Description
Perfected Faith
The adjective “kamil” in Arabic means perfect, genuine, and complete. The “perfected faith” (kamil Iman) discussed in this book represents the highest level of maturity and depth of faith an individual can ever attain. But how does a believer’s faith grow mature and become perfect?
According to Qur’an, saying just “I believe in Allah” alone is sufficient. However, Allah warns people against this rationale: “Do people imagine that they will be left to say, ‘We believe,’ and will not be tested?” (Surat al-‘Ankabut, 2)
Everyone is responsible for aiming at moral perfection and striving towards that end. No boundaries limit such a noble human endeavor. Each believer who has a deep-seated faith in Allah and strives sincerely to draw closer to Him can display this moral perfection and thus attain the “maturity of faith”.
But how does a believer’s faith grow mature and become perfect? The purpose of this book is to define the “perfected faith” and explain what is a person of perfected faith like, from what kind of a belief in Allah does he have to about which matters does he talk and how does he pray and what does he ask for.
