profound concept of attesting to the Absolute Oneness of
Allah through active submission and obedience to Allah by

- 4. 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 2012
- 5. [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 2012
- 6. 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 2012
- 7. 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” - which would be assessed by
Allah, Who knows:
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2012
- 8. “I have only created jinns and men, that they may
serve (worship) Me.”
(Qur’an: Dzaariyat: 51: 56)
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2012
- 9. 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 2012
- 10. “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)
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2012
- 11. “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 2012
- 12. 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 2012
- 13. 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 2012
- 14. 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 2012
- 15. 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.
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2012
- 16. ”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)
16
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2011
- 17. “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)
17
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2012
- 18. 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 2012
- 19. 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 inner-
most 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 2012
- 21. “(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).” (Qur’an: Surah Baqarah: 2: 138)
21
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2012
- 23. – ( 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 2012
- 24. 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.”

- 25. PROPHET MUHAMMAD S.A.A.W. :
His reply to the question “what is AL-IHSAN ?”, he said :
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2012
- 26. 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 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 2012
- 27. 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 doing a good deed.
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 2012
- 28. 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 2012
- 29. And regarding deeds or any act of devotion, he said:

- 30. 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)

- 31. 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:

Thus, apart from ensuring the act to be correct according to the

- 33. “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: 67: 11-12)
33
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2012
- 34. 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)
34
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail 2012
- 35. 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) ”

TAUHEED – to attest that only Allah is god, the One 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).

“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

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).

(There is no god except Allah)
is also called “KALIMAH-AL-IKHLASW” (pure or sincere Word);
and “KALIMAH-AL-TOY-YIBAH” (the good Word).
