Concepts of
1. Purpose
2. Needs
3. Wants
4. Dreams
➔ We fulfill our needs before we fulfill our wants because needs are more important
than wants.
➔ Similarly, we give priority to Purpose before Needs because Purpose is more
Important than our needs.
Quran tells Us (the meaning of which is): “And we created the Jinns and the Humans only for
our IBAADAH”
Ibaadah: Total Submission to Almighty Allah
Our Purpose: To Submit to Allah and Follow His Commands every step of the way.
If we deviate from Our Purpose, we will be like the Cattle but even Worse than the cattle.
Purpose is what Keeps us Alive.

Concept of Imaan
Hadees e Jibraeel
Narrated by Hazrat Umar
Summary of Hadees:
A Man comes to a halqa of Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) and his Companions.
● He has the blackest of Beards
● He has the whitest of Clothes
● No one in the Sahaba knows him
It’s intriguing to the Sahaba to see a stranger and a traveller with his clothes and beard
with no sand from the desert.
He bypasses all the sahaba in the halqa and sits directly in front of the Prophet (Peace Be
Upon Him) such that his knees are touching the knees of the Prophet and his hands are on
Prophet’s thighs. From his manner of approach, it seems that he is used to seeing the Prophet
(Peace Be Upon Him).
He asks 4 questions:
1. What is IMAN?
Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) replied, the meaning of which is:
IMAN is to believe in Allah and His Angels and His Books and His Messangers and the Day of
Judgement and Qadr of Good and Bad from Allah and Revival after Death.
The man said SADAQTA which means “You told the Truth”
2. What is ISLAM?
Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) replied, the meaning of which is:
Islam is to
1. Declare Tawheed
2. Namaz
3. Zakat
4. Fasting
5. Hajj
3. What is IHSAN?
Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) replied, the meaning of which is:
That you should pray as if you can see Allah.
If you can’t do this, then pray knowing that Allah is seeing you.
, 4. When will be the hour?
The man who is being asked knows as much as the one who is asking.
(Sahaba are amazed at the answer because the Prophet is equating his knowledge with that of
the stranger).
He asked for the signs of the hour,
Signs of the hour:
1. The slave girl will give birth to her mistress.
2. Poor/destitute/naked shepherds will compete in building tall buildings.
The man left and the Prophet told the Companions that the man was in fact Angel Jibraeel and
he was sent to show them how to ask questions to the Prophet.
Analysis of the Hadees
Iman = ء م ن: AMN / MOMIN
Islam = س ل م: SALAM / TASLEEM (submission) / SALAMTI
Ihsan = ح س ن: HUSN (beauty)
Deen = د ي ن: DAIN (loan)
● Mushahida is Seen.
● Iman is Unseen.
● Kalma e Shahada is bearing witness for the UNSEEN.
● (That is also Ihsan).
, YAQEEN :
1. Ilm ul Yaqeen (just knowledge)
a. Mango is never sweet who has never tasted anything sweet.
2. Ain ul Yaqeen (u can see it)
a. You see the sun. You know it is there.
3. Haq ul Yaqeen (u feel and experience it)
a. Your mother loves you:

ii. She doesn’t need to tell you. ( ilm )
