Islamic Beliefs: Nature of God, Articles of Faith, and Key Concepts

This page provides a comprehensive overview of fundamental Islamic beliefs, focusing on the nature of Allah, the Six Articles of Faith in Sunni Islam, the Five Roots of Usul ad-Din in Shia Islam, and other crucial concepts such as angels, prophets, holy books, predestination, and the Day of Judgment.

Nature of Allah

The nature of Allah in Islam is characterized by absolute oneness, known as Tawhid. Muslims believe in strict monotheism, rejecting any form of polytheism or associating partners with Allah.

Highlight: Tawhid is the most important belief in Islam, emphasizing the indivisible unity of Allah.

Key aspects of Allah's nature include:

  • Allah is the one true God, referred to by 99 names describing His attributes.
  • Allah is both immanent presenteverywherepresent everywhere and transcendent beyondthephysicalworldbeyond the physical world.
  • It is forbidden to depict Allah in any form, as He is beyond human comprehension.

Quote: "Say 'He is Allah who is one.' He neither begets nor is born. Nor is there any equal to him."

Predestination (Al-Qadr)

  • Sunni view: Allah has predetermined all events.
  • Shia view: Allah knows all events but did not predetermine them, preserving human free will.

Day of Judgment and Afterlife

Islam teaches about the Day of Judgment YawmalQiyamahYawm al-Qiyamah and the afterlife AkirahAkirah. This includes concepts such as:

  • Barzakh: The period between death and resurrection.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
