Tree of Faith
By Al-'Allamah 'Abdur-Rahman al-Sa'di
(d. 1376 H.)
"Do you not see how Allah sets forth a metaphor of a good word: a good tree whose roots are firm and whose branches are in the sky? It bears fruit all the time by its Lord's permission. Allah sets forth metaphors for people so that hopefully they will pay heed." [Ibrahim (14): 24-25]

The Tree of Faith
By Al-'Allamah 'Abdur-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1376 H.)
Allah, the Exalted says,
"Do you not see how Allah sets forth a metaphor of a good word: a good tree whose roots are firm and whose branches are in the sky? It bears fruit all the time by its Lord's permission. Allah sets forth metaphors for people so that hopefully they will pay heed."
[Ibrahim (14): 24-25]
Allah has likened the statement of faith, which is the best of statements, with a tree that is the best of trees bearing these noble characteristics. Its roots are firm, it is always growing and maturing and it bears fruit all the time, directing its numerous benefits and delectable fruits to its owner and others.
This tree varies greatly in the hearts of the believers, changing in accordance to the variation of the qualities that Alla h has described it with. Therefore it is upon the servant to hasten towards acquiring knowledge about it, its descriptions, that which leads to its existence and potency, its roots and its branches. It is upon him to expend his efforts in actualizing this tree in terms of knowledge and action for indeed his portion of good- ness and success, happiness in this life and the Hereaf- ter, is dependant upon the extent to which this tree [is implanted in his heart].

CHAPTER ONE
The Foundations of Faith
1.1 The Definition of Faith
The definition and explanation of things serves to clarify and simplify them. Indeed giving a ruling on something can only come about after having correctly conceptualised it. Whoever gives a ruling on something before having understood and conceptualised it such that he can distinguish it, will make serious errors.
As for the definition of faith, it is the firm belief, complete acknowledgement and acceptance of all that Allah and His Messenger have commanded to have faith in, submitting to it both inwardly and outwardly. It is the acceptance and belief of the heart that includes the actions of the heart and body, therefore it encompasses the establishment of the whole religion.
This is why the Imams and Salaf used to say,
Faith is the statement of the heart and tongue; action of the heart, tongue, and limbs.
Hence it comprises statement, action, and belief. It increases through obedience and decreases through disobedience. It includes the beliefs of faith, its morals and manners, and the actions demanded by it.
Affirming, believing in, and acknowledging the Beautiful Names of Allah, His Perfect and Lofty Attributes
