بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم
Faith (iman) breaks down into six axioms:
- Belief in the existence and oneness of God (Allah s.w.t.).
- Belief in the existence of angels.
- Belief in the existence of the books of which God is the author: the Al-Quran (revealed to Muhammad s.a.w.), the Gospel (revealed to Jesus a.s.), the Torah (revealed to Moses a.s.), and Psalms (revealed to David a.s.).
- Belief in the existence of all Prophets: Muhammad s.a.w. being the last of them, Jesus a.s. the penultimate, and others sent before them [like Moses a.s., Abraham a.s., David a.s., Joseph a.s., Jacob a.s.].
- Belief in the existence of the Day of Judgment: in that day, humanity will be divided into two groups: that of paradise and that of hell. These groups are themselves composed of subgroups.
- Belief in the existence of God’s predestination due to God’s omniscience, whether it involves good or bad.
