Transliteration:( Innal lazeena aamanoo wallazeena haadoo was saabi'oona wan Nasaaraa man aamana billaahi wal yawmil Aakhiri wa 'amila saalihan falaa khawfun 'alaihim wa laa hum yahzanoon )
208. By this it means those who merely recited the Kalima became Muslims on a national level and did not become staunch religious believers They were mere hypocrites. It is for this reason that Allah Almighty says: "Whoso of them believes with true heart in Allah" From this one learns that Qadiyanis, Chakralwics, etc. are not true believers but Muslims on the national level only.
 209. From this, we learn that Nasara.Yahud, worshippers of stars, etc. are not believers, even if they believe in all the revealed books. Otherwise "whoso of them believes." would not have followed after them.
 210. From this is understood that every pious believer is a saint because similar merits and status are mentioned regarding the saints Further, we understand that the fear of Allah is the means of achieving fearlessness in the world.
