2) That the Muslim it is incumbent upon him that he should along with ensuring
the purity of his creed, he should do righteous deeds, teach this religion’s
orders and prohibitions.Allah said:
- By Al-'Asr (the time).
- Verily! Man is in loss,
- Except those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds,
and recommend one another to the truth (i.e. order one another to perform all kinds
of good deeds (Al-Ma'ruf)which Allah has ordained, and abstain from all kinds of
sins and evil deeds (Al-Munkar)which Allah has forbidden), and recommend one
another to patience (for the sufferings, harms, and injuries which one may
encounter in Allah's Cause during preaching His religion)
So it is clear that belief is twinned with acting upon righteousness and calling to
good and teaching it.
It also is important to note that if a group among the Muslims does not apply the
rules of Islam, Islam should not be look at negatively because of their shortcomings.
Islam should be judged according to its teachings and according to its real adherers.
3) That a person should not seek honor except in the religion of Islam.As if one sought honor from Islam Allah will honor him, as for if one sought honor in
other than Islam Allah will humiliate him.
A proof of this isthe Arabs of Arabia who were disparate, warring tribes, without
king, ruler, or chief, but after the arrival of this prophet, the Seal, Muhammad
(pbuh), Allah (Mighty & Majestic) brought their hearts together and united them
under the leadership of His prophet, Muhammad (pbuh) in whose message they
believed and had faith. Thus they became a great nation and the most honorable
people, extending north and south, east and west, by the Bounty and Victory of Allah
(Mighty & Majestic).
4) That a Muslim should only ally himself with the believers giving them victory
in truth and stopping them from any wrong doing, yet at the same time be
free from other then the Muslims without oppressing of harming them.5) A Muslim should give thanks to Allah for the greatest of blessing that He
bestowed upon us, Islam.And a thanks giving for Islam is by applying it, sticking to its teaching and ruling by
its laws.
