Brief grammar: الطُّهُورُ is the subject, شَطْرُ the predicate, and الْإِيمَانِ completes the possessive phrase. شَطْرُ الْإِيمَانِ means “half of faith,” not just “some part of faith.” The expression emphasises the high standing of purification; it is not a numerical formula for measuring an individual’s faith.
