Criterion of Belief

To Accept the Decisions made by Allah and His

Messenger in willing submission

{ 56} 4 -

But no (O Mohammad SAW), by your Lord, they cannot become

true believers until they make you judge in all disputes between
them, and then find not the least resistance in their hearts over
what you have decided, and accept it in willing submission.
It is not for a believer, male or female, that when

{ 35 } 33 -

It does not behove a believer, male or female, that when Allah

and His Messenger have decided an affair, they should exercise
their choice. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has
strayed to manifest error.
The Believers love Allah and His Messenger above all.

{ 556} 2 -

And the Believers love Allah most ardently.

{ 32 - 35} 3 -

(O Messenger!) Tell people: 'If you indeed love Allah, follow me,
and Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. Allah is AllForgiving, All-Compassionate.' Say: 'Obey Allah and obey the
Messenger.' If they turn away from this then know that Allah
does not love those who refuse to obey Him and His Messenger.

{ 23} 9 -

O Believers, do not take your fathers and brothers as allies, if

they choose disbelief in preference to Faith; for whoso of you
will take them as allies will surely be the workers of iniquity.

You will not find a people who believe in Allah and the Last Day
befriending those who oppose Allah and His Messenger even though
they be their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred.
He has inscribed faith in their hearts and has strengthened them
with a spirit from Him, and He will make them enter Gardens
beneath which rivers flow. Therein they will abide. Allah is wellpleased with them, and they are well-pleased with Him. They belong
to Allah's party. Verily Allah's party shall prosper.
Claim of Belief and Way of Disbelief
To submit disputes to the judgement of Taghut (The
Evil) instead of Allah and His Prophet.

{ 56} 4 -

(O Messenger!) Have you not seen those who claim to believe in the
Book which has been revealed to you and in the Books revealed
before you, and yet desire to submit their disputes to the judgement
of Taghut (the Satanic evil authorities who decide independently of
the Law of Allah), whereas they had been asked to reject it. And
Satan seeks to make them drift far away from the right way.

Not to judge by what Allah has revealed is Disbelief

{ 44} 6 -
Those who do not judge by what Allah has revealed are indeed
the unbelievers.

The Way of Hypocrites: They are not happy with

the Dicisions made by Allah & His Prophet.

{ 62 - 44 } 24 -

These people say "We have believed in Allah and the Messenger
and we have submitted"; but soon after this, some of them turn
away (from obedience): such people are not true Believers.
When they are called to Allah and His Messenger so that the
Messenger may judge between them, a party of them turns
away. However, if the truth be on their side, they come towards
the Messenger in all obedience. Are their hearts afflicted with
the disease (of hypocrisy)? Or, are they in doubt? Or, do they
fear that Allah and His Messenger will be unjust to them? In fact,
they themselves are unjust. As regards the Believers, when they
are called towards Allah and His Messenger so that the
Messenger may judge between them, they say, "We have heard
and obeyed"; such are the people who attain true success, and
only those attain true success who obey Allah and His Messenger
and fear Allah and refrain from His disobedience.
