  • Do The Actions Of Person Effect His Faith (Eman)?

    Posted by Abdur Rahman on December 30, 2022 at 9:55 am

    As’salamualaykum,

    1. Do the actions are included in emaan or outside of emaan ?

    2. Do emaan increase with good deeds and decrease with sins ?

    3. Please define “Kanooni Emaan” and “Haqiqi Emaan” and whats the difference between them ?

    4. What does the below hadith mean i.e from the outward it means that only ending of a person matters to Allah and that too is dependent on Allah’s qadr

    Sahl ibn Sa’d reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, a man may appear to people as doing the deeds of the people of Paradise, yet he is among the people of Hellfire.

    Verily, a man may appear to people as doing the deeds of the people of Hellfire, yet he is among the people of Paradise.”

    In another narration, the Prophet said, “Verily, deeds are only judged by their endings.”

    Ilm o Hikmat has uncountable pearls from ghamidi sir. if the creators of these episodes start naming it after the topic discussed in english title and roman urdu title then it would reach maximum audience via google.

    Appreciate your reply Umer bhai.

    Please also clarify about the hadith in the question i.e 4th point of the question.

      The faith (or intent) of a person must meet his actions.

      First hadith is pointing to the fact that If the action is there but there is no true faith underneath, then such act is meaningless in the sight of Allah.

      Second Hadth is pointing to the fact that if faith is there but one’s actions do not support his faith, then such faith is also not acceptable in the sight of God.

      This all aligns with the overall scheme of tests and trials as instituted by Allah in this world i.e. ‘it is not a test of either knowledge (faith/belief) or action alone, rather it is a test of both‘ (‘ilm-o-amal’ dono ka imtehan).

      A person’s accept’s Allah qadr and totally submits to his will but wants to understand his faith with more clarity.

      https://sunnah.com/bukhari:3208 – How is it that the test result is already written before starting the test and written qadr takes over at the time of human being ending irrespective of deeds.

      OR

      Is this hadith (historical record) is a type of mutashabihaat and can’t be explained “with a how” and we have to stop here and say “Allah knows best”
