Definition of faith
Faith according to the Sunnis and the community
Belief, word and deed

Belief is the heart’s belief and approval
It is also called the saying of the heart
The word is the tongue’s statement of the two testimonies and their pronunciation
Work is the work of the heart
It is the submission, acceptance, and submission of the heart
Performing acts of obedience to the limbs is the type of work
According to the Jahmiyyah, faith is knowledge
According to the Ash'arites, it is belief
According to the Karamiyya, faith is utterance with the tongue
Even if there is no ratification or acceptance
According to the Murji'ah, faith is belief and the words of the tongue
According to the Kharijites, faith is all legitimate words and deeds, whether obligatory actions or forbidden omissions
If a person neglects one obligatory duty or does one forbidden act, he becomes a disbeliever
The Kharijites and Murji'ah agree in claiming that faith neither increases nor decreases
The Murji’ah jurists affirm the actions of the hearts and acknowledge their importance
But they make it something other than faith
They also remove the actions of the limbs from what is called faith
But if they were asked about the relationship of both the actions of the hearts and the actions of the limbs to faith
They said it is one of its supplies and fruits
