Whatever in our brain is fact, and what is in our heart is faith.........
(my murabbi once advice me this)
FACT, also known as information. It could be learned from class and lecture that we attended, from books that we read. Fact could be gain from lots of sources...from the television, internet. some would just get it from others experiences and learned it from our own experiences. Nowadays in this globalize world all the information is just on our finger tips.
BUT...what about faith?
In order for us to practice the fact, we need the FAITH (IMAN). And faith only comes from only one source. That is from the creator of the heart itself, THE MOST GRACIOUS THE MOST MERCIFUL..ALLAH SWT.
Up until now we are just like a sponge. Could only absorb the fact. But doesn't have the strength to practice it, and turn it into AMAL..
A simple analogue. A doctor, a very knowledgeable person in the in medicine and health. In order for him to qualified as a doctor he need to learn all the information on the good and the bad for human health. And who else could know better about diseases than them. But despite of their wide knowledge, there are still doctors that smoking cigarette. This happen not because they don't know the harm effect of cigarette. But due to inability to turn the information that they learned into practice.
This is what happen in our society. Not that they don't know and maybe they are the expert. But when it come into AMAL..lots of them fail to do it. Because in order to practice ISLAM we need FAITH not only FACT. And FAITH (IMAN) only comes from ALLAH. To get this, is from prayers and mujahadah.
The Companion rad.hum. has already showed us the way. They had the solid believe and faith to ALLAH SWT and The Prophet SAW due to the sacrife that they made for the sake of Deen...
Without FAITH in our heart, what we learned will only remain as FACT. We know that to pray in congregation is 27 times better, we know that riba is forbidden (haram), we know that the only thing that those who enter paradise regret most is for their time that passed in the world without zikrullah, we know that gossips is forbidden, we know that we shall leave the world and what we will bring is only our good deeds (our IMAN and AMAL...)
