Bismillah: Assalamo ALikum.

Wel_mel_2, just to confirm what you are saying...
Let's assume a non-muslim says the Shahadah and honestly believes it (i.e., the person believes there is no God but Allah, and that Mohammad is his prophet). You are saying that this does NOT necessarily make the person a muslim. Correct?

I said that Shahadah does not necessarily make a person a TRUE MUSLIM BELIEVER, there are many "named Muslims people" who are cheaters, thieves, lairs, hypocrites, etc etc and they utter the Shahadah like hundreds of times a day, and they too honestly believe that God is one and Muhammad pbuh is his messenger. Are they considered to be "TRUE MUSLIMS" by Allah? I don't think so.


Let me give you another example so that you can reflect on what am saying.


Allah tells us in the Qur'an:


And perform As Salat (Prayers), Verily, As Salat prevents from Al Fahisha (great sins of every king, unlawful sexual intercourse) and Al Munkar (disbelief, polytheism, and every kind of evil wicked deed) Qur'an 29:45


And so, if someone's prayer does not forbid him from doing all kind of great sins and disbelief acts, does his prayers count??? NO Of course not.


Salam


Wael.
