Does the Salafi creed have an effect on the person, or is it merely philosophical answers?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Does this mean that the Salafi creed has a practical impact on a person, or is it merely philosophical issues? What does a person benefit from knowing that Allah is in the sky?

The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest! This is His answer, just as we began our discussion.
Who believe in the unseen الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:3]
When our Lord - Mighty and Majestic - tasked His servants with believing in what does not fall within the scope of the rulings of the Shari'ah, what did He intend by it? He intended, without a doubt, that they worship Him and that each of them submit to the ruling of Allah and believe in it. What is this philosophy? There is no philosophy! All the verses and hadiths that pertain to belief in the signs of the Hour - for example - and to Paradise and the Fire, what is the result that the Muslim obtains when he believes in these unseen matters? Without a doubt, the result is that the believer's faith increases, and if his faith increases, this faith drives him to act upon what came in the Book and the Sunnah. But if he does not have belief in the unseen, his faith is like the faith of the materialists who do not act upon anything unless they are convinced within the limits of their materialism. Therefore, belief in the unseen is not a philosophical issue, and whoever says that this is a philosophical issue means that he denies the Qur'an, denying many of the verses that explicitly mention the unseen and describe Allah - Mighty and Majestic - as being alone - also - in the attribute of the unseen.
