العلم ما نفع
قال الشافعي رحمه الله:
العِلْمُ مَا نَفَعَ لَيْسَ مَا حُفِظَ.
Knowledge is what benefits
Ash-Shaafi’ee (rahimahullaah) said:
“Knowledge is that which benefits not that which is memorised”

الإخلاصُ
قال الشافعي رحمه الله
لَوْ اجْتَهَدَ أحَدُكُمْ كُلَ الجُهْدِ عَلى أنْ يَرضِيَ الناسَ كُلًّهُمُ عَنْهُ فَلا سَبِيلَ لَهُ, فَلْيُخلِصِ العَبدُ عَمَلَهُ بَيْنَهُ وبَيْنَ اللهُ تعالى
Sincerity
Ash-Shaafi’ee (rahimahullaah) said:
“If one of you were to strive with utmost striving to make all the people pleased with him then there is no way for him (i.e. he’ll never be able to do that).
So let the servant purify his actions which are between him and Allaah Ta’aala.”

And he also said,
“No-one knows Riyaa (showing-off, insincerity etc) except the sincere ones.”

Wa alaykum as salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. Is there any subtle difference between the terms “mukhlAs” & “mukhlIs”? Did it come to anyone’s notice? This web page has digged out some of the most hidden gems of the arabic language. Let these 2 terms 2 come under ur microscope. Who knows u may find something really worth making an effort for… And ending with a quote from as-soosee “WHAT ALLAAH EXPECTS FROM HIS CREATION IS NOTHING BUT IKHLAAS.”
A mukhlis is one who purifies their intention, is sincere etc (اسم الفاعل) whereas a mukhlas is one purified by Allah, is kept sincere and is chosen by Allah (اسم المفعول). In the Qur’an, the Prophets are sometimes referred to as being mukhlasin:
“واذكر في الكتاب موسى إنه كان مخلَصا وكان رسولا نبيا” (Maryam: 51)
Ah! It seems u’ve had already done ur homework on this. Now that point of difference definitely opens the door wide open for those willing to take heed or reflect. Thanks 4 that
