Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
By the statement of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him), one affirms that Allah alone is the deity worthy of worship, and commits to worshipping Allah alone, with no partner for Him. In his phrase "commits to," is the intended meaning here commitment in the sense of belief only, or does it include the matter of action?
Answer:
Action means, he commits to action. It is not that he only believes and does not commit to action. Belief without action is of no benefit. Yes.
