The first verse of Surah Hujurat shows that even if one does not truly practice Islam, he is still considered a Muslim due to his belief. The verse is about a group of Bedouins that came to the Prophet saying that they had become believers (mu’mins) and thought by such, they were doing him a favour. The verse commands the Prophet to tell them to say that they have become Muslims and not Mu’mins.

Of course, although practising does not change the fact that one is Muslim or not, but to be a true Muslim, not only should one believe in Islam but he must also act according to his belief and the teachings and laws of his religion whether those laws be social ones such as haqqul-nas or personal ones such as prayer and fasting.
