Chapter 1: The statement of the Prophet (saws) "Islam is based on five principles

It is word and deed, and it increases and decreases. The Allah Almighty said: {To increase faith with their faith}, {And increase them guidance}, {And increase Allah those who were converted Huda}, {And those who were converted, increased by guidance and their piety}, {And those who believed in faith increased}, and his saying: {Which of you this faith increased, but those who believed, increased their faith}. And he said: "So fear them, and increase their faith." And the Almighty says: {And he increased them only in faith and delivery}. Love in Allah and hatred in Allah of faith.

And Abraham said: "But let my heart be assured." Muadh said: Sit with us and believe for an hour. Ibn Mas'ud said: Certainty is all faith. Ibn 'Umar said: A slave does not attain the truth of piety until he leaves what is woven in the chest.
