1. Al Iman Bil Allah

You must believe in Allah (SWT), meaning to believe that He is Existent and not Non-existent; eternal, not originating in or subject to time or space; Everlastingly Abiding, not subject to end; Dissimilar to and other than anything within time or space, nothing in any way resembling Him. Allah says in the Qur’an: ‘Say: He is Allah, the One and Only, The Unique; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He has no children, nor is He begotten; and there is none like unto Him.’ [EMQ al Ikhlas 112: 1-4]

‘There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All Hearing, the All Seeing.’ [EMQ as Shuraa 42: 11]

‘And do not put forward any similitude for Allah. Indeed, Allah knows and you do not know.’ [EMQ an Nahl 16: 74]

2. At Tawheed

You must believe Allah is One and Unique, without co-sharer in His Essence, Names, Attributes, or Actions; Possessed of Almighty Power, Will, Knowledge, Life, Hearing, Sight, Speech, such that He is Almighty, and Wills, Knows, Lives, Hears, Sees, and Speaks. (The details of Tawheed and its conditions are given in Appendix Five).

3. Al Iman Bil Malaa'ikah

You must believe in the existence of Angels meaning believing they exist, and are as Allah says:

‘Honoured servants of Allah who do not disobey what Allah commands them to do.’ [EMQ al Anbiya 21:26]

We are obliged to know about certain individual Angels: Jibreel, Mika’il, Israfeel, Munkar,

Nakir, Ridwan, Malik and the Kiraman Katibeen who record the deeds of a person. We must believe that Jibreel is the Angel who conveyed the message to the Prophets including the Holy Qur’an to Muhammed (saw).

4. Al Iman Bil Kutub Al Samawiyyah

You must believe in the divine books. It is obligatory to have Iman that indeed Allah (SWT), revealed Books to His Prophets and Messengers so they could convey the truth about Him, Allah (SWT) says: "Indeed We have sent Our messengers with clear proofs, and revealed with them the Book and the Balance (justice) that mankind may stand forth in justice." [EMQ al Hadid 57:25]

The Almighty says: "Mankind were one community and Allah sent Prophets with glad tidings and warnings and with them he sent the Book in truth to judge between people in matters wherein they differed." [EMQ al Baqara 2:213]

We believe in those Books which Allah (SWT) has mentioned by Name in the Quran, i.e. Taurat, Injeel and Zaboor and the Qur'an.

The Noble Qur'an is the best and final Book of them, it is the seal of them and believable, to follow it is obligatory on all of the nation along with the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (SWT) because Allah, despatched His Messenger Muhammad (saw) as Messenger to all the Jinn and Mankind, and, this Qur'an was revealed so it would give verdicts between the people and the judgement and put intercession for their hearts and make everything clear for them and guidance and mercy for the believers, Allah (SWT) says : "And We have sent down to you the Book (Qur'an) as an exposition of everything and a guidance and a mercy, and glad tidings for those who have surrendered (to Allah, as Muslims)". [EMQ an Nahl 16:89].

5. Al Iman Bil Anbiyaa War Rasul

It is obligatory to have Iman in the Prophets and Messengers, that is to believe that indeed Allah (SWT), sent the Prophets and Messengers to his slaves, to warn, to give the glad tidings and to give dawa' to the truth, so whoever responds to them will have happiness, and whoever opposes, and disobeys them has failure and regret, and believe the best of and last them is our Prophet Muhammad bin Abdullaah (saw) who came as the seal of the Messengers a Mercy for all Mankind, Allah (SWT) says :"And verily We have sent amongst every nation a Messenger (saying): Worship Allah (Alone), and avoid all false deities." [EMQ an Nahl 16:36]

Allah also says:"Messengers as bearers of good news as well as of warning in order that mankind should have no plea against Allah after the Messengers". [EMQ an Nisa 4:165]

We must believe in those Prophets and Messengers whom Allah has mentioned by name in the Qur’an, like Nuh, Hud, Salih and Ibraheem and others besides them.
