WHAT IS A PERSON OF PERFECTED FAITH LIKE?

to make a fair judgement between right and wrong in compliance
with the Qur'anic logic,
to think about his own creation,
to think about the Day of Reckoning,
to take admonition, thinking about paradise and especially hell,
to make a reckoning of his self.

What Kind of An Understanding of Love Does He Have?
He loves Allah more than anyone and anything,
The love he feels for the Prophet (saas) surpasses the love he feels
for other people,
The love he feels for believers is a love based on Allah's consent,
The one he loves most is the one whom he hopes will strive most for
the approval of Allah and is the most pious.
He does not nurture a passionate love for worldly pleasures,
He does not ask for any reward in return for his deeds other than
Allah's love,
He does not like those who oppose Allah and His messenger,
The love or need he feels for something does not hinder him from
giving it up.

How, and About Which Matters Does He Talk?
He glorifies Allah with His most beautiful names,
He advocates what is good,
Of the events that he expects to take place in the future, he says
"Insh'Allah" meaning, "by Allah's will".
He glorifies Allah with the word "Maash'Allah" when he sees such
beauty as reflects Allah's artistry,
He utters such words as he hopes will please Allah,
While talking, he recalls Allah's verses,
He speaks wisely,
