They cite the verse: «فمن یؤمن بربه فلا یخاف بخسا ولا رهقا» “And whoever believes in his Lord, he does not fear deprivation nor oppression.” They had a reason for their claim that simply by avoiding the action, one cannot consider others as disbelievers and assume them to be hellish.
Another reason is taken from the hadith of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace: It is narrated from Hazrat Ubada bin Samit, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say:«من شهد أن لا إله إلا الله، وأن محمدا رسول الله، حرم علیه النار»Whoever testifies that there is no God but Allah, the Most High, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, the Fire of Hell will be forbidden to him.
Therefore, it became clear that the Morjaeh think that faith consists of knowledge and acknowledgment of the heart or speaking with the tongue while observing the actions of the limbs accordingly, they believe that sin does not harm the believer and obedience does not benefit the unbeliever.
Sabit Qutneh, the famous poet of the Morjaeh, mentions this issue in his poems and says:
ولا أری ان ذنبا بالغ احدا الناس شرکا إذا ما وحدوا الصمد
“We do not see any sin that brings someone to the border of polytheism, as long as they accept Allah as monotheism.”
Al-Rajhi writes in this regard: “In fact, the Morjaeh considered the source of faith to be pure knowledge to know the Lord with the bottom of the heart; therefore, whoever knows his Lord with the heart, he is a believer, and disbelief is nothing but ignorance of the Allah; therefore, the scholars acknowledge that Iblis knew his Lord; therefore, he was a believer and asked Allah to give him a chance on the appointed day, and also Pharaoh is known as a believer because he knew his Lord.”
Therefore, in criticizing the thought of the Morjaeh, it should be said: Faith without action is in the ruling of Islam, and the holy verse confirms this claim and listens to the rebuke of those who believe that faith is only confession with the tongue, they have brought Islam, not faith, it says: «قَالَتِ الْأَعْرَابُ آمَنَّا قُلْ لَمْ تُؤْمِنُوا وَلَكِنْ قُولُوا أَسْلَمْنَا وَلَمَّا يَدْخُلِ الْإِيمَانُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ» “Some of the Bedouins said: We believed, say you have not believed, but say we have embraced Islam and faith has not yet entered your hearts.”
