What Is The Believer? by ichuka(m): 12:22am On May 18, 2017 |
.The Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God. (Colossians 2:19) In God's sight the believer is one in whom Christ is implanted, and God never looks at Christ in a limited way. He always looks at Him in an absolute way, and when Christ is implanted at the beginning of our life it is not as though God implanted Him in a fragmentary way. God's thought was that the end should be bound up with the beginning, and that Christ should be All and in all. That is why conversion is never an end in itself. It is only the first step toward the full end of God. It defines the nature of the believer in God's sight, that it is of Christ. You cannot make that. No decision cards can accomplish that. You can never make men and women Christians by inviting them to make certain decisions, to assent mentally to certain propositions of Christian doctrine,NO! There has to be something which constitutes in that individual, right at the very center of the being, a living union with Christ, and a deposit of Christ. Anything other than that is a false conversion. It is the depositing of Christ at the very center of the being, with a view to His spreading to the very circumference, that is the nature of a believer.... Recently,We see the Pathetic Hopelessness of trying to propagate anything by Organized means and Methods which really is all of God. It simply has to grow, it simply has to be. but when it is so it is mighty, it is indestructible, it is incorruptible. Nothing can stand in the way of Christ. It is that which rouses hell and the energies of the Devil. He does not mind all the other: doctrine, work, profession. That may often serve his ends as a great deception and misrepresentation; but bring Christ in, bring Christ through, realize Christ, and then you meet every force in this universe which is antagonistic to Christ. |

The Success is for the believers whose qualities are described here Successful indeed are the believers. (23:1) Those who with their Salah are khashi'un. (23:2) Their Khushu` was in their hearts.'' So they lowered their gaze and were humble towards others. Khushu` in prayer is only attained by the one who has emptied his heart totally, who does not pay attention to anything else besides it, and who prefers it above all else. And those who turn away from Al-Laghw (23:3) Which refers to falsehood, which includes shirk and sin, and any words or deeds that are of no benefit. And those who pay the Zakah. (23:4) Purification of the soul and of one's wealth, because that is part of the purification of the soul, and the true believer is one who pays attention to both matters. And those who guard their private parts. (23:5) Except from their wives or their right hand possessions, for then, they are free from blame. (23:6) means, those who protect their private parts from unlawful actions and do not do that which Allah has forbidden; fornication and homosexuality, and do not approach anyone except the wives whom Allah has made permissible for them. But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors. (23:7) Those who are faithfully true to their Amanat and to their covenants are Ra`un. (23: ![]() When they are entrusted with something, they do not betray that trust, but they fulfill it, and when they make a promise or make a pledge, they are true to their word. And those who strictly guard their Salawat. (23:9) means, they persistently offer their prayers at their appointed times. These are indeed the heirs. (23:10) Who shall inherit Firdaws. They shall dwell therein forever. (23:11) It was recorded in the Two Sahihs that the Messenger of Allah said: If you ask Allah for Paradise, then ask him for Al-Firdaws, for it is the highest part of Paradise, in the middle of Paradise, and from it spring the rivers of Paradise, and above it is the (Mighty) Throne of the Most Merciful.
