Makna
What does the expression "however, birr is whoever believes in Allah..." mean?
Jawaban
Imām Ibn al-Jawzī (d. 597/1201) summarized the scholars' opinions in his book "Zād al-Masīr" as follows:
- But righteousness is (the righteousness of) whoever believes in Allah.
- But (the possessor of) righteousness is the one who believes in Allah.
Both explanations have been mentioned by al-Zajjāj.
