Another one of the innovations of the Murji’ah
is that they negate the acts of worship that the heart performs to be a part of
al-Emaan. Acts of worship of the heart include the likes of loving and hating
for the sake of Allaah, hope and fear etc.
The texts of the Sharee’ah outright refute
this notion. The following are examples of acts of worship that occur in the
heart, such as love and shyness.
It has
been narrated in the Saheeh on the authority of Anas bin Maalik that the
Prophet said, “None of you truly believe until you love for your brother what
you love for yourself.[1]”
There is also another narration similar to this
with the wording, “None of you truly believe until I (i.e. the Prophet) become
more beloved to you more than your parents, your children and all of mankind
combined[2].”
Another Hadeeth, “Three traits, whoever has
them will experience the sweetness of al-Emaan; that Allaah and His Messenger
is more beloved to them above anything else, that one loves another person only
for the sake of Allaah and that one hates to return to disbelief just as one hates to be flung in the fire.[3]”
In another Hadeeth, “A sign of ones Emaan is
that he loves the Ansaar (the group of Companions who originated from
al-Madeenah) and a sign of a person’s hypocrisy is that they hate the Ansaar.[4]”
Ibn ‘Umar also narrated that the Prophet said,
“Shyness is part of al-Emaan.[5]”
Ibn ‘Abbaas narrated that the Prophet said,
“Tasting the flavour of al-Emaan is when one is pleased with Allaah as their
Lord, Islaam as their religion and Muhammad as their Prophet.[6]”
