Description:
A Muslim's life is concisely described as follows in the Qur'an: "Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are (all) for Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds." (Surah al-Anaam: 162) Muslim is actually the name Allah gives to those who adhere to His religion. The basic attribute, referred to in the Qur’an that distinguishes Muslims from other people is their awareness of Allah's infinite might. Livening for the cause of Allah and strive to earn the good pleasure of Allah, arranging their lives according to His Will. Grasping Allah's might is not only a matter of verbal confirmation. Believers are those who recognize Allah's existence and His greatness, "are steadfast in their duty" to Him and re-orient all their deeds and conduct in the light of this reality which has become apparent to them and who they must abandon all the idols of the society of ignorance Devoted to Allah is a summons to overthrow these idols for good. This book provides an explicit picture of a believer devoted to Allah as described in the Qur’an. It must be I remembered that Paradise is the abode of those who "believe with certainty" in Allah and the hereafter and then "strive with all due striving" in the way of Allah. A Muslim is a Muslim because he seeks Allah's approval. This is the most important trait that makes a Muslim different from all other people. Muslims see religion as a way to earn Allah's approval, whereas the majority of people consider it to be a system of beliefs which occupies an insignificant portion of their lives. Indeed, at this very point there emerges the distinction between real Muslims and those who imitate them (hypocrites). Muslims embrace religion as a path of guidance to the approval of Allah. For hypocrites, however, it is something from which they derive benefits. That is why a hypocrite's prayers are of a "pretentious" nature (Surah al-Ma'un: 6) while Muslims pray in humility (Surah al-Mu'minun: 1-2). Similarly, while Muslims spend their money in Allah's cause, hypocrites spend to impress people rather than to earn Allah's approval. You who believe! Do not nullify your almsgiving by demands for gratitude or insulting words, like him who spends his wealth, showing off to people and not having faith in Allah and the Last Day. He is like a smooth rock coated with soil, which, when heavy rain falls on it, is left stripped bare. They shall have no power over anything they have earned. Allah does not guide the unbelievers. (Surah al-Baqara: 264)
