Kama ulivyokwishajua awali, imani inajumuisha kauli na matendo:

A--- You knew earlier that belief comprises an utterance and deeds:

kutamka kwa moyo na ulimi, na matendo ya moyo, ulimi na viungo.

uttering of the heart and tongue, and deeds of the heart, tongue and organs.

Kutamka kwa moyo ni kuthibitisha imani ya mtu. Na kutamka kwa ulimi ni kutamka Shahada mbili. Vitendo vya moyo ni nia na ikhlasi. Vitendo vya viungo vinajumuisha vitendo vyote vya utii.

The utterance of the heart is to affirm one's belief. And, the utterance of the tongue is to say the Two Testimonies. Deeds of the heart are intention and sincerity. Deeds of the organs cover all deeds of obedience.

Kwa hiyo, ikiwa nguzo hizi nne zingeondoka -kauli ya moyo na vitendo vyake, kauli ya ulimi na vitendo vya viungo-, imani kwa jumla ingeondoka.

So, if these four were gone -utterance of the heart and its deeds, utterance of the tongue and deeds of the organs -, belief in total is gone.

Zaidi ya hayo, ikiwa imani ya moyoni haipo, basi yaliyobaki hayana faida yoyote. Kwani imani ya moyoni ndiyo sharti la kuwepo kwake na kuwa na athari. Hii ni sawa na mtu aliyekanusha Majina na Sifa za Allah, au chochote alichotumwa nacho Mitume, au kile kilichoteremshwa katika Vitabu vya Allah Mtukufu. Zaidi ya hayo, endapo amali za moyo peke yake zingekosekana, wanazuoni wamekubaliana kwa pamoja kwamba imani pia inakuwa imepotea. Kwani kuamini bila kuwepo kwa amali za moyo (nia na ikhlasi) ni bure. Hali hiyo hiyo inatumika kwa Iblisi (Shetani), Firauni na watu wake, Mayahudi na washirikina, ambao waliona ukweli wa Mtume Muhammad ﷺ na kuukiri hadharani na kwa siri, lakini walikuwa wakisema: Yeye si mwongo, lakini hatutamfuata wala kumwamini.

Moreover, if the conviction of the heart is gone, the rest becomes of no good. As, conviction of the heart is a precondition for their existence and effectiveness. This is like one who belied the Names and Attributes of Allah or any of what the Messengers were sent with or that which was revealed in the Books of Allah the Almighty. Moreover, in case Deeds of the heart alone were gone, scholars unanimously agree on that belief is gone too. As, believing without the existence of the deeds of the heart (intention and sincerity) is in vain. The same is applicable to Iblis (Satan), Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and his folks, the Jews and polytheists who saw the truthfulness of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and confess it in public and secret, but used to say: He is not a liar, but we will neither follow, nor believe in him.
