A--- Allah, Yang Maha Kuasa berfirman: {Tetapi Allah menjadikan kamu cinta kepada iman dan menjadikan iman itu indah di dalam hati kamu}. (Al-Hujurat, 7)

A--- Allah, the Almighty says: {But Allah has endeared the Faith to you and has beautified it in your hearts}. (Al-Hujurat, 7)

Allah berfirman: {Maka berimanlah kepada Allah dan Rasul-Nya (Muhammad (Peace be upon him))}. (Al-A'raf, 158)

Allah says: {So believe in Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad (Peace be upon him))}. (Al-A'raf, 158)

Ini ialah maksud dua kalimah syahadat, yang tanpanya seseorang tidak boleh dianggap sebagai seorang Muslim. Selain itu, iman mesti dirasai di dalam hati dan diucapkan dengan lisan; agar ia berguna, kedua-duanya mesti berjalan seiring. Allah Yang Maha Kuasa berfirman: {Dan Allah tidak sekali-kali akan mensia-siakan iman kamu}. (Al-Baqarah, 143) iaitu solat-solat kamu yang dikerjakan menghadap Baitul Maqdis sebelum pertukaran kiblat (13).

This is the meaning of the two testimonies without which one cannot be regarded a Muslim. Moreover, Faith must be felt in the heart and expressed by word of mouth; for it to be useful, the two must go together. Allah, the Almighty says: {And Allah would never make your 'Faith' to be lost}. (Al-Baqarah, 143) i.e. your 'Prayers' offered towards Jerusalem before the conversion of the Qiblah (13).

Solat dinamakan Iman kerana pelaksanaannya melibatkan hati, ucapan lisan dan anggota badan.

Prayers are referred to as Faith because their performance involves the heart, words of mouth and limbs.

Nabi ﷺ mengisytiharkan bahawa antara tanda-tanda keimanan seseorang ialah: jihad, dan mendirikan solat pada malam Qadar (Kekuasaan).14

The Prophet (Peace be upon him) declared the following to be some of the proofs of one's Faith: Jihad, observing prayers during the Night of Qadr (Power)14

Puasa pada bulan Ramadan, solat pada waktu malam di bulan ini, dan menunaikan solat fardu lima waktu dengan sempurna.

, fasting during the month of Ramadan, praying at night during this month, and performing the five compulsory Prayers properly.

Lebih-lebih lagi, Nabi ﷺ pernah ditanya tentang amalan yang paling baik. Baginda bersabda: "Beriman kepada Allah dan Rasul-Nya".

Moreover, the Prophet (Peace be upon him) was once asked about the best of all deeds. He said: "To believe in Allah and His Messenger".
