ال اله اال هللاAllah created the whole world for هللا اال اله ال . Allah created Paradise and Hell for هللا اال اله ال . There is a

Day of Judgment because of هللا اال اله ال . Our test in life is هللا اال اله ال . Our happiness is in هللا اال اله ال . In [16:97]:

من وهو أن ثى أو ذكر من صالحا عمل من يينه مؤ زينهم طي بة حياة فلنح رهم ولنج سن أج يع ملون كانوا ما بأح "Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him We will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and We shall pay them certainly a reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do

(i.e. Paradise in the Hereafter)." In order for good deeds to be accepted, they need to meet two conditions: هللا اال اله ال Sincerity. This comes when you believe in – اإلخالص (1 . When you know that Allah is the only One who can accept and reward your good deeds.

اعاإلتب (2 - Following the Sunnah of the Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص

Surah Ghafir - سورة غافر In [40:64-65]:

ض لكم جعل الذي الل ر ركم بناء والسماء قرارا ال سن وصو لكم الطي بات من ورزقكم صوركم فأح ذ فتبارك ربكم الل رب الل

ال عالمين "Allah, it is He Who has made for you the earth as a dwelling place and the sky as a canopy, and has

given you shape and made your shapes good (looking) and has provided you with good things. That is Allah, your Lord, then blessed be Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists)."

We were born believing هللا اال اله ال - and that's what the فطرة (Natural Instinct) is. Disbelief is something odd. " قرارا الرض لكم جعل الذي هللا " Allah made the earth stable for you. It's been prepared for your benefit. " بناء السماء و " The heavens are a ceiling for the earth. It's like a construction. The heavens are not all for you, but the earth is all for you. " صوركم فأحسن صوركم و "

Allah favored the human being by fashioning and beautifying him in the best form. In [95:4]: "Verily, We created man of the best stature (mould)" And this includes our feelings, knowledge, our brains, etc. " الطيبات من رزقكم و " And Allah provided you from the طيبات. " ربكم هللا ذالكم " That is Allah, your Rabb; Your Reformer, Your Nurturer. " العالمين رب هللا فتبارك " Blessed be Allah; the Lord of all the Worlds. He is the One who is blessed in everything, and the blessing is in His hands. He is the only One who is Blessed in Himself.

"He is the Ever Living, La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), so invoke Him making your worship pure for Him Alone (by worshipping Him Alone, and none else, and by doing

righteous deeds sincerely for Allah's sake only, and not to show off, and not to set up rivals with Him in worship). All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that

exists)." " الحي هو " To Allah belongs the Perfect, Complete, Most Beautiful Life. There is no beginning and no end to His life; while everything has else a day on which they begin, and a day on which they end. Our lives are limited. We were once not there, and there will come a day when we wont exist. Allah is never absent or unavailable. We don't see Allah, but we need to believe that He is الحي. And His life is perfect in all aspects; His hearing, seeing, knowledge, is Perfect. We live, but our hearing, seeing, knowledge, kindness, is not perfect. Allah's life is complete and perfect in all aspects, and there is no one whose life is like His. " هو اال اله ال " Don't attach yourself with feelings to someone who can be absent, disappear, die, or isn't perfect. Attach yourself to the One who is never seperated from you, never absent, never dies, never sleeps, whose perfection can never be affected. Don't make anyone else your إله. Don't devote the feelings of your heart to anyone other than Allah; or you'll live a very sad life. When you have a problem, Allah is الحي. Whenever you need something, Allah is الحي. This motivates you to not attach your heart to anyone except Allah. " الدين له مخلصين فادعوه " So ask Him. And this is an act of worship; so don't ask anyone except Him. Make the Face of Allah your main concern. Make His pleasure your goal. This should be your main focus in life. Keep working and working for this goal until death comes. In [15:99]:

"And worship your Lord until there comes unto you the certainty (i.e. death)." You worship Allah sincerely because He is الحي. And only He knows about your sincerity. It's not like you tire yourself, and no one appreciates you, because they don't know what you're doing. None of the Jinn knew that Sulayman السالم عليه died until the worm ate from his stick. They worked and worked and found all their work to be in vain, because he was dead. You have one job for your entire life, and that is to worship Allah. Just focus on One your entire life. And your Master never dies, He never even sleeps. In [51:56]: "And I (Allah) created not the jinns and humans except they should worship Me (Alone)." " العالمين الرب هلل دالحم " All praise is due to Allah because He is Rabb Al-Alameen. Because He is الحي, whom there is no one like. We have the Best of Dhikr: هللا اال اله ال And the Best of Duas: هلل الحمد All this makes you appreciate that Allah is One, and that He is our Rabb. The Theme of Surah AlGhafir is Da'wah. And the Da'wah is هللا اال اله ال . The Da'wah of the Messengers was

هللا اال اله ال . And there's a verse regarding this in [37:35]:

ه ال لهم قيل إذا كانوا إنهم إال إل برون الل تك يس "Truly, when it was said to them: La ilaha ill-Allah "(none has the right to be worshipped but Allah)," they

puffed themselves up with pride (i.e. denied it)." Surah Saffat is about complete submission to Allah. هللا اال اله ال is mentioned in the context of the People of the Hellfire. When people made Da'wah to them in this world, reminded them with هللا اال اله ال , they would show arrogance. They don't like it and deny it when you tell them to not attach themselves to anyone except Allah. And Allah mentioned in [39:45]: "And when Allah Alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are filled with disgust (from the Oneness of Allah and when those (whom they obey or worship) besides Him [like all false deities other than Allah, it may be a Messenger like 'Iesa (Jesus) - son of Maryam (Mary), 'Uzair (Ezra), an angel, a pious man, a jinn, or any other creature even idols, graves of religious people, saints, priests, monks, etc.] are mentioned, behold, they rejoice!" If you tell them about the people, the means, or anything other than Allah, they feel happy. And yet ال

هللا اال اله is a word which will be the means of removing people of Hellfire. We need to remember هللا اال اله ال and to rely on Allah, because every situation we go through is a test,

and the tests can come so subtly.
