Iman
(Faith)
According to Quran and Sunnah
What it is
Hadith - Sahih Al-Bukhari 1.47, Narrated Abu Huraira
One day while the Prophet was sitting in the
company of some people, (The angel) Gabriel came and asked, "What is faith?"
Allah's Apostle
replied, "Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels,
(the) meeting with Him, His Apostles, and to believe in Resurrection."
Then he further asked, "What is Islam?" Allah's Apostle replied,
"To worship Allah Alone and none else, to offer prayers
perfectly to pay the compulsory charity (Zakat) and to observe fasts during
the month of Ramadan." Then he further asked, "What is Ihsan
(perfection)?" Allah's Apostle replied, "To worship
Allah as if you see Him, and if you cannot achieve this state of devotion
then you must consider that He is looking at you."...
Hadith - Al-Tirmidhi, Narrated Abu
Umamah, r.a.
[Transmitted
by Ahmad]
A person asked Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him): What is faith? He said: When a good deed becomes a source of pleasure for you and an evil deed becomes a source of disgust for you, then you are a believer. He again said Allah's Messenger: What is a sin? Whereupon he said: When something pricks your conscience, give it up.
