Who is Allah? • Is Allah some type of a tribal Arabian God ? or just the ‘God of Muslims’? • The Creator of all including Muslims! • The Lord of all mankind, jinn, angels, ka’bah, animals, birds & ALL THAT is on the earth & the heavens. Www.YasSarNalQuRaN.WordPress.Com 3

Importance of Niyyah • “Deeds are judged only by intentions. And everyone will only have the reward what he intended for.” • The merit of all our actions is squarely based on purity of motive. • Think. Why am I doing this act? • To please Allah or please people? Www.YasSarNalQuRaN.WordPress.Com 4

Don’t forget the Spirit! There are 2 things behind every act: 1. FORM (outward) 2. SPIRIT (inner/inward) Every act of worship in Islam has a form and a spirit. Eg. Salah / Hajj: Stoning for eg. Emphasis must be on purpose/Why? Know the spirit. Keep the spirit alive! Www.YasSarNalQuRaN.WordPress.Com 5
