I read a news article a while ago, which I wanted to briefly discuss. It reported on the faith of some people and their claims that their belief and obedience to their God is in their heart and they therefore do not need to demonstrate it practically. Unfortunately, this foolish mentality has infected many muslims who believe they possess a pure faithful heart even though they fail to fulfil the obligatory duties of Islam, something which is easily doable as Allah, the Exalted, does not charge a person with a responsibility they cannot fulfil. Chapter 2 Al Baqarah, verse 286:
“Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity…”
The Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, has clearly declared in a Hadith found in Sunan Ibn Majah, number 3984, that when one’s spiritual heart is pure, the body becomes pure, which means their actions become correct. But if one’s spiritual heart is corrupt, the body becomes corrupt, which means their actions will be corrupt and incorrect. Therefore, the one who does not obey Allah, the Exalted, by fulfilling their duties practically can never have a pure spiritual heart.
In addition, disbelief can be a literal rejecting of Islam or through actions, which involves disobeying Allah, the Exalted, even though one believes in Him. This can be clearly understood by an example. If an unaware person is warned by another of an approaching lion and the unaware person takes practical steps to obtain safety, they will be considered someone who believed in the warning given to them, as they adapted their behaviour based on the warning. Whereas, if the unaware person does not practically change their behaviour after being warned, people will suspect that they do not believe in the warning given to them, even if the unaware person verbally claims belief in the warning given to them.
Finally, demonstrating one’s faith in Allah, the Exalted, practically is their proof and evidence which is required on Judgment Day in order to be granted Paradise. A proof, Allah, the Exalted, has commanded one to obtain. Not having this practical evidence is as silly as a student who hands back a blank exam paper to their teacher claiming their knowledge is in their mind so they therefore do not need to write it down by answering the exam questions. The same way this student would undoubtedly fail, so will a person who reaches Judgment Day without the obedience of Allah, the Exalted, in the form of fulfilling His commands, refraining from His prohibitions and by facing destiny with patience according to the traditions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, even if they possess faith in their heart.
