Deviation from the correct Aqeedah is destruction and failure
because the correct Aqeedah is the strong motivating force towards beneficial
actions.
**An individual without the correct Aqeedah can become a victim of
misunderstandings and doubts that besiege him and make obscure (for him) the
path to the blissful life, until his life narrows upon him and he tries to
break through this confinement by committing suicide as has occurred with many
people who have lost the guidance of correct Aqeedah.
A society, which is not governed by the correct Aqeedah, is
an animalistic society, which has lost all components of the blissful life.
Even if (such a) society possesses many elements of material life, it gradually
leads to destruction, as is witnessed in the disbelieving communities. It is
such because (even) these material elements require direction and guidance in
order to benefit from their qualities and advantages and nothing can guide it
except the correct Aqeedah.
Allah says, 'O (you) Messengers! Eat of the Taiyibat (lawful) and do righteous
deeds.' [Soorah al-Muminoon (23): 51]
�And indeed, We bestowed grace on Dawud (a.s.
)from Us (saying), 'O you mountains. Glorify (Allah) with him! And you birds
(also)! And We made the iron soft for him'. Saying, 'Make you perfect coats of
mail, balancing well the rings of chain armour, and work you (men)
righteousness. Truly, I am All�Seer of what you do.' And to Solomon (We
subjected) the wind, its morning (stride from sunrise till midnoon) was a
month's (journey), and its afternoon (stride from the midday decline of the sun
to sunset) was a month's (journey i.e. in one day he could travel two months'
journey). And We caused a fount of (molten) brass to flow for him, and there
were jinn that worked in front of him, by the Leave of his Lord, and whosoever
of them turned aside from Our Command, We shall cause him to taste the torment
of the blazing Fire. They worked for him what he desired, (making) high rooms,
images, basins as large as reservoirs, and (cooking) cauldrons fixed (in their
places). 'Work you, O family of Dawud (a.s), with thanks!' But few of My slaves
are grateful.' [Soorah Saba (34):10-13]
Therefore, it is necessary that the strength of Aqeedah not
be separated from the materialistic strength. Because, if you separate yourself
from the correct aqeedah by deviating to the false beliefs, then the
materialistic strength becomes a means of destruction and degradation, as is
seen today in the disbelieving countries, which possess the materialistic
(strength), but do not have a correct Aqeedah.
