Confession And Actions Of The Heart

It is believed that the foundation or the root of Iman is in the heart. This has been supported by a large number of verses from the Qur’an and several Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The following examples are provided to illustrate this point. Allah said, ‘Whoever disbelieved in Allah after his belief, except him who is forced thereto and whose heart is at rest with faith, but such as opens their breasts to disbelief on them is wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a great torment.’ (Surah An-Nahl: 106)

In the above Ayah, Allah has considered the actions of the heart as the distinctive point between disbelief and Iman (Faith). Again, Allah said, ‘O Messenger (Muhammad (peace be upon him))! Let not those who hurry to fall into disbelief grieve you, of whom those who say, “We believe” with their mouths, but their hearts have no faith (Surah Al-Ma’idah: 41).

In the above Ayat, belief is made in the heart. Allah stresses the fact that if He seals one’s heart, he is a great loser.

Al-Numan bin Bashir (radi Allahu anhu) narrated: “I heard Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) saying, ‘Both legal and illegal things are evident, but between them there are doubtful (unclear) things, and most of the people have no

Misappropriating Spoils Of War, Muslim Funds Or Zakat

Allah Most High says, {And if you, O Prophet, see signs of betrayal by a people, respond by openly terminating your treaty with them. Surely Allah does not like those who betray.} (8:58)
He says too, {No Prophet could ever act dishonestly. If any person acts dishonestly, he shall, on the Day of Judgement, restore what he misappropriated, then shall every soul receive its due whatever it earned.} (2:161)

Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) mentioning Ghulul, emphasizing its magnitude, and declaring that it was a grave sin, saying, “Do not commit Ghalul, for I would not like to see anyone

At-Takathur, (Worldly Gain)

The surah is addressed to the idol-worshipers and, conceivably, everyone infatuated by worldly goods, who pays no attention to the life hereafter. These people are driven by greed, live for the moment, and devote all their energies and resources to material comfort and enjoyment. Their whole life is a struggle for the accumulation of wealth, until they are laid to rest in their graves.

However, they seem to overlook the fact that the grave is but a temporary abode, a mere bridge to another life of accountability, judgment, and punishment or reward. Elsewhere in the Qur’an, we read: “The trumpet will be blown

Miracles Of The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam): Predictions Of The Holy Quran

One of the predictions mentioned by the Holy Quran is that some of the Muslims will apostatise after the death of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him). Then, those apostates will be uprooted by those Muslims who love Allah and whom Allah loves and holds as friends. Such Muslims are humble towards the Muslims and staunch towards the pagans. They are to fight in the way of Allah for raising high the command of Allah, and they are to continue their Jihad or Holy war with their effort and exertion without fear of the censure of the censurers. Thus, the events

The Basic Concepts Of Iman (Faith)

Our highest spiritual aspiration should be the hope of meeting Allah and attaining His Pleasure. To uphold such a hope, we have to have strong faith and submit our wills to Allah. Only those are faithful who have believed in Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him) and have never since doubted. This is indicated in Allah’s words: “Only those are the believers who have believed in Allah and His Messenger, and afterward doubt not but strive with their wealth and their lives for the Cause of Allah. Those! They are truthful.” (Surah Al-Hujurat 15)

Faith, which should stem from our hearts and minds, requires absolute obedience to Allah and entire submission of our being to Him. This is what we have to prove if Faith has any meaning to us. The Qur’an has informed us about
