The teaching of Islam is not merely concerned about the
outward manifestation of one’s submission (although important and
indispensible).
Its perfection which as important and indispensible – perhaps
many may disregard - is the concept of IHSAN that requires the inner
dimension of a Muslim’s servitude and worship. Since the essence of
‘ibadat is the intention, residing in our spiritual heart/mind (QALB)
which requires sincerity (IKHLAS), knowledge on how to maintain it’s
purity and growth is vital.
Thus knowledge about the nature and state of our spiritual Self
(NAFS) is very important.

“He (Allah) it is who has sent unto the unlettered
people a messenger from among themselves, to convey
unto them His messages, and to cause them to grow in
purity, and to impart unto them the divine writ as well
as wisdom - whereas before that they were indeed,
most obviously, lost in error.”

Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. was sent as the educator of mankind
par excellence. The previous verse explains the manner of his
approach and most significant (important and indispensible) is the
stage of TAZKIYYATUN-NUFUS (Purification and growth of the spiritual
Selves) before his imparting or teaching them the Qur’an (al-Kitab) and
As-Sunnah (al-Hikmah).
And unlike secular education, what truly defines the essence of a
person in Islamic worldview is his soul or spiritual Self. Mere outward
transformation only is unacceptable without also a corresponding
inner change.

For in Islam, the success of our education is not merely in Muslims
being knowledgeable but requires that such knowledge must transform
their disposition (AKHLAQ) with noble virtues - the raison d'être of our
Prophet’s mission as in one of his sayings.

And “ AKHLAQ “, as asserted by Imam Hujwiri rahm.a. :
“are non-contrived praiseworthy actions not proceeding from
particular motives. Their outer form is in harmony with their
inner truth; they are actions devoid of pretension.”

The first that a person is naturally aware of is – “himself /
herself”. This consciousness naturally develops and everything else
becomes identified relative to it.
As mankind is created in “the best conformation”, he is equipped
with capabilities. Inherent within him are faculties with great
potentials, if not properly nurtured may cause its growth to become
distorted or unbalanced.
Amongst the latent powers or faculties termed as “Quw-wah”,
some of which are also inherent in some other beings, yet it is
mankind that possess all of these. Yet which one uniquely
distinguishes mankind as human?
