Those who have no faith have their inner world like a desolate and barren desert, and their minds are like rootless duckweed, lacking independence and depth, unable to be rooted in solid beliefs. As a result, their way of life is often only superficial imitation, lacking the uniqueness and creativity of the soul, like a shell without a soul. A truly excellent person must have a beacon of faith in his heart that illuminates his way forward.
And those who have lost their faith act as blind as headless flies. They are like adrift ships, not knowing where they are heading home. Their lives are always chasing some kind of external satisfaction, but they ignore the real needs of their hearts. They may have fame, status, and wealth in the eyes of the world, but deep down they often feel empty and lost. Because losing faith means losing understanding of life.
People of faith are full and steadfast in their hearts. They know that faith is not just the worship of the Creator, but also the love and respect for life. Their faith makes them cherish every moment of life more, love the world more, and respect others more, their faith enables them to persevere in the face of difficulties and setbacks, and their faith enables them to maintain inner peace and not be tempted by the glitz of the world.
Faith is extremely important to us, it is like a compass that guides us in the direction of our progress, it is like a beacon that illuminates our way forward. Therefore, it doesn't matter what we lose today, as long as our faith remains. The Merciful Lord said, "It would be better for you if you believed in Allah and His Messenger, and fought for your possessions and your lives for the cause of Allah." ”（61:11）
