Who are those whom Allah will bring out of the Fire, though they never did any good?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), then Allah will bring out Who are they? Are they those who do not pray? And is the one who does not pray considered a disbeliever? How can he say this?

Answer:
Deliberately abandoning deeds while one is capable of them, and deliberately abandoning prayer and deeds, and saying, "My faith in my heart is sufficient," makes one a disbeliever, and his believing with his heart does not benefit him. The disbelievers were like that; they believed with their hearts, but they did not submit with their limbs. Faith in the heart is not sufficient; action is necessary. Those whom Allah brings out of the Fire without any action are those who embraced Islam and died immediately, without having the opportunity to act. They embraced Islam and then died or were killed before the opportunity to perform deeds passed. As for the one who has the opportunity to act but abandons it while capable, and says, "Action is not obligatory," he is a disbeliever.
