MasAllah, so beautiful.
May Allah grand us place in jennah,amen.
Loving you all for shake of Allah subhana wa taala.
Al-Aajuree said, ''So the actions - may Allah bless you - of the limbs affirm the belief of the heart and the tongue. So whoever's faith is not supported by actions; like the example of purification, prayer, charity , fasting, hajj, and jihaad and whatever else is similar to this; and while this individual is pleased with mere knowledge of an affair and professing it (without acting upon it). Then this person is not a believer and his knowledge and statements do not benefit him. His abandonment of actions is a nullifier of his belief and his performance of what we have mentioned would affirm for him his belief - and with Allah is the success.
