\n But...

\n But, briefly, \u2018Eman\u2019 is of two kinds: \u2018Eman-bil-Qalab\u2019 (believing in from the heart) and \u2018Eman-bil-Lisan\u2019 (superficial iterating from the tongue).\u00a0 For example, during the time of Prophet -saww , hypocrites would only accept faith out of fear of the sword, in the state of depression as well as to avoid alienation; although their hearts were not with their tongues.

\n Thus, only the \u2018Eman-bil-Qalab\u2019 is acceptable to Allah -azwj , whosoever has entrusted all his affairs in the Guardianship of Allah -azwj , will never ever disobey Him -azwj .\u00a0 Similarly, Iblis\u2019s refusal to bow down to Hazrat Adam -as or several nations\u2019 rejection of accepting commands of the Prophets -as , which were sent down for their guidance.\u00a0 They, therefore, neither got any benefit out of accepting the \u2018Tauheed\u2019 nor did Iblis -la by performing long prostrations to Allah -azwj .\u00a0 Indeed, one of his -la prostrations lasted longer than 4,000 years, during which his mind never got distracted by the attractions of the world and beauties of life.

\n Thus, offering prayers and giving alms for the just cause, will never be of any help, without accepting \u2018Guidance [58] \u2019.\u00a0 Allah -azwj does not take into account the excuses of the masses after revealing His -azwj \u2018Symbols\u2019 and sending down His -azwj Prophets -as , so they cannot put forward any justification for their actions to Him -azwj , after listening to His Prophets -as .\u00a0 However, this earth has never been or ever will, be without the Divine teachers -asws and on them -asws ; people are dependent for the knowledge but these \u2018Teachers\u2019 -asws are always very few in number.

\n Allah -azwj has mentioned about them -asws to the previous nations, to whom His Prophets -as were sent and has, therefore, exemplified them -asws for all the people to come later on.\u00a0 An example of this, is the nation of Noah -as , where with the exception of a few, most of his -as people did not accept \u2018Eman\u2019.\u00a0 And Allah -azwj also Says about those who embraced \u2018Eman\u2019 from the nation of Moses -as , \n \u2018 And among the companions of Moses there have been people who would guide [others] to the \u2018Just Path\u2019 and act justly in its light.
