Are we True Muslims

[abjad]

Brother in Islam!
Who are true Muslims?
Let us see what Allah and his Messenger have to say about their lives and hearts:
Say: My prayers and my sacrifices, and my living and my dying are for God alone, the Lord of all the worlds. No partner has He. Thus I have been commanded, and I am foremost among those who surrender [themselves unto him] (al-An’ am 6: 163-4).



The same theme is elucidated by the Prophet, blessings and peace is on him:

One who loves for the sake of Allah alone and hates for the sake of Allah alone; and whatever he gives, gives for the sake of Allah alone, and whatever he with holds, withholds for the sake of Allah alone indeed, he perfects his Iman (Adu Daud).

(You may Join the chain of ahadith or Ayats of the Koran)relating to the above subject etc.

Please.

The Qur’an makes clear what Allah demands of you.
You should live for Him alone;
you should die for Him alone.
You, and the world around you, entirely belong to Allah; let nobody have a share in what belongs to Allah. That is to say, you should not server anyone but him, nor live or die for anyone but Him.

​

The Prophet! Blessings and peace be on him, explains what the Qur’an has said. To be true believers you love and enmity for everything, all your affections, all relations and transactions in your lives, should have only one purpose: to seek Allah’s pleasure without this your Iman itself will not be complete; the possibility of rising higher in the sight of God does not arise. The greater the deficiency in this respect, the more defective the Iman.


​

Some people think that these qualities are required only to reach higher spiritual stations and are not essentials to Iman and Islam. In the other words, even without these qualities a person can be a good Mumin and a Muslim.

This mistaken notion has arisen because people in general do not differentiate between legal Islam and true Islam which alone is truly authentic in the sight of Allah.
