| In these Quran verses, Allah highlights five characteristics of true believers. 2. The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts and when His Verses (this Quran) are recited unto them, they (i.e. the Verses) increase their Faith; and they put their trust in their Lord (Alone); 3. Who perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and spend out of that We have provided them. 4. It is they who are the believers in truth. For them are grades of dignity with their Lord, and Forgiveness and a generous provision (Paradise). Quran (Surah Al-Anfal, verses 2 – 4) It's clear from these verses that the qualities of a true Muslim mentioned in these verses are the following: 1. When Allah is mentioned, they feel the fear of Him in their hearts; As a Muslim, one can take heed from these verses and assess the state of his heart. In his tafsir, Ibn Kathir writes that none of Allah's remembrance enters the hearts of the hypocrites upon performing what He has ordained. They neither believe in any of Allah's Ayat nor trust (in Allah) nor pray if they are alone nor pay the Zakah due on their wealth. The primary point is that a true believer is one when Allah is mentioned, he feels a fear in his heart, and thus implements His orders and abstains from His prohibitions. About such people, Sufyan Ath-Thawri narrated that As-Suddi commented, "A man might be thinking of committing injustice or a sin. But he abstains when he is told, `Have Taqwa of Allah', and his heart becomes fearful." Finally, for such people Allah has promised 'grades of dignity', i.e. special places in paradise |
