And in it, from the behavior and worship that it is mandatory for a human to accept Islam entirely; its origins and branches, and what relates to the rights of Allah and the rights of the servants, and that it is necessary for him to open his heart to this, for if it is not like that; then he is among the second group whom Allah intended to mislead.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever Allah intends good for, He gives him understanding in the religion; and understanding in the religion necessitates acceptance of the religion; because everyone who understands the religion of Allah and knows it, accepts it and loves it."
قَالَHe saidتَعَالَى:[Exalted be He]:﴿﴾فَلَاSo noوَرَبِّكَby your Lordلَاnotيُؤْمِنُونَwill believeحَتَّىuntilيُحَكِّمُوكَthey make you their judgeفِيمَاin whatشَجَرَcame upبَيْنَهُمْbetween them.ثُمَّThenلَاnoيَجِدُواwill findفِيinأَنفُسِهِمْthemselvesحَرَجًاany discomfortمِّمَّاfrom whatقَضَيْتَyou have judgedوَيُسَلِّمُواand submitتَسْلِيمًا)submission)
Allah says: "So no, by your Lord, they will not believe until they make you their judge in what has come up between them; then they will not find in themselves any discomfort from what you have judged, and they will submit completely." [An-Nisa: 65]

This is a confirmed oath by (no), and an oath by the most specific Lordship of Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, for His servants - and it is the Lordship of Allah for the Messenger - upon the denial of faith of those who have not established these three matters: the first: the arbitration of the Messenger (peace be upon him) for his saying: "until they make you judge;" meaning: the Messenger; so whoever seeks arbitration to other than Allah and His Messenger; then he is not a believer; either a disbeliever with disbelief that exits from the religion, or a disbeliever with lesser disbelief.

The second: the openness of the chest by his judgment; where they do not find any discomfort from what he has judged; rather, they will find acceptance and openness to what he has judged.
