ISLAM

The six articles of faith

Iman is generally outlined using the six articles of faith:

1. Belief in Allah.

2.Belief in the Angels

3.Belief in the Prophets(A.S)

4.Belief in Divine Books

5. Belief in the Day of Judgment

6.Qadar (Fate)

Of these, the first five are mentioned together in the Qur'an[9]andProphetMuhammad,while including a corollary of belief in Allahthe good and evilof fate ordained by Godhas referred to all six together in the followingmanner in theHadith of Gabriel:

"Iman is that you believe in God and His Angels and His Books and His

Messengers and the Hereafter and the good and evil fate [ordained by your

God]."[10]

Another similar narration ascribed to the Prophet is:

Ibn Abbas narrates that the Angel Jibril once asked the Prophet: "Tell mewhat is Iman?" The Prophet replied: "Iman is to believe in Allah, the Day of

Judgment, His (Allah's) Angels, Books and Prophets and to believe in life

after death; and to believe in Paradise and the Fire, and the setting up of

the Mizan (scales) to weigh the deeds; and to believe in the Divine Decree,

the good and the bad of it (all). Jibril then asked him: "If I do all this will I be

with Iman?" The Prophet said: "When you have done all of this, you will be

having Iman."[11]

It is also assumed that the essential Iman consists of the first 3 items(Belief in God, Prophets, and the Hereafter)

Tawhid

Tawhid(Arabic: tawd; English: doctrine of Oneness [ofGod];alsotransliterated Tawheedand Tauheed) is the conceptofmonotheism inIslam.[1]It is the religion's most fundamental concept andholdsGod (Arabic:Allah)is one (wid) and unique (ahad).[2]

TheQu'ran asserts the existence of a single and absolute truth thattranscends the world; a unique, independent and indivisible being, who isindependent of the entire creation.[3]God, according to Islam, is a universalGod, rather than a local, tribal, or parochial oneGod is an absolute, whointegrates all affirmative values and brooks no evil.[4]

Tawhid constitutes the foremost article of the Muslim profession.[5]The firstpart of theShahada is the declaration of belief in the oneness of God.[2]Toattribute divinity to a created entity, known asshirk,is the onlyunpardonable sin mentioned in the Qur'an.[4]Muslims believe that the

entirety of the Islamic teaching rests on the principle of Tawhid.[6]

There isan uncompromisingmonotheism at the heart of theIslamic beliefs whichdistinguishes Islam from othermajor religions.[7]

Islamic intellectual history can be understood as a gradual unfolding of themanner in which successive generations of believers have understood themeaning and implications of professing God's Unity. Islamic scholars havedifferent approaches toward understanding it.Islamictheology,jurisprudence,philosophy,Sufism,even to some degreethe Islamic understanding ofnatural sciences,all seek to explain at some

level the principle of tawhid

Belief in angels

Angels(malikah; singular: malk) are heavenly beings mentioned manytimes in theQuran andhadith.Unlike humans orjinn,they have nofreewill and therefore can do only whatGod orders them to do. An example ofa task they carry out is testing individuals by granting them abundantwealth and curing their illness.[1]Believing inangels is one of the

sixArticles of Faith inIslam.Just as humans are made of clay, and jinn aremade of smokeless fire, angels are made of light

There is no standard hierarchical organization in Islam that parallelsthedivision into different "choirs" or spheres,as hypothesized and draftedby early medievalChristian theologians.Most[who?]Islamic scholars agreethat this is an unimportant topic in Islam, simply because angels have asimple existence in obeying God already, especially since such a topic hasnever been directly addressed in the Quran. However, it is clear that thereis a set order or hierarchy that exists between angels, defined by theassigned jobs and various tasks to which angels are commanded by God.Some scholars suggest that Islamic angels can be grouped into fourteencategories as follows, of which numbers two-five areconsideredarchangels.Not all angels are known by Muslims however, theQuran and hadith only mentions a few by name. Due to varied methods oftranslation from Arabic and the fact that these angels also existinChristian contexts and theBible,several of their Christian and phonetic

transliteral names are listed:

Jibrail/Jibril (Judeo-Christian,Gabriel), the angel of revelation, who issaid to be the greatest of the angels. Jibril is the archangel responsiblefor revealing the Quran toMuhammad,verse by verse. Jibrail is widelyknown as the angel who communicates with (all of) the prophets andalso for coming down with God's blessings during the night ofLaylat al-Qadr ("The Night of Power").

Israfil orIsraafiyl (Judeo-Christian,Raphael), is an archangel inIslam whowill blow the trumpet twice at the end of time. According to the hadith, Israfilis the angel responsible for signaling the coming of Qiyamah (JudgmentDay)by blowing a horn. The blowing of the trumpet is described in manyplaces in the Quran. It is said that the first blow will bring all to attention, willend all life,[3]while the second blow will bring all human beings back to lifeagain to meet their Lord for their final judgement.

Mikail (Judeo-Christian,Michael),[4]who provides nourishments for

bodies and souls. Mikail is often depicted as the archangel of mercy

who is responsible for bringing rain and thunder to Earth. He is alsoresponsible for the rewards doled out to good people in this life.

'Azrael/'Azraaiyl also known asMalak al-maut (Judeo-Christian, Azrael),theangel of death.He is responsible for parting the soul from the body.He is only referred as malak al-maut, meaning angel of death, in theQuran.[5]

Belief in Revealed books

Islamic holy booksare the texts whichMuslims believe were authoredbyGod to variousprophets throughout humanity's history. All thesebooks, in Muslim belief, promulgated the code and laws that Godordained for those people. Muslims believe theQuran to be the finalrevelation ofGod's word to man, and a completion and confirmation ofprevious scriptures.[1]Despite the primacy that Muslims place upon theQur'an as God's final word, Islam speaks of respecting all the previousscriptures, and belief in all the revealed books is anarticle of faith inIslam. The four revealed books mentioned by name in the Qur'an aretheTorah (revealed toMosesA.S), theZabur (revealed toDavidA.S), the

Injil (Gospel)(revealed toJesusA.S), and the Qur'an itself.

The Quran mentions at least three main Islamicscriptures which camebefore the Quran by name.

Tawrat (at-Tawrt): According to the Quran, the Tawrat was revealed toMoses,[2]but Muslims believe that the current Torah, although it retainsthe main message,[citation needed]hassuffered corruption over the years,and is no longer reliable. Moses and his brotherAaron (Harun) used theTorah to preach the message to the Banu-Isra'il(Children of Israel). TheQuran implies that the Torah is the longest-used scripture, with

theJewish people still using the Torah today, and that all the Hebrewprophets would warn the people of any corruptions that were in thescripture.[3]

Zabur (az-Zabur): The Quran mentions the Zabur, often interpreted asbeing the Book of Psalms, as being the holy scripture revealed to KingDavid. Scholars have often understood the Psalms to have been holysongs of praise.[4]The current Psalms are still praised by many Muslimscholars,[5][6]but Muslims generally assume that some of the currentPsalms were written later and are not divinely revealed.[citation needed]

Injil (al-Injil): The Injil was the holy book revealed to Jesus, according tothe Quran. Although many lay Muslims believe the Injil refers to theentireNew Testament,scholars have pointed out that it refers not to theNew Testament but to an original Gospel, given to Jesus (Isa) as theword of God (Arabic ,Allah).[7]Therefore, according to Muslim beliefthe Gospel was the message that Jesus, being divinely inspired,preached to the Children of Israel.

HinduIslamic relations

Hindu Islamic relationsbegan when Islamic influence first came to befound in theIndian subcontinent during the early 7thcentury.Hinduism andIslam are two of the worlds three largest religions.Hinduism is the socio-religious way of life of the Hindu people of theIndiansubcontinent,their diaspora, and some other regions which had Hindu

influence in the ancient and medieval times. Islam isastrictlymonotheistic religion in which the supreme deityisAllah (Arabic: "the God": seeGod in Islam), thelast Islamicprophet beingMuhammad ibn Abdullah,whom Muslims believe deliveredthe Islamic scripture, theQur'an.Hinduism mostly shares common termswith thedhrmicreligions,includingBuddhism,Jainism andSikhism.Islamshares common terms with theAbrahamic religionsthose religionsclaiming descent from theprophetAbrahambeing, from oldest toyoungest,Judaism,Christianity,Islam.

TheQur'an is the primary Islamic scripture. Muslims believe it to be theverbatim, uncreated word of Allah. Second to this in religious authority, andwhence many practices of Islam derive, especially forSunnis,aretheSunnisix major collections ofhadth,which are traditional records ofthesayings and acts ofMuhammad.The scriptures of Hinduism arethe Shrutis(the fourVedas,which comprise the original Vedic Hymns, orSamhitas, and three tiers of commentaries upon the Samhitas, namely theBrahmanas, Aranyakas and Upanishads[1]); these are consideredauthentic, authoritative divine revelation.
