RECAP PREVIOUS LESSON

By retracing our life, we start with understanding
our basic nature as a human being - having
inherent powers and their potentialities to be
developed.

All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2011)


In our relationship regarding our Education – we
are to encounter, i.e. assisted by our educators -

with what is referred to as, “knowledge”.



Yet, we are born helpless and have to be cared,
nurtured, to be inculcated with discipline, taught and
developed by a Murabbi’ (EDUCATOR) – the first of
whom are our PARENTS.


TO PROCEED

WE ARE NOW ON THE TOPIC


“Allah witnesses that there is no deity except Him, and
[so do] the angels and those of knowledge - [that He is]
maintaining [creation] in justice (QISTw). There is no
deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise."
(Qur’an: Aali ‘Imran: 3: 18)


“O MANKIND! Worship (serve) your Sustainer, who has
created you and those who lived before you, so that you
might remain conscious of Him (TAQWA)“
(Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 21)


“ (Allah) Who has made the earth a resting-place for
you and the sky a canopy, and has sent down water
from the sky and thereby brought forth fruits for your
sustenance: do not, then, claim that there is any power
that could rival Allah, when you know [that He is One].”


And [mention] when your Lord took from the children
of Adam - from their loins - their descendants and
made them testify of themselves, [saying to them],
"Am I not your Lord?"

They said, "Yes, we have testified."

[This] - lest you should say on the day of
Resurrection, "Indeed, we were of this unaware."
(Qur’an: A’raf: 7: 172)


Prophet Muhammad’ s.a.a.w. said :

“Every child is born in a state of pure innocence (FITRAH),
It is the parents then who would make him to become
a Jew or a Christian or a Pagan.”
(Hadith reported by Bukhary)

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).


NEVER FORGET YOUR TRUE PURPOSE FOR EXISTING


NEVER FORGET YOUR TRUE PURPOSE FOR EXISTING

“And [tell them that] I have not created the invisible
beings and men to any end other than that they may
[know and] worship Me. [But withal,] no sustenance do
I ever demand of them, nor do I demand that they feed
Me: for, verily, Allah Himself is the Provider of all
sustenance, the Lord of all might, the Eternal!”
(Qur’an: Dzariyat: 51: 56-58)

KHAUF


“It is but Satan who instils [into you] fear (KHAUF) of his
allies: so fear them not, but fear Me (KHAA-FUU-N), if you
are [truly] believers!”
(Qur’an: Aali ‘Imran: 3: 175)


“Say: “Allah alone do I worship, sincere in my faith in Him
alone -and [it is up to you, O sinners, to] worship
whatever you please instead of Him!”

Say: “Behold, the [true] losers will be they who shall have
lost their own selves and their kith and kin on
Resurrection Day: for is not this, this, the [most] obvious
loss?”
(Qur’an: Zumar: 39: 14-15)


“Clouds of fire will they have above them, and [similar]
clouds beneath them…” In this way does Allah imbue His
servants with fear (KHAUF). O you servants of Mine! Be,
then, conscious of Me seeing that for those who shun the
powers of evil lest they [be tempted to] worship them,
and turn unto Allah instead, there is the glad tiding [of
happiness in the life to come]. Give, then, this glad tiding
to [those of] My servants”
(Qur’an: Zumar: 39: 16-17)


 Among the natural instinct (FITRAH) in mankind is that of “Fear”.

 This is especially important for self-preservation, or in matters
which propel him avoid whatever is harmful or dangerous. Yet,
often fear can make a person to cowardly submit to falsehood or
imaginings and not to the truth or to Allah (the One Whom
mankind ought to fear).
 Thus TAUHEED with the knowledge of Who Allah is, Islam
teaches Muslims to remove the misplaced fear of others, but
channel them to Allah and heed the warnings He gave, so that
man can seek His Mercy before it is too late.


 Because of Allah’s justice, man must be warned that their actions
in this life can bring many adverse consequences or harm and
severe punishments, albeit, delayed or even in another life.
 The fear of Allah, is in fear of His Wrath – the outcome of His
Justice. Yet, mankind generally is fearful of worldly things which
are temporal and inconsequential whereas the Reality of the
warning regarding that in the Hereafter is most severe and
eternal.


 Only those who succumb to fear of Allah and this ultimate truth
of Akhirah and make amends and motivated to seek reparation
while in this life - will have these evil consequences averted from
them.


 We are constantly reminded that it is Allah that ultimate decides
our fate. Alas, many are deceived to be fearful of others even to the
extent of being disobedient to Allah. Whereas Allah reminds us:

Say: "Never can anything befall us save what Allah has
decreed! He is our Lord Supreme; and in Allah let the
believers place their trust!“
(Qur’an: Taubah: 9: 51)


TO PROCEED

KHASHI-YA


“HAD WE bestowed this Qur’an from on high upon a
mountain, thou wouldst indeed see it humbling itself,
breaking asunder for awe of Allah (KHASH-YA-TILLAAH).
And [all] such parables We propound unto men, so that
they might [learn to] think.”
(Qur’an: Hashr: 59: 21)


 The meaning of “KHASHIYA” means a sense of “awe” which is
linked to the knowledge of Allah s.w.t. such that one becomes
humbled and with reverence, shame and dread which cause us
to “melt ” into being totally insignificant.
 This attitude or inner feeling, is the outcome of profound
knowledge and realization of how “awesome” , an amazement
or wonder in our being after true meaning the signs (AAYAT )
we ‘read’ propel us to glimpse the Exaltedness and
Almightiness of Allah, the Creator, Sustainer of the entire
universe.


“ART THOU NOT aware that Allah sends down water from the
skies, whereby We bring forth fruits of many hues - just as in
the mountains there are streaks of white and red of various
shades, as well as (others) raven-black, and (as) there are in
men, and in crawling beasts, and in cattle, too, many hues?
Of all His servants, only such as are endowed with [innate]
knowledge stand [truly] in awe of Allah (YAKH-SHALLAAH):
[for they alone comprehend that,] verily, Allah is almighty,
much-forgiving.”
(Qur’an: Fatir: 35: 27-28)


“Would you, perchance, fail to fight against people who have
broken their solemn pledges, and have done all that they could to
drive the Messenger away, and have been first to attack you? Do
you hold them in awe (TAKH-SHAU)? Nay, it is Allah alone of whom
you ought to stand in awe (TAKH-SHAU), if you are [truly]
believers!.”
(Qur’an: Taubah: 9: 13)

“Today, those who are bent on denying the truth have lost all hope of
[your ever forsaking] your religion: do not, then, hold them in awe, but
stand in awe of Me (WAKH-SHAU-N)! Today have I perfected your
religious law for you, and have bestowed upon you the full measure of My
blessings, and willed that self-surrender unto Me shall be your religion..”
(Qur’an: Maa-idah: 5: 3)


 Our tendency to be impressed, awestruck etc. from our
knowledge and conviction, is natural and inevitable. Just like
“KHAUF” , it is meant to be directed towards realization of
Allah, the One Who deserves our attention.
 Yet, because many do not go beyond the signs and the physical
or mundane to connect it with the Divine, it is possible for
them to only be amazed only in these signs. Some even deny
Allah.
 These are mentioned by Allah as warning :


“And We have certainly created for Hell many
of the jinn and mankind. They have hearts
with which they do not understand, they have
eyes with which they do not see, and they
have ears with which they do not hear. Those
are like livestock; rather, they are more
astray. It is they who are the heedless.”
(Qur’an: A’raf: 7: 179)


TO PROCEED

RA-JAA


“VERILY, Allah does not forgive (SHIRK) the ascribing of divinity to
aught beside Him, although He forgives any lesser sin (than SHIRK)
unto whomever He wills: for those who ascribe divinity to aught
beside Allah have indeed gone far astray.”
(Qur’an: An-Nisa’: 4: 116)


 As Believers, we uphold TAUHEED (Attestation to Oneness of
Allah) and reject all forms of SHIRK (ascribing partners to Him),
and although he dies with sins, yet we have been promised
forgiveness from Allah s.w.t.
 With TAUHEED, there is HOPE. Our Prophet Muhammad
s.a.a.w. will intercede for sinful people of TAUHEED , who may
end up in hell ,and with Allah’s Mercy, bring them out into
Paradise.
 And even after death, believers who dies without any sin of
SHIRK , can benefit from the Du’a from living believers seeking
forgiveness for us. So always repent and make ISTIGHFAR
which includes renewal of our TAUHEED.

fear of Allah on his last hour (near death), Allah will grant
