Islam and the Quran
Man shall have only that for which he
strives. (Quran 53:39)

If a person has true faith in God, then such a faith makes
him modest. His speech and his conduct reflect his living
faith in God. He thinks of God constantly watching over
him. Some commentators on the Quran have defined a
true believer as one who believes in the unseen in the
manner in which he believes what is seen. A believer lives
in this world in the same state that will overcome people
when they will directly see God on the Day of Judgement.
A believer surrenders to God in the present world itself.

108 Is it not a crime to demolish a mosque?

here are four schools of jurisprudence: Shafi, Maliki,
THanbali and Hanafi. There is a book in Hanbali School
where the clerics had given the fatwa that if a mosque has
to be demolished for a valid reason, it would be considered
justified. If a mosque is demolished in a country by non-
state actors, it is a matter of administrative concern
which would have to be sorted out by the administration.
People must accept whatever the administration of the
country decides.
