The Ruling on the Statement That Faith Is in the Heart
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah grant you success. Many people say that faith is in the heart, and most of them do not know the meaning of this. Are they in agreement with the Murji'ah?
Answer:
This is the statement of the Murji'ah. If there is faith in the heart, that appears in the limbs and deeds. For this reason, the Muslims say—may Allah have mercy on them—and al-Hasan al-Basri said—may Allah have mercy on him: "Faith is not mere adornment or mere claim, but rather what settles in the hearts and is confirmed by deeds." So if there are no deeds, that indicates that there is no faith in the heart. And if there are righteous deeds, that indicates that there is faith in the heart. Yes.
