Hazrat Moulana Muhammad Ilyaas (rahmatullahi \u2018alaih) once mentioned:<\/p>\n

The principle in regard to one\u2019s Islamic beliefs is that one should make a concerted effort to strengthen his Islamic beliefs, and he should not entertain stray thoughts, thereby allowing them to affect his Islamic beliefs. Thereafter (i.e. after believing in all the tenets of faith correctly), one should still have the concern and worry in his heart as to whether he has acquired the desired level of yaqeen (conviction) in his beliefs or not.<\/p>\n

Hazrat Moulana Muhammad Ilyaas (rahmatullahi \u2018alaih) then said, \u201cThe statement of Hazrat Ibnu Abi Mulaikah (rahimahullah) recorded in Saheeh Bukhaari shareef refers to this very same level of imaan and yaqeen when he said:<\/p>\n

\u0644\u0642\u064a\u062a \u062b\u0644\u0627\u062b\u064a\u0646 \u0645\u0646 \u0623\u0635\u062d\u0627\u0628 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0628\u064a \u0635\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0633\u0644\u0645 \u0643\u0644\u0647\u0645 \u064a\u062e\u0634\u0649 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0646\u0641\u0633\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0641\u0627\u0642<\/p>\n

I had met thirty of the companions of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) (i.e. the Sahaabah [radhiyallahu \u2018anhum]), and each one of them feared hypocrisy over himself.<\/em><\/p>\n

(In other words, each Sahaabi feared that the level of his imaan has not reached the highest levels of perfection, and therefore he expressed concern of nifaaq.)<\/p>\n

Hazrat Moulana Muhammad Ilyaas (rahmatullahi \u2018alaih) thereafter mentioned:<\/p>\n

Strengthening one\u2019s imaan and conviction is also necessary so that whenever one hears the words of Allah Ta\u2018ala and Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam), then one\u2019s heart will immediately receive these words with great honour, respect and reverence.<\/p>\n

In this case (when one receives the word of Allah Ta\u2018ala and Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) with firm conviction), then it will be easy for one to practise upon the commandments of Allah Ta\u2018ala and Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) (as one\u2019s imaan will motivate him to do so), and there will be life in one\u2019s actions as well (due to one\u2019s imaani level being high).<\/p>\n
