What is the creed of the Murji'ah compared to the creed of the people of the Sunnah and the community?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner is asking about the creed of the Murji'ah compared to the creed of the people of the Sunnah and the community? The people of the Sunnah and the community hold that...

Answer:
And the creed of the people of the Sunnah and the community. Knowing it. And what they are here is knowledge. In the lessons. The scholarly lessons in the institutes and in the circles of dhikr where the scholarly texts are studied and explained. But there is no harm if we answer with a brief response. The school of the Murji'ah is that they say that deeds do not enter into the definition of faith. So a person is a believer if he believes in his heart and speaks with his tongue, even if he does not do any deed, even if he abandons the prayer, even if he abandons the zakah, even if he abandons fasting, even if he abandons Hajj. In their view, he is a believer, and they know this. And this is a false, false, false statement. Correct. Because there is no faith except with righteous deeds. The one who abandons the obligatory acts intentionally is not a believer, even if he believes in his heart and speaks with his tongue about the Hereafter, as Allah the Exalted said. Except if he is excused. . If he is excused from abandoning some of the obligatory acts, there is no harm. If he is excused. But if he is able and abandons the obligatory acts intentionally and says, "I am a believer even if I do not pray," this is a liar and not a believer. And this is a false statement. Yes.
