Can one be a practicing Muslim without submission to Allah?

  1. No one cannot because everything in the universe - whether we see it or not - is in submission to Allah. If he does not submit willingly, then eventually he does do unwillingly. For he has never has the freedom to escape from the laws that Allah has set for him. His vigor of youth will one day wither away and his downward trend will soon begin. Wrinkles will develop on his arms and face, replacing his smooth skin that he always nurtured and took care of. His memory will start fading, and his body will be in a losing battle to push away all the diseases that he was able to successfully fight when he was young. And eventually, no doctor on earth will be able to save him and he will return to his Lord and be captured. And Allah's words, that he never heeded to, will be fulfilled on him.
    If that is the case, then submission to Allah (swt) should be a conscious decision, for everyone eventually does it, willing or willingly. But there is always the difference between one who submits through a pair of handcuff and one who is not only a law-abiding peaceful citizen, but also makes a positive contribution towards the society that he is part of. These two are never equal.

  2. First, we must differentiate between two things the first thing is to believe all that came to Islam, the second thing is: all the action brought by Islam, the person who I think all that Islam came and worked on the application, it is the good Muslim
    The person who I think all that came to Islam and did not work so this is a Muslim Guilty
    The Quran says, "Whoever does an atom's weight of good shall see * It does an atom of evil shall see it"
    and if some one do every thing without submission to Allah? he will take zero
