Machine translationRead the Arabic original
His Eminence the Shaykh: The phrase "the speech of the heart and the action of the heart" is repeated in the words of the scholars. What is the difference between them? And what are their characteristics?
The scholars say: Faith is speech and action: the speech of the heart and the tongue, and the action of the heart and the limbs.And some of them say: The action of the heart, the tongue, and the limbs.
The Difference Between the Speech of the Heart and Its Action: So the speech of the heart is its affirmation and its belief in a matter.And Its Action: Its movement in the sense of love, fear, hope, and the like is not called the speech of the heart; rather, it is called the action of the heart. However, belief in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, and the Last Day is called the speech of the heart. This is the difference between the speech of the heart and the action of the heart.
