One of the main pillars of purification of the heart, perhaps even the backbone, is the pillar of sincerity, eclas.

Eclas is the very reason why Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala legislated the entire religion.

Worship Allah with eclas, making the religion sincere to him.

The only commandment that I have given them, the only commandment, is that they worship Allah with eclas.

When our Prophet Allah wa sallam reminded us of the importance of eclas, in many dozens of eclas,

of them, the first eclas in the most authentic books of Ayah al-Bukhari.

Actions will be judged by what is inside, not what is outside.

And Allah will reward you based upon what is here, not what is there.

Allah does not look at your outer bodies, he does not look at your forms, he does not look at your shapes.

Rather he looks at your hearts and what the deeds produce from those hearts.

The concept of eclas brothers and sisters, we can go on and on.

One of the famous tabi'in he remarked, eclas changes everything.

If you have the right eclas, the smallest deed will be magnified to the biggest.

And if you don't have eclas, the largest deed will be destroyed and become annulled.

What is important is what is inside.

What is important, everything is based upon this sincerity.

What is eclas linguistically?

And when we use it in the shari'a, what does it mean?

The word eclas comes from the three letter qalasa.

And qalasa means actually to get rid of, to finish.

So that's why the Arabs say qalasa, you done, right?
