Islam, the Essence of Faith and Love
By Habibullah Bahwi
Hence, what is the significance of a long and complicated answer about Islamic theology, Islamic jurisprudence and Islamic tradition? To me, these are formal instruments accompanying the faith and love of Islam. Religious theories, Islamic culture and civilization are an implementation of faith and love.

It is true that religions convey faith and love, however they are basically different in emphasizing of what faith and love true nature are. To certain religions love possibly means “treating either your enemies or friends as your beloved friends”, or perhaps giving food to those who are hungry, giving shelters to homeless people. Is that love? To some believers, faith means only a heartfelt confession that God really exists, which carries no consequences. What I really believe is that faith is a natural or destined consequence of human being. Everyone is born with this “sunnatullah”, in which human being are inherently believing that they are created by a supreme power, by an almighty God. That there are many people deviating from that path, purely because of their environment or circumstance, socially, psychologically, and physically. It is because of external influence. That is why we need to seek a true environment to build our faith. But having a faith is not always leading you to glory. It depends on wether your faith is true or not. So what is a true faith? A true faith is the one that is logically acceptable, means that that you can prove it right by means of thinking. A faith that can provide “fitrah” in your heart. A faith that can provide practical answers to all worldly problems and can keep up with changing world. But a true faith has practical consequences which are practices that should be done under guidance of the Almighty. Loving each other is one practical example of those consequences. But sometimes we need to or are obliged to hate in the sake of our faith guidance. To hate or punish criminal activities is a consequence of true faith. To love or to hate is just physical activities, but faith or religion is to give meaning to those activities.
