Quran 49:15 – Doubt After Belief
I think these verses are saying in a very practical manner that ‘Actions speak louder than words’. Instead of pretentiously claiming your faith in front of Prophet (sws), let it truly transcend itself into actions. And if you act according to the faith you profess, you will get your reward. In my understanding, the mentioning of doubt is in context after one actually believes in Allah after exhausting all the logical and mental faculties, one will sacrifice His life and His wealth in the way of ALLAH (if and when situation demands it); just like how the first believers did at the time of Prophet (sws).
He’s an informed Muslim but a question came up and now he seems to have a bit of a doubt. Now he’s obviously not gonna be like I’m an ex Muslim now because of this doubt
Having a doubt about something you already believe or used to believe and questioning something about religion are two separate things. A question is never evil and can be answered, but doubt is something that is not so straightforward to answer, it has more to do with person’s inner being than the outer being. I don’t know what kind of doubts that brother migth be having, but if he has genuine questions, he should seek their answers with sincerity and even then if dissatisfied, and has genuine doubts that actually remained unanswered despite his effort, his excuse may become acceptable.
I think the Bedouins being talked about baiscally thought that let’s just say we’re Muslims to please the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم . As mentioned in ayah 17. But Allah said that dont do this. They must’ve had doubts and qs because they just said they were mumin because of trying to do a favour so Allah said that no- believers don’t have doubts- they come to conclusions through logical reasoning not just as a favour. So I think it’s not so much about an internal judgement of imaan rather the way they Bedouins came to call themselves Momins which was the issue
Yeah- a true momin should be one who comes to conclusions logically rather than just as a favour
You are not muslim and you are telling about momin. Amazing. I described simple rule of Islam.
I’m just commenting on what one reading of the ayaat suggests. That you can be a Muslim but non a momin.
