Attaining The Reality Of Imaan

Imâm Ghazâlî Rahmatullahi alaih quotes Hazrat Sahl Tastarî Rahmatullahi alaih – one of the 

great Auliyâ of his time – as saying,

“A person cannot attain the reality of Îmân until he possesses four qualities:

1. Performing all obligatory acts in accordance to the Sunnah;

2. Eating only Halaal, meticulously;

3. Avoiding all prohibited matters, whether outward or inward; and

4. Remaining steadfast on the above, till death.”
(Ihyâ-ul-Ulûm)
