Basic Faith / Six Pillars of Iman
The six foundational articles of faith that every Muslim holds firmly in their heart and mind.
Belief in Allah (God)
Believing in the One True God, His unique Names and Attributes, without equal, partner, or physical likeness.
Belief in the Angels
Noble spiritual creations made of light who obey God unceasingly (including Gabriel, who conveyed revelation).
Belief in the Divine Books
The original scriptures revealed to prophets: the Torah, Psalms, Gospel, and the final preserved Quran.
Belief in the Prophets
All noble messengers sent by God, including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and the final Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon them).
Belief in the Day of Judgment
Resurrection after death where every human is held accountable with perfect justice and boundless divine mercy.
Belief in Divine Decree (Qadar)
Trusting that Allah has wisdom over all things; everything that happens is within His knowledge and supreme wisdom.
Faith is Heart, Word, and Action
In Islam, faith is not blind or purely theoretical. It is defined as: Conviction in the heart, declaration on the tongue, and good deeds carried out in daily life.
When you know that God is constantly Near, Merciful, and All-Hearing, feelings of loneliness and anxiety are replaced with deep serenity and purposeful living.
