3. The message of Islam is established upon TAUHEED – a
profound concept of attesting to the Absolute Oneness of
Allah through active submission and obedience to Allah by
adhering to the teaching of Allah’s final Messenger
Muhammad s.a.w.
Thus the two statements contain this message:

5. How does one “Attest” to this? How to manifest this
message in one’s life?
From Hadith Jibra-il a.s. , our Prophet enumerated the
important aspects of :
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
6. [1] ISLAM – inculcating act of submission to the Will of Allah,
essentially through establishing its pillars (Arkaan) involving
aspects of deeds , such that it will build this identity in us;
[2] IIMAN – instilling faith or conviction upon aspects of Reality
(Truth) that give meaning and purpose to our Life; it
involves affirming truth with knowledge and conviction;
replacing doubts with certainty and making it as our ‘driver
& motivation’ in life – in this world leading to the Hereafter.
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
7. Yet, being convinced of the truth (Reality) and able to
manifest this conviction correctly through acts of
submission – it is still not sufficient, unless the
consciousness of the presence of Allah s.w.t. as the only
Divine Being unto Whom we direct our servitude to,
becomes the primary reason or raison d'être.
It is not merely by Faith (Belief) that man is saved, nor by
his good works (Deeds). Even with both IIMAN and
‘AMAL, it is insufficient without a third aspect.
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
8. We are only saved by Allah’s Grace and His Merciful
Acceptance of our faith, servitude and worship. This
must be the core attitude of every Muslim’s life striving
– which reside in the secret of our inner being; in our
motive and intention accompanying our every worship
and striving in life.
And a Muslim regard his whole life as “worship” or what
is in Arabic “
’IBAADAT” (servitude) - which
would be assessed by Allah, Who knows:
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
9. “I have only created jinns and men, that they may
serve (worship) Me.”
(Qur’an: Dzaariyat: 51: 56)
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
10. And validity of ‘IBAADAT in the Islamic perspective,
requires that doer adhere to:
Correct belief (with IIMAN)
Correct action (with ‘AMAL)
And the most crucial which must accompany the 2 previous
aspects, is:
Correct intention (with IHSAN)
And this (intention) is unseen to every one except Allah.
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
11. “And whether ye hide your word or manifest it, He (Allah)
certainly has (full) knowledge, of the secrets of (all) hearts.”
(Qur’an: Mulk: 67: 13)
12. “Should He (Allah) not know― He that created? And He (Allah)
is the One that understands the finest mysteries (and He) is
well-acquainted (with them).”
Qur’an: Mulk: 67: 14)
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
13. This concern must eventually lead us to a “spiritual state
of righteousness” i.e. being conscious of Allah at all
times, such that we become mindful in striving not to
transgress Allah’s law and fulfilling His every command.
This state of consciousness of Allah’s ever-Presence, Who
is all-Aware of our inner motive for doing what we do –
making us to direct our ‘amal (deeds) primarily to be
made accountable to Him, rather than seeking
recognition from others or for personal vanity (conceit).
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
14. This state is termed TAQWA – (consciousness with
reverential fear of Allah) the ultimate criteria of
Nobility:
“Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah
is (he who is) the most TAQWA (a righteous state) of you.
And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted
(with all things).”
(Qur’an: Hujurat: 49: 13)
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
15. Thus, to attain to TAQWA it must be with this IHSAN,
inculcating mindfulness of Allah’s presence and of His
Awareness over us.
Without which, we may become “ego-centric” because
we are already strongly aware of our own existence, not
so of Allah’s Presence – Whom:
“no vision can comprehend, whereas He alone comprehends all vision .”
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
16. In Islam, we must not attribute to Allah s.w.t. attributes
(SIFAAT) which are inconsistent with His Transcendence
and Exaltedness e.g. limiting Him to time and place as
others in creation.
Thus we have to follow Divine guidance by
contemplating His Signs in creation, His Attributes and
Names such that we become fully conscious His Divine
Presence, His Omniscience (ever-aware and knowing) of
us even in secrecy of our hearts.
17. ”To Allah belongs the East and the West; wherever ye turn, there is
Allah's countenance (face). Behold! Allah is All-Embracing (Infinite),
All-Knowing. “
(Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 115)
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
17
18. “O my dear son,” [continued Luqman,] “verily, if there be but the
weight of a mustard-seed, and though it be [hidden] in a rock, or in
the skies, or in the earth, Allah will bring it to light: for, behold, Allah
is unfathomable [in His wisdom], all-aware.”
(Qur’an: Luqman: 31: 16)
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013

19. Therefore after we have learnt aspects of:
ARKAA-NUL-IIMAN
ARKAA-NUL-ISLAM
We now come to the aspect which perfects it, which is:
AL-IHSAN
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
20. In fact, this aspect is that which qualitatively
determines our acts of devotion, the worth of our
worship or servitude to Allah. It lies within our innermost core of our consciousness, unknown to other
people save Allah s.w.t. and our own self.
Thus outwardly people may be seen to be doing a
righteous deed, and yet their inward motives differ.
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
22. “(Say our life takes its) colour from Allah; and who could give a
better colour (to life) than Allah? and it is He (Alone) Whom we
worship (and serve).”
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
(Qur’an: Surah Baqarah: 2: 138)
22
24. – ( IHSAN ) in Arabic means “best conduct;
performance of good deeds; righteousness; excellence
etc.”
Basically it pertains to the quality of our attesting to
the Oneness of Allah.
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
25. If ‘IIMAN’ serves to strengthen our conviction;
‘ISLAM’ guides our practices in life;
Then ‘IHSAN’ completes or perfects our “attestation
to the Oneness of Allah.”
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
26. PROPHET MUHAMMAD S.A.A.W. :
His reply to the question “what is AL-IHSAN ?”, he said :
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
27. PROPHET MUHAMMAD S.A.A.W. :
His reply to the question “what is AL-IHSAN ?”, he said :
“Al- Ihsan (righteousness or best conduct) is that you
worship (serve) Allah (TA’-BUDALLAAH) as though you
are seeing Him; while you see Him not, yet truly He
sees you”
(Hadith reported by Muslim)
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
28. It is indeed amazing that IHSAN- “righteousness of best
conduct” has been linked by the Prophet Muhammad
s.a.a.w. to our consciousness or awareness of Allah
SWT. , in our servitude (‘UBUDIYYAH) – which is not
only in certain devotional forms of worship, but must
be extended to encompass the doing of any good deed
in life.
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
29. This therefore distinguishes a good deed performed by
a believer whose motivation is in ‘obedience to Allah’
from deeds performed for other reasons (even if they
are similar and generally judged as a good deeds).
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
30. And regarding deeds or any act of devotion, he said:
“Verily, action is by intention; and verily the worth (merit) of
that action is (to be measured) in accordance
with what is intended ... ”
(Hadith reported by Bukhary & Muslim)
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
31. And regarding deeds or any act of devotion, he said:

32. And regarding deeds or any act of devotion, he said:
“ ... 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)
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
33. Standard of righteousness or of one doing good deeds in Islam
is absolute in that, it “must be done as an act of worship, i.e. of
serving Allah s.w.t.”
Thus, apart from ensuring the act to be correct according to the
teaching of His prophet, Allah requires that it must be done
with sincerity:

34. Standard of righteousness or one doing good deeds in Islam is
absolute in that, it “must be done as an act of worship, i.e. of
serving Allah s.w.t.”
Thus, apart from ensuring the act to be correct according to the
teaching of His prophet, Allah requires that it must be done
with sincerity:
“And they have been commanded no more than this: to worship
Allah, offering Him sincere devotion, being True (in faith);”
(Qur’an: Bayyinah: 98: 5)
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
34
35. “Say: "Verily, I am commanded to serve (worship) Allah
with sincere devotion; And I am commanded to be the
first of those who bow to Allah in Islam."
(Qur’an: Zumar: 39: 11-12)
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
35
36. PROPHET MUHAMMAD S.A.A.W. SAID:
“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)
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2013
36
37. 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 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) ”

38. It is interesting that without truly striving to attest with
TAUHEED – to attest that only Allah is god, the One unto
whom we were created to serve and worship 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).

“O Mankind! Verily Satan has lost all hope that he will

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.”

“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 2013
45. “HAST THOU ever considered [the kind of man] who makes
his own desires (HAWA) his deity, and whom Allah has
[thereupon] let go astray, knowing [that his mind is closed to
all guidance], and whose hearing and heart He has sealed,
and upon whose sight He has placed a veil? Who, then, could
guide him after Allah [has abandoned him]? Will you not,
then, (TADZAK-KARUN) bethink your-selves? “

57. (Say:) ”Behold, my prayer, and [all] my acts of worship, my
living and my dying are for God [Allah alone, Who is], the
Sustainer of all the worlds, in whose divinity none has a share:
for thus have I been bidden – and I shall [always] be foremost
among those who surrender themselves to Him (Muslimeen).”
(Qur’an: Surah al-An’am:6:162)

59. ”So set thou thy face steadily and truly to the faith:
(establish) Allah's handiwork according to the pattern on
which He has made mankind: no change (let there be) in
the work (wrought) by Allah: that is the standard Religion:
but most among mankind understand not.”
(Surah Rum: 30: 30)

61. “Say: ‘Work righteousness! And Allah will behold your deeds,
and (so will) His Messenger, and the believers, and in the
end you will be brought before Him Who knows all (the
unseen as well as the apparent) then will He show you the
truth of all that ye did.”

62. “Whoever expects to meet his Lord, let him work
righteousness, and in the worship of his Lord, admit
no one as partner to Him (i.e. do not commit SHIRK)."

63. IKHLASW
Thus it is that 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 2013
63
64. 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).

67. ”Seest thou not how Allah sets forth a parable?― a goodly Word
like a goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches
(reach) to the heavens― It brings forth its fruit at all times, by the
leave of its Lord. So Allah sets forth parables for men, in order
that they may receive admonition;
