The Weakness of Belief in Our Time- Its Aspects and How to Heal Them

Description

What is intended by belief is what the person believes in his heart, about which he is resolute, which he announces openly, acting with his members according to what this belief requires.

What is wanted by it is the belief of monotheism which is the basis of Islam, the basis of religion and on which all acts are based. It is therefore the basis of this religion. Through it deeds and words become correct, and this is the first of the pillars of faith and the first of the pillars of Islam. The first pillar of Islam is the attestation: “There is no god worthy of worship except Allah”, and the first pillar of faith is to believe in Allah. This is the first thing to which the messengers call, may Allah's praise and greetings be upon them, and their followers.

Every messenger says to his people [meaning of the verses], “O people, worship Allah, you have no other god worthy of worship except Him." [Al-A'raf:59].

The Most High said: “And We have not sent before you any Messenger to whom We have not revealed: There is no god but Me. Worship Me then.” [Al-Anbiya’: 25]

It is therefore the beginning and the basis that is considered to know if the acts are correct or null. If the belief is correct, based on the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messengerصلى الله عليه وسلم, all acts will be correct with it, if they are in accordance with the Sunnah of the Messengerصلى الله عليه وسلم.
