Reminder for Muslim Activists and Politicians -
Allah ﷻ says in Sūrah al-Aḥzāb, "Allah does not place two hearts in any person’s chest." (33:4)
Within the framework of Islam, the heart is considered to be the locus of intelligence, faith, understanding, comprehension, and

spirituality. If a person is a believer, someone who believes in Allah ﷻ, His Messenger ﷺ and the last day, it is impossible for them to disbelieve at the same time. Two separate systems of belief cannot exist within the heart of an individual at the same time. A person cannot

have two different sets of beliefs, values, morals, principles, and ethics. They can’t have one set of beliefs for their personal life and another for their social life.
Syed Quṭb beautifully and powerfully writes, "Man cannot have one source for his manners and morality,

another for his laws and legislation, a third for his social and economic values, and a fourth for his art and philosophy. Such a mixture does not produce a man with a sound heart: it only produces a confused medley that lacks solid form or basis. A person with faith cannot truly

hold to his faith and abandon its values and requirements in any situation in life, serious or not. He cannot say a word, take an action, formulate a concept, make a decision unless he remains within the limits established by his faith, which must always be a reality in his life

This is because God has not given him more than one heart, one law and one standard of values.
A person of faith cannot say of anything he does: ‘I am doing this in my personal capacity and I am doing that in my Islamic capacity’, as we frequently hear politicians, businessmen,

academics and others say. Since he is one person with one heart, he has one faith and one standard that govern all that he does and says in any and every situation. With this one heart he lives as an individual, a family man, a member of the community, a citizen of the state and

the world; he lives in public and private, employer or employee, ruler or ruled, in situations of comfort or distress; having the same values and standards at all times: “Never has God put two hearts in one man’s body.”"
