Imam Al Awzai (Rahimahu Allah) said:
"Faith (Iman) is not strong except with words (right). The faith and the words are not solid except with (good) deeds . And the faith, the words and deeds are not solid except with the intentions (right) in accordance to the sunnah.Those who were before our salafs did not separate the faith of the facts: The deeds are part of the faith and faith is from them (the deeds of one).The Iman is a word that links these aspects of religion (of Allah) and is confirmed by the deeds of (a person).
Then anyone who believes in the word, knows in his heart and confirms (his beliefs) through his deeds, then this is the strongest handhold that will never break. And whoever says (words of faith) but does not know (faith) in his heart , nor confirm with his deeds will never be accepted and he will be in the next life of those suffering in perdition".
