1. Belief in Allah (Tawhid)
Belief that Allah is the Sole Creator, Sustainer, and Sovereign of all that exists, unique without partners, children, or equals.
Muslims worship Allah directly without intermediaries, knowing He is the All-Hearing, All-Seeing, Merciful, and Just.
2. Belief in the Angels
Angels are honorable creations made from light who obey Allah unconditionally and execute His commands in the universe.
Prominent angels include Jibreel (Gabriel, who brought revelation), Mika'eel (responsible for rain and provision), and Israfil.
3. Belief in the Divine Scriptures
Allah revealed books of guidance to His messengers, including the Scrolls of Abraham, the Torah of Moses, the Psalms of David, the Gospel of Jesus, and the final preserved Quran revealed to Muhammad.
The Quran confirms the timeless message of monotheism and remains preserved verbatim to this day.
4. Belief in the Prophets and Messengers
Allah sent prophets to every nation preaching monotheism, righteous morals, and warning against oppression and disbelief.
Muslims revere all prophets equally—from Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus to the final seal of the prophets, Muhammad (peace be upon them all).
5. Belief in the Day of Judgment (Hereafter)
This worldly life is a temporary testing ground. All human beings will be resurrected and held accountable for their deeds with perfect justice.
Belief in the Hereafter provides profound moral accountability and eternal hope in Allah's reward of Paradise (Jannah).
6. Belief in Divine Decree (Al-Qadar)
Belief that Allah has complete knowledge of all things past, present, and future, and nothing occurs outside His will and wisdom.
This faith brings unmatched peace of mind: a believer strives actively while trusting that every outcome is within Allah's wise decree.
