On The Variation Of Imaan From One Person To Another
al-Haafidh al-Hakamee [1377H] -Rahimullaah-

Question:

What is the proof that Imaan varies from one person to another?

Answer:

Allaah, the Most High, said,

“And those foremost in the life of this world will be foremost (in Paradise). These will be the nearest (to Allaah).” (al-Waaqiah: 10-11)

Allaah, the Most High, said,

“Then, if he (the dying person) be of the Muqarrabun (those brought near to Allaah), (there is for him) rest and provision, and a Garden of Delights. And if he (the dying person) be of those on the Right Hand, then there is safety and peace (from the Punishment of Allaah) for those on the right Hand.” (al-Waaqiah: 88-91)

Allaah, the Most High, said,

“Then of them are some who wrong their own selves, and of them are some who follow a middle course, and of them are some who are, by Allaah's Leave, foremost in good deeds.” (Faatir: 32)

And in the hadeeth of ‘Intercession’ the Prophet (sallallaahualaihi wasallam) said, “Allaah will remove from the Fire the one who has in his heart Imaan equal to the weight of a dinaar, and then the one who has in his heart Imaan equal to the weight of half a dinaar.” And in another narration: “ And Allaah will remove from the Fire the one who said, “There is no one worthy of worship except Allaah and he has in his heart Imaan equal to the weight of a barley grain, then Allaah will remove from the Fire the one who said, “There is no one worthy of worship except Allaah and he has in his heart Imaan equal to the weight of a wheat grain, and then Allaah will remove from the Fire the one who said, “ There is no one worthy of worship except Allaah and he has in heart Imaan equal to the weight of an atom.” (al-Bukhaaree)
