.
So be very careful of (following) him (regarding these) in
your religion.”
(Excerpt from the “Seerah” by Ibnu Hisham, “al-Iqd-ul Farid”
by Ibnu Abdi Rabbih and Bukhary’ s “Saheeh”)
All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)
52. REFLECT DEEPLY WHAT HE SAID:
“Verily, what I fear the most for my community (ummah)
is SHIRK (ascribing partners) to Allah.
I am not saying that they will worship the sun or the
moon or idols, but it is in their being insincere in doing
good deeds, not intending it for Allah’s sake but only to
please their hidden desires.”
(Hadith reported by Ibnu Majah in “Kitab Az-Zuhdu”)
All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)
53. REFLECT DEEPLY WHAT HE SAID:
“(Thus) the SHIRK within my ummah is more hidden (subtle)
than a black ant crawling on a black rock,
in the darkness of the night”
(Hadith reported by Ahmad, Tabarani & Abu Ya’la)
All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)
54. “Verily, Allah does not look at your outward form
(appearance) nor at your wealth, but He, verily will
look into (what is in) our hearts and deeds.”
(Hadith reported by Bukhary and Muslim)

that action is (to be measured) in accordance
with what is intended”

57. “Thus he who migrates for the sake of Allah and His Messenger,
then his migration is for Allah and His Messenger.
And he who migrates seeking to gain worldly benefits
or for the sake of marrying a woman,
then his migration is for that which he has intended.”
(Hadith reported by Bukhary & Muslim)

58. “Allah will never accept any good deed (‘AMAL) except
When it is done sincerely, seeking His countenance.”
(Hadith reported by Ibnu Majah)
All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)
59. From this, we must understand that we Muslims should never fall
prey to conceit nor forget the actual reason for our striving to do
good is, as an act of attesting to the Oneness of Allah; serving and
worshipping only Him.
To be sincere therefore means:
“to negate all other considerations as the essential or primary
motive, except for the sake of Allah –
seeking His nearness (QURB) to please Him (REDHA) ”
All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)
60. It is interesting that without truly striving to attest with TAUHEED –
to attest that only Allah is god, the One we were created to serve
and to worship to exclusively , then a person may take his / her
Nafs (self) or Hawa’ (desires) as ‘god’ – which may lead to the
spiritual disease of ‘ujub (self-conceit) and riya’ (ostentations).

And withhold [simple] assistance [to fellow men].”

65. “And [Allah does not love] those who spend their
possessions on others [only] to be seen and praised by men,
the while they believe neither in Allah nor in the Last Day;
and he who has Satan for a soul-mate, how evil a soul-mate
has he!.”
