The term “Mukhlis” has been used only once in the Qura’n and that too for apostle Moses bin Imran. His purity has been described even before he was ordained as a prophet. “And mention in the Book Moses. Verily he was chosen and he was a Messenger and a prophet.”

But we should also note that in two verses Satan has also spoken.

Verse 39 of Surah Hijr and in verses 52-53 of Surah Saad Satan says: “I shall mislead them all except your chosen (and guided) slaves among them.”

And it is because of this sincerity and purity that Satan is unable to entice them and this tells us that all apostles are pure and sincere whether it is Moses or any other.

What is sincere purity? It is indeed a very lofty station. The scholars of both social sciences and enlightenment have laid a great stress on it. It tells them that only god is the absolute truth and none else. This is the fountainhead of God’s oneness. When a seeker turns to God with all sincerity he knows that everything excepting God is futile. His existence is dependent on the one who owns everything. He finally realizes all things except Him (God) are refutable and finite.

Indeed there are two stages in human social working that are connected with polytheism and egoism.

The First Stage.

Man feels that if he uses all his resources to harness his ego then he may be able to join the sincere and pure ones. This is attained only by the cleansing of the soul.

The Second Stage

The control over the inner ills by man and this is only through the benign help from God that he is able to join the sincere and pure ones. This station of purity is for the apostles and the Messenger and the especially chosen ones.
