Okay, here’s a scenario: Say you have someone like an Arberry who possibly walked through life with a believe in the Islamic concept of God, and because of his proximity to the values of Islam, internalized those values but had never pronounced the Shahada. This person may live his life as a Muslim in how he relates to nature, humanity and the Absolute. His actions may reflect Islam.

Without the reliance on prior authorities, but through your own instinct, do you think that God would recognize that which is in the heart even if it has not manifested in an outward declaration. There are Muslims in speech who are not and then there are those who are silent that may just be.
