The first is Belief, the second is Actions, and the third pillar is one’s character – or Attributes.

The heart believes what the mind denies.
This must be understood first of all, or else there is no lslam. It is useless to base or balance one’s faith on the level of the mind, which doubts anything that it cannot experience through the senses.

A believer must act with love.
Love for Allah Almighty, and His Prophet, and his Shaykh.
In his actions, a believer must imitate, or copy the behaviour of the Prophet ﷺ and his Shaykh, submitting all aspects of his life to them. There can be no ‘secret departments’ in his life. He must, at all times, and in every situation, behave as if he were in their presence.

Quran tells us, that there are not two hearts within the human breast.
We may be slaves to our nafs, to our ego’s desires, or we may serve our Lord.
The character of a servant of Allah is such that he is humble. He always considers himself to be in need to his Lord, to be weak and insufficient before his Lord, not puffed up with knowledge and selfimportance.
