Guidelines for Realizing Islam in Word and Deed

Question:
What are the guidelines through which a Muslim realizes that he is a Muslim in word and deed?

Answer:
The guidelines are that he learns the correct creed, and he learns and reads what Allah mentioned in the Qur'an regarding what has happened and is happening to nations, to the believers, and to the disbelievers. He also reads in history and biographies.
Through that, he acquires experiences and gains expertise, and he gains a comprehensive understanding of what has happened and is happening. He becomes steadfast in spirit and reassured that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is with him, that Allah will not let him be lost, and that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is with the patient and with the grateful. He looks at what happened to the intimate friend of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Ibrahim, in terms of trials, but he was patient with them, and the outcome was in his favor. He looks at what happened to the prophets, the messengers, and the believers, and he finds solace in that, and his heart is reassured. Yes.
