Belief and faith is simply a 'complete consonance between a man's true knowledge of the Absolute and his thoughts, ideas, emotions and passions. And righteousness of action i s the co-ordination which human actions should have with the Divine will. Belief and righteous deeds are two aspects or facets of one and the same reality, two sides of a single picture. This i s the reason why the Quran usually mentions these two together. There are very few cases in the Quran where belief alone has been mentioned, and even in these cases we can most often, on deeper reflection, discover an implicit refe- rence to the moral and practical obligations that genuine faith must entail.
