Description
About This Book:
According to the Prophet Muhammad:
"There are over 70 different aspects of faith." The ultimate is to say, 'There is no deity but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah' (l ilha illallhu Muhammadur raslullh). The most basic is to remove anything hazardous off the route. Being humble is an important aspect of religion."
The 'Seventy-Seven Branches of Faith' is a compilation of Quranic verses and Prophet Muhammad sayings compiled by Imam al-Bayhaqi about 458 A.H. In this work, he describes the essential characteristics of authentic faith (iman). These seventy-seven branches represent the key traits and actions that a true believer should possess or strive towards.
Complete faith consists of three parts:
- All the key aspects of faith must be believed in your heart.
- Saying these vital things out loud.
- Taking action on these critical issues.
As a result, the "77 Branches of Faith" are classified into three categories:
- The first category is concerned with what you think and how you act from your heart.
- The second group is concerned with what you say.
- The third category is concerned with what you do with your body.
