Faith without action is a dead letter. Islam teaches us that faith by itself is
not enough until it is transformed into action.
Prophet Muhammad said; "Faith does not depend on raising hopes, but
it is something which is firmly established in the heart and testified to by
action. Indeed, there are people who have been deceived by their hopes, so
that they finally leave this world without merit. They used to say, 'We have
good expectations from Allah.' Yet they only deceived themselves. For had
they truly placed good expectations in Allah, they would have excelled in
good deeds."
Each Muslim is taught that he/she is personally responsible for his/her own
actions. Islam teaches that every individual must carry the responsibility of
his/her own actions and that no one can carry that burden for them.
