The Explanation of the Six Principles

Rate this book
This is the first principle; doing actions sincerely for Allah the Blessed and Exalted, and ‎warning and distancing oneself from Shirk. This is the principle which the Shaykh of Islam ‎began with, may Allah have mercy upon him. This is the core of the foundation, the greatest of ‎them, and the most beneficial of them without exception; making the actions sincerely for ‎Allah, and warning against Shirk. ‎

Making all actions sincere for Allah the worship of the person, and their obedience, to ‎include prayer, Zakat, sacrificing, hope, fear, vowing, reliance, seeking help and other than ‎that, must be sincerely for Allah the Blessed and Exalted. ‎

The (action which is) sincere (‎ِِAl-Khaalis) is that which is pure and untainted; not containing ‎impurity. It does not contain the impurity of Shirk, or the impurity of showing off or trying to ‎be heard of, rather the person only seeks by his actions the Face of Allah the Blessed and ‎Exalted. When he supplicates, he makes his Dua’a sincerely for Allah. When he relies, purifies ‎his reliance only relying upon Allah, when he fears he purifies his fear, only fearing Allah. He ‎performs all of his worship for Allah the Blessed and Exalted. He does not ask from other than ‎Allah, he only seeks aid from Allah, he only puts his trust in Allah, and he entrust all of his ‎affairs to Allah the Blessed and Exalted.‎

The (action which is) sincere is that which is pure and untainted. And Allah the Blessed and ‎Exalted only accepts actions if they are done sincerely for His Face, in accordance with the ‎Sunnah of His prophet, peace be upon him. The Exalted ‎

And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in ‎religion. (Soorah Al-Bayyinah 98 :5)‎

Surely, the religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is for Allah only. (Soorah Az-‎Zumar 39:3)‎

And He ‎

Verily, Allah forgives not that partners should be set up with him in worship, but He ‎forgives except that (anything else) to whom He pleases (Soorah An Nisa 4:48)‎

And the prophet peace be upon him ‎

Allah the Blessed and Exalted I am so self-sufficient that I am in no need of ‎having an associate. Thus he who does an action for someone else’s sake as well as ‎Mine, I will have that action renounced by Me to him whom he associated with Me. ‎


Here is an issue which needs attention and it Regardless of our level of knowledge and ‎regardless of our level of obedience and worship it is upon us—O slaves of Allah—to enjoin ‎one other with the Tawheed of Allah the Blessed and Exalted often; and to always warn ‎ourselves from falling into Shirk, its major forms and its minor forms. From the proofs of that ‎is the statement of Allah the Blessed and Exalted about the Imam of the monotheist, Ibrahim ‎Al Khaleel, peace be upon him. He said in his Dua’‎

And keep me and my sons away from worshipping idols. (Soorah Ibrahim 14:35)‎

And he is a prophet, and his sons Ismael and Ishaq are prophets, and yet he makes this great ‎Dua’a.‎
