Take action according to Islamic teachings

This hadith explains the verse from the Quran which states that one must not only say they have submitted their will to Allah, but also act upon it. Al-Zuhri explains that this means that saying you are Muslim is not enough, you must also have faith in your actions. To be a true believer, one must both say and do what Allah has commanded. It is not enough to just talk about it; one must live by it as well. This hadith teaches us that words alone are not enough to show our faith in Allah; we must also take action in order for our faith to be complete.
