Belief and Islam

the fire of Hell as much as he deserves on account of his sin. A
person who does not learn the farzes or does not attach
importance to them although he may know them, and who
neglects them without feeling any scruples or any fear of Allâhu
ta’âlâ, will go out of Islam and become an unbeliever. He will be
subjected to the fire of Hell eternally. This rule applies also to
committing harâms.
“If a person does not acquire the information pertaining to a
certain act of worship and therefore is unaware of the conditions
stipulated for its being sound, the worship he has performed will
not be sahîh (valid), although he may have done it with ikhlâs. He
will be subjected to Hell’s fire as if he had not performed that
worship at all. Worship performed by a person who knows the
conditions stipulated and satisfies them will be sahîh and it will
save him from Hell. However, if he has not done it with ikhlâs, his
worship will not be accepted, and his no other good deeds, either.
He will not earn any thawâb (rewards in the Hereafter) for them.
Allâhu ta’âlâ declares that He will not be pleased with that
worship of his or his other good and charitable acts. Worship
performed without ’ilm and ikhlâs will be no good. It will not
protect the worshipper against unbelief, sinfulness, and torment.
Quite a number of lifelong hypocritical worshippers have been
witnessed to die as unbelievers. Worship performed with ’ilm and
ikhlâs will protect the worshipper against unbelief and sinfulness
and make him ’azîz (highly esteemed) in the world. As for his life
in the Hereafter, Allâhu ta’âlâ promises in the ninth âyat-i-kerîma
of Mâida Sûra and also in Wa-l-’asr Sûra that He shall save him
from torment in Hell. Allâhu ta’âlâ is true to His promises. He
always keeps His promises.”]
Allâhu ta’âlâ takes His vengeance also through His slave.
To those without ’ilm-i-ladunnî it’s been done by the slave.
All things belong to the Creator wrought through the slave.
Not a straw will move without divine drive.
