Description
In Islam, iman means believing that Rasulullah (sall-Allahu Taala alaihi wa salam) is the Prophet sent by Allahu Taala; knowing to be the truth and saying with belief that he is the Nabi, the Messenger chosen by Allahu Taala, believing in brief what he conveyed briefly and in detail what he conveyed in detail from Allahu Taala, and saying the Kalimat ash-shahada with the mouth whenever possible. Strong iman is such that, as we know for certain that fire burns and serpents kill by poisoning and so try to avoid them, we should believe in Allahu Taala and His Attributes deeming them great, fully at heart, strive for His approval (rida), run to His beauty (jamal), escape from His wrath (ghadab) and torment (adhab), and place iman on the heart firmly like an inscription on marble.
