Hundred Questions - True Mu'min
True Mu'min
Q54 What are the characteristics of a true mu'min?
A54 The characteristics of a true mu'min are not outside the Qur'an, and these are perfect faith and good deeds. Perfect faith means believing in God and the Prophet, and after them, in the living and present Imam, and to affirm him with heart and soul. Good deeds mean to follow the commandments of these three ranks (i.e. the commandments of God, the Prophet and the Imam of the time).
If you want to see the characteristics of a true mu'min in detail, read the book Pir Pandiyat-i Jawanmardi, for there are many ways of expressing a thing, but their meaning is the same.
We can also say that the characteristics of a true mu'min are the love for and obedience to the Imam of the time, for they include all the virtues of religion and nothing is left out from them.
