EEMAAN SHOULD PRODUCE RIGHTEOUS ACTIONS

Bismillāh.

It is important to always remember that Eemaan is not merely something we claim with our tongues or keep in our hearts. Genuine Eemaan should be reflected in our actions and character. The Qur’an repeatedly connects Eemaan with righteous deeds.

ALLAH Azzawajal says:

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ

“Indeed, those who believe and do righteous deeds…”

This expression appears repeatedly throughout the Qur’an, showing the close connection between belief and righteous action.

ALLAH Azzawajal says:

وَالْعَصْرِ ۝ إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ ۝ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ

“By time! Indeed, mankind is in loss, except those who believe, do righteous deeds, encourage one another to truth, and encourage one another to patience.”

(Qur’an 103:1–3)

Notice that ALLAH Azzawajal mentions not only Eemaan, but also righteous deeds, followed by encouraging one another towards truth and patience.

What does this teach us?

If we truly believe that ALLAH Azzawajal is watching us, that there is an Hereafter, that we will stand before ALLAH, that Jannah and Jahannam are real, and that Muhammad ﷺ is the Messenger of ALLAH, then this belief should influence the way we live.

Our Eemaan should be visible in our daily lives—in our Ṣalāh, our honesty, our patience, our charity, our treatment of our parents, our kindness towards others, and our avoidance of sins.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Eemaan wears out in your heart just as a garment wears out, so ask ALLAH to renew Eemaan in your hearts.”

This is a powerful reminder that our Eemaan requires constant care and renewal. We should continually ask ALLAH to strengthen our Eemaan and help us translate our belief into righteous actions.

To be continued tomorrow, In shā ALLAH.

May ALLAH Azzawajal strengthen our Eemaan, guide us to righteous deeds, protect us from the whispers and influence of Shaytaan, and keep us steadfast upon the truth until we meet Him.

Aameen.
