The ruling on entering Paradise for one who says "There is no god but Allah" but does not perform deeds
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Does the hadith on the card indicate that one who says[As-Saffat 37:35] enters Paradise even if he does not perform any righteous deed?
Answer:
If he is unable to perform deeds, and he says it believing in it and being certain of it, but is unable to perform deeds because he is killed or dies before he is able to, he enters Paradise. But if he leaves off deeds by his own choice and does not perform them, then he is not a believer, because "There is no god but Allah" is not merely a verbal statement; it has implications, it has meaning, it has implications, and it has a signification. Yes.
