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 Allahs final Messenger Muhammad s.a.w.Thus the two statements contain this message:There is no god except Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

How does one Attest to this? How to manifest this message in ones life?

From Hadith Jibra-il a.s. , our Prophet enumerated the important aspects of :All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

[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 (2016)

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'tre. 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 (2016)

We are only saved by Allahs Grace and His Merciful Acceptance of our faith, servitude and worship. This must be the core attitude of every Muslims 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 (2016)

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 unknown/unseen to every one except Allah.All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

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). Quran: Mulk: 67: 14)All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

This concern for acceptance by Allah SWT, 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 Allahs law and fulfilling His every command. All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

This state of consciousness of Allahs 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 (2016)

This state is termed TAQWA (consciousness with reverential fear of Allah) is 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). (Quran: Hujurat: 49: 13)All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

Thus, to attain to TAQWA it must be with this IHSAN, inculcating mindfulness of Allahs 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 Allahs Presence Who:no vision can comprehend, whereas He alone comprehends all vision.All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

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 (2016)

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. (Quran: Baqarah: 2: 115)*All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

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.(Quran: Luqman: 31: 16)*All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

Therefore after we have learnt aspects of:ARKAA-NUL-IIMANARKAA-NUL-ISLAM

We now come to the aspect which perfects it, which is:

AL-IHSANAll Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

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 (2016)

* (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). (Quran: Surah Baqarah: 2: 138)All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

( 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 (2016)

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 (2016)

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)PROPHET MUHAMMAD . :His reply to the question what is AL-IHSAN ?, he said :All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

It is indeed amazing that IHSAN- righteousness of best conduct has been linked by the Prophet Muhammad . 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 (2016)

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 (2016)

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 (2016)


... 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 (2016)

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:*All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

* And they have been commanded no more than this: to worship Allah, offering Him sincere devotion, being True (in faith);(Quran: Bayyinah: 98: 5)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:All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

* 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." (Quran: Zumar: 39: 11-12)All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

*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)PROPHET MUHAMMAD SAID:All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

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) *All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

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).*All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

*Have you ever considered (the kind of man) who makes his own desires as his deities? Then would you be responsible for him? (Quran: Furqan: 25: 43)All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)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 ever be worshipped on this earth forever, but if you obey 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.

(Excerpt from the Seerah by Ibnu Hisham, al-Iqd-ul Farid by Ibnu Abdi Rabbih and Bukhary s Saheeh)REFLECT DEEPLY WHAT THE PROPHET SAID IN HIS FAREWELL SERMON:All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

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 Allahs sake but only to please their hidden desires.

(Hadith reported by Ibnu Majah in Kitab Az-Zuhdu)REFLECT DEEPLY WHAT THE PROPHET SAID:All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

*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 yourselves? (Quran: Jatsiyah: 45: 23)All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

*PROPHET MUHAMMAD SAID:The SHIRK within my ummah is more hidden (subtle) than a black ant crawling on a black rock, in the darkness of the night(Hadith reported by Ahmad, Tabarani & Abu Yala)All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

AWARENESS OF ALLAH as though you are seeing Him; while you see Him not, yet truly He sees you.Our awareness of Allah SWT is key This quality of awareness actually correspond with our knowledge (MARIFAH) of Allahs Perfect attributes, Al-mightiness and Holy Exaltedness, vis--vis our utter shortcomings, sinfulness and utter (poverty and) dependence upon His Mercy with true humility (KHUSHU) , fearing (KHAUF) His rejection and punishment, yet ever hoping (RAJA ) for His acceptance of all our deeds and devotions in seeking to please Him (REDHA).All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

* (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).

* 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.

*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.

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).*IKHLASWAll Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

(There is no god except Allah) is also called KALIMAH-AL-IKHLASW (pure or sincere Word); and KALIMAH-AL-TOY-YIBAH (the good Word).*All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

But seek, through that which Allah has given you, the home of the Hereafter; and [yet], do not forget your share of the world. And (FA-AHSIN) do good (to others) as Allah has done good to you (AHSANALLAHU-ILAYK). And desire not corruption (FASAD) in the land. Indeed, Allah does not like corrupters (MUFSIDEEN).(Quran: Qasas: 28: 77)All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

And who is better (AHSAN) in speech than one who invites to Allah and does righteousness and says, "Indeed, I am of the Muslims."And not equal are the good deed (HASANAH) and the bad (SAI-YI-AH). Repel [evil] by that [deed] which is better (AHSAN); and thereupon the one whom between you and him is enmity [will become] as though he was a devoted friend.But none is granted it except those who are patient, and none is granted it except one having a great portion [of good].(Quran: Fussilat: 41: 33-35)All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)
