Some have argued that the differnece between
the Murji'ah al-Fuqahaah and the school of Ahl as-Sunnah is only semantics,
because Ahl as-Sunnah define actions and statements as being a part of
al-Emaan, whereas the Murji'ah al-Fuqahaah state that there is a relationship between
actions and al-Emaan. Plus, the beliefs of the Murji'ah al-Fuqahaah are not as
bad as the contemporary Murji'ah because the Murji'ah do not pronounce Takfeer
upon anyone based on their action alone, whereas the Murji'ah al-Fuqahaah state
that a cease in actions necessitates a cease in al-Emaan.
Despite this argument of some, the correct
stance is that the school of thought of the Murji'ah al-Fuqahaah also contradicts
the texts presented above. This is purely because the texts illustrate that
al-Emaan and actions are physically connected, whereas the mistake the the
Murji'ah al-Fuqahaah make is that they decrease the connection to it being a
mere relationship. This fine difference is in fact crucial and from it stem many
differences of opinion.
