Murji Principle: The Negation of Emaan Based on an Act of Kufr [Part 35]

From the innovations of the Murji’ah is that they do not include righteous deeds or acts of Kufr into the definition of al-Emaan. This is clearly rejected from the texts of the Sharee’ah which explicitly state that the dwellers of Jannah will enter it due to their actions.

Allaah, the Most High, Said:

 This is the Paradise which you have been made to inherit because of your deeds which you used to do.” [az-Zukhruf 43: 72]

Allaah, the Most High, Said:

"This is the Paradise which you have inherited for what you used to do."” [al-A’raaf 7: 43]

Allaah, the Most High, Said:

Such shall be the dwellers of Paradise, abiding therein (forever), a reward for what they used to do” [al-Ahqaaf 46: 14]

Likewise, Kufr leads to the fire.

Allaah, the Most High, Said:

O you who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allah)! Make no excuses this Day! You are being requited only for what you used to d” [at-Tahreem 66: 7]

And,

Then taste you (the torment of the Fire) because of your forgetting the Meeting of this Day of yours, (and) surely! We too will forget you, so taste you the abiding torment for what you used to do” [as-Sajdah 32: 14]

From the most explicit statements in this regard, that actions are included in the term al-Emaan, is the Hadeeth of Aboo Hurayrah in which he narrated that the Prophet said when asked about which good deed was the best, “To believe in Allaah and His Messenger.[1]

Here is clear proof that the questioner asked about an action and the Prophet answered with belief.  In conclusion, actions are included into the definition of al-Emaan.
