This article discusses a topic of the essential unity between the act of believing and the act of doing within Islam and in the light of the Qur'anic teachings. We are here concerned about a type of religious experience that has not yet been discussed. Believing and doing good deeds are related within the most intimate link and there is not a thing that can come between the two. The relation between the two is such that it is impossible to make one of the primary importance and the other of the secondary. Just like the act of doing is not possible without the idea as its guiding line which designs it, thus the act of believing is not possible without good deeds. It is the good deeds that make the faith a dynamic, not a static fact. Not only in disclosure and love, but also in good deeds, in experience that makes it a historical fact is that something that lifts it above experience and above historical. Good deeds are an open perspective as the Messenger s.w.s. himself defined it.
