Islam has divided religiosity into two dimensions: Ibadat (obligations towards God) and muamalat (obligations towards society). A person cannot be considered true Muslim who does not fulfill the obligations of these two dimensions. It is important for a person to fulfill the responsibilities towards Allah Almighty and towards the society. Allah says in Quran that: "Our Lord! Surely whomsoever Thou makest enter fire, him Thou hast indeed brought to disgrace, and there shall be no helpers for the unjust."(Quran 3:192)
