SHARIA IS PART OF FAITH




God says

“… there has come to you from God a light, and a clear divine writ (Quran), through which God shows unto all that seek His good pleasure the paths leading to salvation (spiritual peace and fulfillment) and, by His grace, brings them out of the depths of darkness into the light and guides them onto a straight way.” (Q.5:15)


Prophet said

“None of you can be a believer unless his ego-self
becomes desirous of (guidance) that I have brought”
--- H:Mishkat-ul-Masabih. N: Abdullah-b-Omer-b-al Aas.

Faith(Imaan) does not materialize till one sincerely accepts the instructions of Sharia – what is enjoined and what is forbidden -- which the Prophet has conveyed to us through the Qur’an and the Sunnah and until one’s ego-self is thoroughly disciplined to become desirous of the same.

Section 4 begins by His grace, with a few short chapters of the Qur’an followed by some verses, showing through Prophet’s Traditions, their special significance:
high-rewards-with-least effort when practiced with understanding.
