KALIMAH TAYYIBAH-
THE WHOLESOME WORD

“Do you not see how Allah
explains the example of the Pure
(Wholesome) word as a
wholesome tree? Its roots are
firmly grounded and its branches
reach into the sky.
(Ibraaheem, Aayat 24)

It yields its (wholesome) fruit
each season by the permission of
its Rabb.
Allah cites examples for people so
that they may ponder.”
(Ibraaheem, Aayat 25)

KALIMAH TAYYIBAH – THE WHOLESOME WORD

INTRODUCTION
“Offer naseehat (advice), for Naseehat
benefits the Mu’mineen.”
(Thaariyaat, Aayat 55)

Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said
that the Deen is Naseehat. Offering Naseehat
is the incumbent duty of every Mu’min.
Naseehat benefits the Mu’mineen. It reminds
them of Allah Ta’ala and the objectives of the
Aakhirat for which Allah Ta’ala has created
us.

Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam)
said: “The world has been created for you, but
you have been created for the Aakhirat.”

This Kitaab is a treasure of Naseehat which
will most assuredly benefit the Mu’mineen
who read and reflect with the intention of
gaining moral reformation.

The Wholesome Words of Naseehat of the
Auliya narrated in this Kitaab are like the

KALIMAH TAYYIBAH – THE WHOLESOME WORD

Wholesome Tree, the roots of which are firmly
embedded in the ground and its branches reach
into the sky. The words and episodes of the
Auliya generate in the hearts of the
Mu’mineen the yearning for Allah Ta’ala and
a disinclination for the world.

In these times, due to the absence of true
Saaliheen, it is of greater importance to daily
read a few pages of their lives and their
advices. This is the only way to stay on course
of Siraatul Mustaqeem. Without the Suhbat
(companionship) of the Saaliheen, attainment
of moral reformation and spiritual elevation is
normally not possible. In the absence of the
Saaliheen, their Kitaabs will be an adequate
substitute for their Suhbat.

The world today is morally and spiritually
barren and bankrupt. The Saaliheen have all
departed from this world. About them
Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:

“The Saalihoon are departing one after the
other (in quick succession). Then there will
