THE TREE OF FAITH – Book Sample

Author’s Introduction – THE TREE OF FAITH

All praise and thanks are due to Allah Who planted the tree of faith in the hearts of his chosen servants; Who watered it and nourished it with beneficial knowledge, truthful cognizance and dedication to His remembrance night and day; Who made it to give forth its fruits and blessings unremittingly and assiduously – the fruits and blessings of goodness and abundant, fulsome grace.

I testify that none has the right to be worshipped save Allah Alone, the One, the Compeller, the Kind, the Most Merciful, the All Forgiving. I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, the Chosen and Preferred.

0 Allah send peace and blessings upon Muhammad, upon his family and righteous, elect Companions.

The subject of this book is faith (lman) which is the most important topic of this religion and the greatest principle of truth and certainty. the content] is derived entirely from the Noble Book of Allah, which analyses these principles completely, and from the Sunnah of His Prophet, Muhammad (?), which conforms to the Book and serves to further explain it: giving detail to its general and unrestricted statements.

Allah, the Exalted says,

Do you not see how Allah sets forth a metaphor of a good word: a good tree whose roots are firm and whose branches are in the sky? It bears fruit all the time by its Lord’s permission. Allah sets forth metaphors for people so that hopefully they will pay heed. ((Surah Ibrahim (I 4); 24-25))

Allah has likened the statement of faith, which 1s the best of statements, with a tree that is the best of trees bearing these noble characteristics. Its roots are firm, it is always growing and maturing, and it bears fruit all the time: directing its numerous benefits and delectable fruits to its owner and others.

This tree varies greatly in the hearts of the believers, changing in accordance to the variation of the qualities that Allah has described it with. Therefore, it is upon the servant to hasten towards acquiring knowledge about it, its descriptions, that which leads to its existence and potency, its roots, and its branches. It is upon him to expend his efforts in actualizing this tree in terms of knowledge and action for indeed his portion of goodness and success, happiness in this life and the Hereafter, is dependent upon the extent to which this tree [is implanted in his heart].

The Definition of Faith

The definition and explanation of things serves to clarify and simplify them. Indeed, giving a ruling on something can only come about after having correctly conceptualized it. Whoever gives a ruling on something before having understood and conceptualized it such that he can distinguish it, will make serious errors.

As for the definition of faith, it is the firm belief, complete acknowledgement and acceptance of all that Allah and His Messenger have commanded to have faith in, submitting to it both inwardly and outwardly. It is the acceptance and belief of the heart that includes the actions of the heart and body, therefore it encompasses the establishment of the whole religion.

This is why the Imams and Salaf used to say,

Faith is the statement of the heart and tongue; action of the heart, tongue, and limbs.

Hence it comprises statement, action, and belief. It increases through obedience and decreases through disobedience. It includes the beliefs of faith, its morals and manners, and the actions demanded by it.

Affirming, believing in, and acknowledging the Beautiful Names of Allah, His Perfect and Lofty Attributes, and His actions that ensue from His Names and Attributes is from the greatest of the principles of faith. Similarly acknowledging the rights that are due to Allah – taking Him as god and worshipping Him both outwardly and inwardly is from the principles of faith. Acknowledging everything that Allah informed of concerning His angels and forces, of what has happened and is to happen, and the narrative concerning the Last Day is from the principles of faith. Having faith in all the Messengers (?), in all their praiseworthy descriptions and characteristics given of them in the Book and Sunnah is from the principles of faith. From the greatest principles of faith is to believe in the Oneness of Allah completely and in only His deserving worship, worshipping Him alone without associating any partners with Him, making the religion sincerely for Allah and establishing the outward laws of lslam and its inward realities.

All of the above form the foundations of faith.

This is why the outcome of faith is the entry into Paradise and security from the Fire, His pleasure, success and happiness.

But this outcome cannot come about except by including all we have mentioned above comprising the articles of belief and the
