Rasűlullâh (
)
said: Thereare over 70 things which are connected with îmân (true belief),
the highest of which is the Kalimah
‘La ilaha illallâhu muhammadur Rasulullah’ and the lowest is the removal
of a harmful object from the road. And modesty (hayâ) is also a major
part of îmân.” [Agreed upon]
We learn from this that there are many things connected to îmân and a complete Muslim will be one who possesses all these qualities. And the îmân of the person who has certain qualities and does not have the rest will be incomplete. We all know that it is necessary to be complete Muslims. It is therefore necessary on each person to try and acquire these qualities and that he should not allow himself to be devoid of any of them.
