- habluminallah - relationship with Allah
- habluminannaas - relationship with other people
and that these two relationship are equally important. So Islam is never only about prayer or worship that only benefits oneself. Islam is also about interacting well with other people.
The Prophet s.a.w. said, "There is a charity (sadaqah) to be given for every joint of the human body (as a sign of gratitude to Allah) every day the sun rises. To judge justly between two persons is regarded as sadaqah; and to help a man concerning his riding animal, by helping him to mount it or by lifting his luggage on to it, is also regarded as sadaqah; and (saying) a good word is also sadaqah; and every step taken on one's way to offer the compulsory prayer (in the mosque) is also sadaqah; and to remove a harmful thing from the way is also sadaqah.” (Reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
Here's a good article on this: http://www.islamonline.net/english/in...

let me to show u my idea by some mathematics simple rules or better to say, with math logic:
reaching a real and idealistic muslim is an extreme. lim (your definition about a real muslim) x-->(your deeds(also extreme))=Muslim.
This equation says, in our life we are always trying to get that value and that would be our aim. Also I can paraphrase it in this way to u: we can never be a real muslim.
At the end, I just know that, whatever i've just told u about a real muslim from math point of view, is not completely correct, but correct. I dont know maybe it differs in Fuzzy logic. who knows?! now I myself cant understand whats correct? so that equation might be completely true.
I hope you could understand this text :)
M.N

and one of the main point of that text is, understanding a true way in our life, sometimes is really difficult, and even sometimes impossible. if it possibly could be, who we are? something should differ with profit or other personalities.

try to be a good muslim in every situasion, belive in Qur'an, living a good life the way the prophet of muhammad as good as I can. ...maybe I can never be a real moslem untill I die, but at lease i've try and that makes my life more meaningful and that's all that matter.
Am I a real moslem or not? I don't know...only Allah can decide.

لا یکلف الله نفسا الا وسعها

Firstly, if there's anyone who can be called a real muslim, it is the Prophet Muhammad SAW. So if we want to be a real muslim, we should all strive to emulate him.
Secondly, the journey is as important as the destination. Perhaps it is impossible to be a real muslim every second of our lives, but it is not impossible to try. And in Islam, our efforts are recognized and rewarded, not just the results. The intention is as important as the deed.
Ibn Abbas, radiyallahu 'anhu, reported that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, related from his Lord (glorified and exalted be He):
"Verily Allah has recorded the good deeds and the evil deeds." Then he clarified that: "Whosoever intends to do a good deed but does not do it, Allah records it with Himself as a complete good deed; but if he intends it and does it, Allah records it with Himself as ten good deeds, up to seven hundred times, or more than that. But if he intends to do an evil deed and does not do it, Allah records it with Himself as a complete good deed; but if he intends it and does it, Allah records it down as one single evil deed."
[Al-Bukhari & Muslim]

Hi there Nima.
5 wives? Which religion is that?
Rafezi is not relevent to the topic at hand, so it better that we stick to the topic.
Real muslim?
Interesting but rather unfruitful subject matter, if the topic was renamed 'How to be a real muslim', it would have been mmore benefical as there are so many practising and knowledgeble muslims in our group...we could have all benefitted form one another.
