Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those who
are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but)
compassionate amongst each other. Thou wilt see them
bow and prostrate themselves (in prayer) seeking Grace
from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure.... “
(Qur’an: Fath: 48: 29)


“ ... On their faces are their marks, (being) the traces of their
prostration. This is their similitude in the Torah; and their
similitude in the Gospel is: like a seed which sends forth its
blade, then makes it strong; it then becomes thick and it stands
on its own stem, (filling) the sowers with wonder and delight.
As a result, it fills the Unbelievers with rage at him. Allah has
promised those among them who believe and do righteous
deeds Forgiveness and a great Reward.”
(Qur’an: Fath: 48: 29)


“For We have never sent any Messenger except that he
should be heeded (obeyed) by Allah’s leave”.

(Qur’an : An-Nisa : 4 : 64)


“ Say (O Muhammad): "If ye do love Allah, follow me: Allah will
love you and forgive you your sins; for Allah is Oft-Forgiving,
Most Merciful.“ ”.

(Qur’an : Aali ‘Imran : 3 : 31)


“……and neither does he (Muhammad) speak out of his own desire
: that (which he conveys to you) is but (a divine) inspiration with
which he is being inspired - something that a very mighty one has
imparted to him…”

(Qur’an : An-Najm : 53 : 3-4)


Islam is built upon five
“Tell me about Islam” things:
Bear witness that there
is none deserving of
worship except Allah,
and that Muhammad is
His servant and
Messenger.


And to establish
Swolah (the obligatory
five daily worship or
specific devotion).


And to pay the Zakah
(obligatory tax upon
the wealth).


And to make
pilgrimage (Hajj) to the
House (Ka’ba in
Makkah) if you are
able.


And to observe fasting
daily in the month of
Ramadhan.


.....“Tell me about (Belief) iiman is that
iiman (Faith/Belief)” you:
Solemnly believe in Allah;
His angels;
His Books,
His Messengers;
In the Afterlife;
In the Decree, the good &
bad, all comes from (the
eternal knowledge of)
Allah;

• ........ “ Tell me “Al-Ihsan” (excellence)
about ‘Al-Ihsan’- is:
(the Best or ... That you serve (worship)
Righteous conduct or Allah as though you see
Excellence)”
Him, but if you do not see
Him, He (Allah) sees you.”


IIMAN ‘AMAL • IHSAN
[Islam]
Belief Submission Best or
Faith Obedience Righteous
Conviction Practice Conduct

Faith without obedience is meaningless; and obedience without Faith is
mere rituals and may even lead to hypocrisy.
Together, Faith and Obedience must lead to Righteousness with IHSAN
which essentially focus in our intention to sincerely serve Allah s.w.t.
Thus, in these three aspects can one be said to be true in his submission
to the Will of Allah (as Muslim).

COMPASSIONATE,
MOST MERCIFUL

THE FIRST ASPECT REQUIRED IN THE ATTESTATION TO
THE ABSOLUTE ONENESS OF ALLAH (TAUHEED)


IIMAN is “Belief or Faith” to something beyond sense
perception, termed as “ - al-ghayb” meaning “the
unseen”.

It is derived from the root word “ ” which also means
“safety, peace, security, protection”

It denote: “certainty of the ultimate truth”, adherence to it
instils sense of “security in him” from doubts, uncertainty,
restlessness etc.


Yet from Islamic perspective “iiman” cannot be by mere blind
acceptance devoid of proof or substantiation i.e. Believe or
faith must be with knowledge.


Yet from Islamic perspective “iiman” cannot be by mere

Must be with knowledge.

"And do not follow (pursue) anything of which thou
hast no knowledge: verily (thy) hearing and sight
and heart - all of them - will be called to account
for it (on Judgement Day).“
(Q: Bani Israil : 17 :36)


Yet from Islamic perspective “iiman” cannot be by mere
blind acceptance devoid of proof or substantiation i.e.
Must be with knowledge.

Three sources for knowledge:

[1] Five sensory perceptions - ;

[2] Reasoning - ;

[3] True report - ;


(The Detailed Belief) “Al-iiman is that you:

 Solemnly believe in Allah;
 His angels;
 His Books,
 His Messengers;
 In the Afterlife;
 In the Decree, the good & bad, all comes
from (the eternal knowledge of) Allah
Most Exalted.”

MOST COMPASSIONATE,
MOST MERCIFUL

THE FIRST ASPECT REQUIRED IN THE ATTESTATION TO
THE ABSOLUTE ONENESS OF ALLAH (TAUHEED)


"In (with) the Name of Allah, the Most
Compassionate, the Most Merciful."
(Qur'an: Al-Fatiha: 1: 1)


"QUL – HU-WALLAA - HU- AHAD,
ALLAA-HUS – SwO - MAD,
LAM-YA-LID – WA –LAM – YUU - LAD,
WA-LAM – YAKUN – LA - HUU
KU-FU-AN - AHAD"


"No vision can encompass Him,
whereas He encompasses all vision: for He alone is
unfathomable (latif) *, all-aware.“
(Qur’an: An'am: 6: 103)


"There is nothing like unto Him*, and yet He alone is all-
hearing, all-seeing.“
(Qur’an: As-Shura 42 : 11)


Holy Prophet Muhammad s.a.a.w. have said:


Holy Prophet Muhammad s.a.a.w. have said:

"(To know Allah) Think and reflect upon
Allah's creation and do not try to think
of His Essence (Dzat), for you will certainly
not be able to comprehend it.“

(Hadith)


“And yet, some people choose to worship certain earthly
things or beings as deities that [are supposed to] resurrect
the dead; and they fail to realize that, had there been in
heaven or on earth any other deity besides Allah, both
[those realms] would surely have fallen to ruin! But
limitless in His Glory is Allah, enthroned in His awesome
almightiness [far] above anything that man can devise by
way of definition!”
(Qur’an: Anbiya’: 21: 21-22)


The term “ “ pronounce ‘SHIRK’ –

means “partner; associate; one who shares; etc.”

Therefore in Islam we refer this to the sin of :

“associating or ascribing to Allah, with others as partners .”
NOTE:

The sin of "SHIRK “ is in the ‘ belief ’, not merely
the ‘outward action.’


It is only “ SHIRK” when a person:

[1] who in his belief, regards other being or entity in creation,
or imaginary ‘beings’ conjured in his mind, etc. to be also
‘Divine’; or

[2] belief that they (these creations) have a share in ‘Divinity ’
with Allah in His exclusive aspects; in His exclusive
attributes; or His ‘union or in-dwelling’ or ‘incarnation’ in
them; etc. or

[3] to regard these as being independent of Allah.

NOTE:

It is indeed true when a learned scholar said:

“ “ SHIRK is an intellectual sin.”

Just like TAUHEED, it deals primarily with ‘thoughts or
cognition’; i.e. what a person ‘knows and believes’
regarding God or the ‘Divine’ - (the doctrine or theological
concept that person holds in his mind).

NOTE:

A person’s belief may generally be presumed to be
adhering to the creed (religion) which he professes to
follow.

Thus, unlike non-Muslims, all Muslims are to be regarded as
a “Muwaheed”, (upholding TAUHEED) unless proven to be
otherwise. This is because he begins by denying any other
to be god before acknowledging Allah, Who Alone is God –
One and Unique without partner.

NOTE:

One of the primary cause leading to SHIRK is ignorance of
the true knowledge of this DEEN of Islam in matters of
AQEEDAH. Allah s.w.t. warns us:

NOTE:

Thus, Muslims must avoid blindly imitating others in
matters of belief (AQEEDAH) and devotional practices
related to belief, without basis in Islamic knowledge.
These kinds of belief, which are untruths to be avoided
are termed:

- “khurafat” : superstitions; myths; fables; etc.

-“Takhayyulat” (pl. From “takhayyul”) :
imaginations; whims, delusions; fantasies; etc

“O Allah! I seek refuge with You from committing SHIRK i.e.
associating others with You, knowingly, and I seek Your forgiveness
from the committing of the sins which I do not know.”
(Hadith reported by Ahmad, Tabarani & Abu Ya’la)
