by.
Read and find out what they are!
اَرْكَانُ الاِيْمَانِ سِتَّةٌ:
اَنْ تُؤمِنَ بِاللَّهِ، وَمَلاَئِكَتِهِ ، وَكُتُبِهِ ، وَرُسُلِهِ ، وَ
بِالْيَوْمِ الَْآخِرِ ، وَ بالْقَدَرِ خَيْرِهِ وَ شَرِِّهِ مِنَ اللَّهِ
تَعَالَى
The Pillars of Iman
are six:
To believe in Allah, the Angels, the Books, the Messengers, the Last
Day, the Divine Destiny and that the good and bad of it are all from
Allah, the Most High.
Arkanal Imanul Sitta:
An Tu'minu biLlahi, wa mala'ikatihi, wa kutubihi, wa Rusulihi, wa
bilyawmil Aakhir, wa bil-Qadarihi khairihi wa sharihi minAllahi Ta'ala
Belief in God/Allah:
Muslims believe in one, incomparable God, He has no son nor partner, and
that one has the right to be worshipped but Him alone. He is the true
God, and every other god is false. In the Qur'an, Allah describes
Himself:
Say, "He is Allah, the One. God, to Whom the creatures
turn for their needs. He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is
none like Him."
[suah Ahad; 112:1- 4]
Belief in the
Angels:
Muslims believe in the existence of the angels and that they are honored
creatures. The angels worship Allah alone, obey Him, and act only by His
command. Among the angels is Gabriel, who brought down the Qur'an to
Muhammad.
Belief in Allah’s Revealed Books:
Muslims believe that Allah revealed books to His messengers as proof for
mankind and as guidance for them. Among these books is the Qur'an, which
God revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (salAllahu alayhi wasalam). Allah
has guaranteed the Qur'an’s protection from any change.
Belief in the Prophets:
Muslims believe in the prophets and messengers of Allah, starting with
Adam, including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and Jesus
(peace be upon them). But Allah’s final message to man, a repeating of
the eternal message, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. Muslims
believe that all the prophets and messengers were created human beings
who had none of the divine qualities of Allah.
Belief in the Day of Judgment:
Muslims believe in the Day of Judgment (the Day of Resurrection) when
all people will be resurrected for Allah’s judgment according to their
beliefs and deeds.
Belief in Al-Qadar:
Muslims believe in Al-Qadar, which is Divine Predestination, but this
belief in Divine Predestination does not mean that human beings do not
have freewill. Rather, Muslims believe that God has given human beings
freewill. This means that they can choose right or wrong and that they
are responsible for their choices. The belief in Divine Predestination
includes belief in four things:
1) Allah knows everything. He knows what has happened and what will
happen.
2) Allah has recorded all that has happened and all that will happen.
3) Whatever Allah wills to happen happens, and whatever He wills not to
happen does not happen.
4) Allah is the Creator of everything.
