There are seven Articles of Faith in Islam. These
basic beliefs shape the Islamic way of life.
 |
1-
Belief in the Oneness of God:
There is One God, Supreme and Eternal, Creator
and Provider, Who is Merciful and Compassionate.
God has neither father nor mother, and no sons
or daughters. God has never fathered anyone,
nor was He fathered. God has no equals. He is
God of all humankind, not of a special tribe,
race, or group of people. He is the God of all
races and colours, of believers and unbelievers
alike. God is Mighty and Supreme, yet is also
very near to pious, thoughtful believers, answering
their prayers and helping them. God asks us
to know Him, to love Him, and to follow His
Law, for our own benefit and salvation.

2- Belief in the Angels of God
Angels are pure and spiritually obedient beings,
created by God to fulfill His commands and worship
Him tirelessly.

3- Belief in the Revelations (Books)
of God
Muslims believe in the Revelations sent by Almighty
God to His Prophets and Messengers including the
Qur’an, the Torah, the Gospel, the Scrolls
of Abraham and the Psalms of David.

4- Belief in the Prophets of God
All Messengers and Prophets of God such as Noah,
Moses, Solomon, Jesus and Muhammad were mortal
human beings endowed with Divine Revelations and
appointed by God to teach humankind how to submit
to His will and obey His Laws.

5- Belief in the Day of Judgment
Muslims believe in an appointed Day of Judgment
and in Heaven and Hell.

6- Belief in Premeasurement (Qadar)
Muslims believe that Almighty God has knowledge
of, and control over, everything that exists in
all time and space.

7- Belief in Resurrection after Death
After the world ends, Muslims believe
that all people who have died will be brought
back to life (or, resurrected) in order to face
the Judgment rendered to each of them by Almighty
God. |
