Faith

Knowledge completes the faith and there are two conditions of the faith.

1. Accept by declaration
2. Certify it with your Qalb. If both of these conditions are fulfilled then faith become complete otherwise it remains incomplete.

For example if a person accepts Allah and his messenger and accepts the Islamic prectices to be true and accurate but he does not declare it with his tongue nor he adopts the Islamic principles and we will not be calling him a Muslim but he will be called an infidel. For the mere fact that apparent actions and declarations are of the obligations of the faith. If these obligations are absent, then where is the faith?
If a person declares his faith and he follows its actions but he denies it within his heart, he will be called a Munafiq (hypocrite). The heart will not be able to verify without visualization instead it will criticise. For the completion of the faith visualization is very important Allah Almighty states in the Holy Quran, Abraham requested “Oh my Rab let me see how you bring the dead back to life” Allah commanded “but do you not have faith in me” “Abraham requested but I would like to satisfy my heart” (because it(heart) will not accept without visualistation).
Allah Almighty further said, “The same way I made Abraham May peace and blessing be upon him visualise my sovereignty of the heavens and earth so that it perfects his belief”.
For the above verse it should never be taken that perhaps Hazrat Abraham’s heart didn’t verify it so his faith was not complete. The reason Allah Almighty made Hazrat Abraham May blessing be upon him visualise Allah’s sovereignty of heaven and earth so that it perfects his belief and he could achieve the contentment of his heart. Thoughts of this kind are infidel. The prophets are the bearers of naf’s-e mut ma’ inna (own inspiring self) and they have perfect faith from the beginning. This above statement is for us to understand that without visualisation ones faith cannot be perfected nor will one gain satisfaction within the heart. However formal education and visual actions are the confession of practical faith and the witnessing of the divinity and spiritual activity is the certification of the heart. If one leaves out certification or the confession then his faith will not be complete and therefore if the faith is incomplete, than where is the prosperity and salvation?
