The word Ikhlas
means to be pure,
to purify something.
I heard from Sheikh Abdul Hamoud from Ib
Yemen. It's one of my teachers.
Right? You purify something from filth. But imam
says something beautiful about
why we have to constantly make sure that
we're trying to be sincere. It's not a
one time thing. It's not like I achieve
achieve sincerity, and then I'm good for the
rest of my life.
I have to, like, battle
always. Sufyan al Thawri,
he said, like, there's nothing more difficult than
sincerity because every time I thought I I
got it, I lost it.
So
Imam Aragha al Asfahani, and his he has
a great dictionary
that he wrote
about the Quran,
And he says that
this word
comes from a word which means you purify
something,
but then
still
it can have some
shortcomings. Like it's not permanent. It's not a
permanent sanitation. It's not a permanent form of
purity.
Something that we always have to work on.
And he says that
is to make everything for Allah
to make Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala exclusive for
worship.
