Faith in Action
\r\n Al-Baqarah (The Cow) Chapter 2: Verse 143 (partial)

\r\n

"God will never let your faith go to waste."

\r\n

This sentence has usually been interpreted to mean: "God will never let the Prayers you did turning to the Bayt al-Maqdis go to waste." However, it also conveys more general and important truths, such as:

\r\n
    \r\n
  • Faith cannot be separated from action. One's way of life and acting demonstrate whether one is a believer or not.
    \r\n
    \r\n
    • \r\n
  • The Prayer has an essential relation with faith. The Prayer, together with the intention in it and the way of doing it, is a definite sign of the character and depth of one's faith.
    \r\n
    \r\n
    • \r\n
  • Good deeds or actions done only for the good pleasure of God and based on faith will profit in the Hereafter. Whatever is done as a requirement of faith never goes to waste provided one preserves one's faith and goes to the other world with that faith strong and intact.
