I believe in Allaah... . . . . . . . I believe in Allaah then be steadfast” as there is some value in him outwardly stating and restarting his belief in Allaah. It’s not enough to just say, but to actually follow through with action. Many times, we are very good at talking, but very weak at doing, practising, and living by our words. Simply saying by the tongue does not absolve us of our responsibility of living by the words we say/proclaim (say or proclaim). Quran says “Indeed, those who have said, ‘Our Lord is Allaah’ and then remained on a right course - the angels will descend upon them, [saying], ‘Do not fear and do not grieve but receive good tidings of Paradise, which you were promised.’” (Qur’an Fussilat, 41:30) Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allaah be pleased with him) said, “They are steadfast upon the obedience of Allaah, and they do not swerve away from that with the evasion of the fox.” This means they are firm upon what Allah has ordered from matters of belief, speech, and action. In addition, they consistently persist upon these orders of Allah. “Indeed, those who have said, ‘Our Lord is Allah’, and then remained on a right course - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.” (Qur’an, al-Ahqaf, 46:13) Anas bin Malik reports the Prophet (sas) said: “The belief of a servant will not be steadfast until his heart becomes steadfast, and his heart will not become steadfast until his tongue becomes steadfast”. (Imam Ahmad)
