2. Why did Allah create us?
• Allah created the humans and the Jinns to worship Him
alone.
• Proof:
• اَّلِإ َسْنِإْلاَو َّن ِجْلا ُتْقَلَخ اَمَو
ِونُدُبْعَيِل
• "And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship
Me.“ [Adh-Dhaariyat:56]
3. Worship:
All those things we say
or do, seen or hidden –
to please Allah.
Specific beliefs, feelings
and actions which are
commanded by Allah
Beliefs and feelings:
Loving Allah, fearing
Allah, Relying on Allah,
putting our hopes in him
Actions:
Praying fasting,
obeying our parents…
All other acts of goodness
generally encouraged in
the life of a Muslim.
Smiling, helping others,
eating healthyfood,
seeking knowledge...
4. Walk and Worship
• Smile at others, help them and
be nice with them, that’s
worshipping.
• Listen to your parents, be clean
and keep everything neat
• Help your neighbor, hold the
door for someone, visit a sick
friend
5. All of these are different acts of Worship.
You can turn everyday activities into acts of worship by making the
intention of pleasing Allah.
6. The greatest command, the greatest prohibition and the greatest reward
• As we learnt, there are many forms of worship.
• But the greatest thing that Allah commands us to do is to worship
Him alone, not anyone or anything else.
This is called TAWHEED.
The Opposite of Tawheed is
SHIRK
7. Shirk
• Shirk is worshipping some one or something else
besides Allah
• The greatest thing that Allah prohibits us from is Shirk.
• Proof:
"Say, I have only been commanded to worship Allah and not associate
[anything] with Him. To Him I invite, and to Him is my return."(Ar-Ra'd 13:36)
For example: going to a dead persons grave and asking for his help
is Shirk.
8. Activity:
Read the ayah and then answer the questions:
“O people! Worship your Lord alone, who created you and those who came
before you, so that you may save yourselves from the fire; Who assigned to you
the earth for a resting place, and the heaven for a canopy and sent don water out
of the heaven; and brought forth therewith Fruits for your sustenance; Assign not,
therefore, rivals to Allah while you know the Truth.” [Al-Baqarah:21-22]

9. The important Three
The three things
we all must
know about
First: Knowing
our Lord
Second:
Knowing our
Religion
Third: Knowing
our Prophet
What are the three things that a Muslim must know about?
10. Why is it important to know these three things?
• In the grave, after we die, we will be questioned by the angels
• Who is your Lord?
• What is your religion?
• Who is your Prophet?
• Knowing about these three things will help us to worship Allah
better and practice our religion better.

We enter a new evening upon the Fiṭrah (pure disposition) of Islām, upon the word of pure faith, upon the
religion of our Prophet Muḥammad(s.a.w) and upon the creed of our forefather Ibrahīm (a.s) who was one
inclining towards truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allah] and he was not of the polytheists.
Evening Adhkaar #2
Editor's Notes
What is la ilaha…
Who is our lord?
How can we know more about our lord?
Allah is the creator. What has Allah created?
How does Allah create anything?
Eveything Allah creates has a purpose
Be grateful for everthing.
Love Allah
How do we show our love for him?
Learning the name of Allah? Hadith
Al-Ahad
Al-Baseer
Ar-Razzaq
Hadith:
Allah created the pen and asked it to write. “What should I write?” –”Wriite out all that is destined to happn until the DOJ”.
The pen wrote everythin 50,000 years before the creations of earth and heaven.
Worship: Everything that Allah loves
Like Dua, salah, zakah…
Not necessary that you have to be praying everytime. There are other forms of worship too.
The most important thing is to have an INTENTION to please Allah
This is the thing that makes our act acceoted ny Allah. So do not do things to show off. (this will be shirk)
