8. WHO ARE THE TRUE BELIEVERS?
The true believers, as discussed in the previous session,
are unique and distinct from the general Muslims (Imam
vs. Islam). In summary, a true believer has unique traits:

10. TRUE BELIEVERS … LESSONS TO LEARN
1. Not only does the Quran provide us the criteria and measuring-stick for human perfection ( ّ‫ان‬
‫كم‬َ‫م‬ َ‫اكر‬ّ‫عندللا‬‫اتقاكم‬ ) in addition, it also shows us who they are and what traits they have. ( ‫ما‬‫ان‬
‫المؤمنون‬‫ذین‬‫ال‬ )
2. Belief in the Prophet is a requirement alongside belief in Allah. ( ‫آمنوا‬ّ‫بالل‬‫و‬‫رسوله‬ )
3. Signs of true faith include conviction and having no doubts. ( ّ‫ثم‬‫لم‬‫رتابوا‬َ‫ی‬ )

11. TRUE BELIEVERS … LESSONS TO LEARN
4. Faith is an inner trait which is only known through outward actions. ( ‫ما‬‫ان‬‫المؤمنون‬‫ذین‬‫ال‬...‫جاهدوا‬ )
5. Faith without struggle is nothing but empty slogans as the human perfection of faith means
that one is ready to give up their wealth and life for the cause. ( ‫جاهدوا‬‫باموالهم‬‫و‬‫انفسهم‬... )
6. In the culture of Islam, struggling with one’s wealth and life must be done solely for the sake
of Allah. ( ‫جاهدوا‬...‫فى‬‫سبیل‬ّ‫للا‬ )
