Faith and noble deeds
Q. What is Iman (faith)?
Ans. Iman (faith) means believing in:
(i) Allah,
(ii) All His Attributes,
(iii) Angels,
(iv) Divine Books,
(v) Prophets,
(vi) Veracity of the things brought by the Holy Prophet of
Allah, and
(vii) Affirmation in words of all the above things. This
affirmation or affirmation is the essence of Iman. But the condition for

it in words.

Q. What do we mean by noble works?
Ans. All the ways of worship and good practices that Allah
and His Messengers have taught us should be taken as noble acts.
Q. Are the modes of worship and noble actions also part
of the faith?
Ans. Yes, faith in its entirety includes noble actions.
These noble acts give light and perfection to the Faith itself, which remains
incomplete without them.
Q. What do we mean by worship?
Ans. To adore means to offer one's servitude. The one who
offers servitude is a worshiper half of whom is served is the object of
worship. There is only one Being worthy of adoration for all of us. It is Allah
who created us and the universe. We are all His servants. He has commanded us
to worship him. It is, therefore, our duty to offer our cults.
Q. What sections of Allah's creation have you been
ordained to worship?
Ans. Human beings and Jennies have been ordered to offer
their services. These two are known as mukallaf (responders). The angels and
the rest of the animate creatures are not responsible for the worship of Allah.
Q. Who are Jenny?
Ans. The Jenny are also among the main creations of Allah.
They are made of fire. Their bodies are so thin that they are invisible. But
they become visible if they choose to take the form of man or animal. God has
invested them with power to assume the form of an animal or a human being. Both
are male and female. They procreate too.
Q. What is the correct form of worship?
Ans. Worship can take several forms, such as:
(i) Saying Salat,
(ii) Fasting,
(iii) Give alms,
(iv) Perform Hajj,
(v) Offering sacrifices,
(vi) Retire to the mosques in I'tikaf,
(vii) Encourage people to do it well,
(viii) forbidding them to do evil,
(ix) Give respect and consideration to one's parents,
teachers and elders,
(x) Establish schools,
(xii) Study religion,
(xii) Impart religious knowledge and education to others,
(xiv) Helping those who would study religion,
(xv) Fighting the enemies of Allah for the good of Allah,
(xvi) In response to the needs of the poor,
(xvii) Feeding the hungry,
(xviii) Extinguish the thirst of the thirsty.
Do other acts that Allah commands and approves also fall
within the precincts of worship. These same acts and practices are known as
"noble deeds".
