The Highest Ranks of Religion in Islam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may He benefit you through you. This questioner says: What is the highest and most exalted rank in Islam that a Muslim can reach? May Allah bless you.
Answer:
Religion has three ranks. The first is Islam, then faith, which is higher than Islam, then excellence in worship, which is higher than faith. So the highest is excellence in worship, which is that you worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you do not see Him, then He sees you. This is excellence in worship, and it is the highest rank of religion. Islam includes the hypocrite, and it includes the ignorant person, and it includes Islam because it is broader. As for faith, only the one who is truthful with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) enters into it. Yes.
