Jutba of the Jumua: The Importance of the Ijlas
(1) Descent of the Book from Allah, the Mighty, the Wise.
(2) We have caused the Book of Truth to come down to you; He worships Allah sincerely, offering Him only worship.
(3) Is not Allah due exclusive worship?
Those who have taken protectors besides Him, (say): We worship them only so that they may give us closeness to Allah.
Allah will judge among them on what they differed from.
Allah does not guide one who is a liar and ungrateful.
(The Groups, 39)
