[Q.2]: HOW IS
THE ‘AQEEDAH CONNECTED TO THE DAY TO DAY LIFE OF THE MUSLIM AND HIS
ACTIONS?
[A.2]: “As I have
explained, when the ‘aqeedah is correct, the deeds will become righteous,
because the correct ‘aqeedah directs the Muslim to do righteous deeds, and it
directs him towards goodness and praiseworthy actions. This is because when he
testifies that there is no deity worthy of worship besides Allaah, it is a
testification built upon knowledge and yaqeen (certainty of faith), and
recognition of its meaning. It directs him to righteous deeds, because the
testification that there is no deity worthy of worship besides Allaah is not
merely a statement uttered upon the tongue. Rather, it is an open proclamation
of belief and action, and this testification will not be correct, nor
beneficial, until it is followed by righteous deeds. So carrying out the
pillars of eemaan (faith), and whatever is an increase upon that from the
commandments of the Religion and its duties, and the sum total of its
supererogatory deeds.”
