The Faqir and the Old Man (Shaytan) | Mufti Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf

Shaykh Abdur Rahman (hafizahullah) recites a verse from Surat al-Bayyinah in which Allah mentions how He has commanded worship of Him alone and for the servant to make their religious practises purely for Him. Shaykh reveals how sincerity is the ultimate goal for the seeker on the path in which he or she desires for the acceptance of their deeds in the court of Allah. He reveals how this trait is only learnt from the ‘people of Allah’ (being in the company of the mashayikh). During the initial stages of carrying out a virtuous deed the salik could pass through challenges of riya' (ostentation) and insincerity (either desiring the admiration of the people or doing a deed to attain the benefit for him or herself) before the pure ikhlas can be attained. Here the Shaykh advises that during this struggle the aspirant should not pay heed to the whispers of shaitan, who will try to make them abandon the virtuous deed altogether. The aspirant should continue with their action as eventually they will be able to carry it out seeking purely the pleasure of Allah.

As Salam o alaikum Shaykh Jumu'ah Mubarak and Eid Mubarak May I respectfully request you to explain whose interpretation of the Qur'an are you most comfortable with? For example, explanations by Hadrat Ali ibn Abi Talib or someone else? I look forward to your reply. With sincere best wishes, Afzaal

Notes: • Do not be concerned on the size of the good deed, rather focus on the quality of the sincerity (ikhlas). • The biggest challenge with any good deed is public recognition; regular introspection in this respect will purify our ikhlas. • Ikhlas is learnt and an ongoing process; therefore never give up and abandon good deeds. • Ikhlas is required to overcome the strength of shaytan. Without it, a slave of Allah (swt) cannot overcome shaytan. The greater the ikhlas, the less effect shaytan will have over the slave of Allah (swt). • Knowledge and Ikhlas will enable the nafs to escape from shaytan. • A sincere step closer to Allah (swt) with Ikhlas (sincerity and purity) is very powerful. • Ikhlas is like comparing a cheap manufactured product to a very refined product; it is very simple to manufacturer and sell an inferior product for $1, compared to spending years in manufacturing and selling a $1 million product
