Thus God strikes a parable saying that good and righteous deeds depend on believing in Divine Unity and the prophethood of His Messenger. When the heart rests truly on the firm ground of faith, deeds stemming from it will be of effect and constancy since man’s truth lies in his heart which accommodates faith and serves as the reservoir of piety. In case it is corrupted through disbelief, all deeds will be rendered vain and ineffective.
Thus it becomes evident that the recompense of one’s deeds depends on the firmness or frailty of faith. The firmer one’s faith and certitude become the effects and the rewards of one’s deeds will be higher and the same will purify the heart from vices. Surah Muhammad - Verse 4 فَإِذَا لَقِيتُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَضَرْبَ الرِّقَابِ حَتَّی إِذَا أثْخَنْتُمُوه
