| They know that whatever He wills, occurs and that whatever He does not will never occurs, that He alone is the One Who has the decision in His kingdom, without partners; none can avert the decision of Allah and He is swift in reckoning | |
|---|---|
| A man's faith grows as he is able to confirm and submit to the command of God which he comes across |
The quality of a true believer is that when Allah is mentioned, he feels a fear in his heart, and thus implements His orders and abstains from His prohibitions.
13| They neither believe in any of Allah's Ayat nor trust in Allah nor pray if they are alone nor pay the Zakah due on their wealth | |
|---|---|
| For both belief and unbelief, are capable of growth and decline | Therefore, the believers hope in none except Allah, direct their dedication to Him alone, seek refuge with Him alone, invoke Him alone for their various needs and supplicate to Him alone |
In this respect the determination of who is a believer and who is not will depend on the basic minimum of belief regardless of quality of belief.
10| Allah stated that they are not believers | Melayu - Basmeih : Sesungguhnya orangorang yang beriman itu yang sempurna imannya ialah mereka yang apabila disebut nama Allah dan sifatsifatNya gementarlah hati mereka; dan apabila dibacakan kepada mereka ayatayatNya menjadikan mereka bertambah iman dan kepada Tuhan mereka jualah mereka berserah• Nor is every, act of belief, or unbelief, of the same quality |
|---|---|
| Likewise, all unbelievers - regardless of the differences in the quality of their unbelief - will be placed in the category of unbelievers disregarding the question whether their unbelief is of an ordinary quality or an extremely serious one | 9:124 Al-Bukhari and other scholars relied on this Ayah 8:2 and those similar, as evidence that faith increases and varies in strength from heart to heart |
This is especially so where he submits to commands which go against his own personal predilections.
