The Six Pillars of Belief (Template:Lang-ar) are fundamental beliefs in Islam that form the basis of a Muslim's faith and practice. These beliefs are often referred to as the articles of faith. While the Five Pillars of Islam are the core practices of the religion, the Six Pillars of Belief outline the basic tenets of Islamic theology.
The Six Pillars of Belief are:
- Belief in One God (Tawhid): Muslims believe in the absolute unity of God, known as Allah in Arabic. This belief is the cornerstone of Islam and is expressed in the Islamic creed, known as the Shahada.
- Belief in the Angels (Mala'ika): Muslims believe in the existence of angels, who are spiritual beings created by Allah to carry out His commands.
- Belief in the Books of God (Kutubullah): Muslims believe in the divine books revealed by Allah to various prophets, including the Quran, which is considered the final and most complete revelation.
- Belief in the Prophets of God (Anbiya'): Muslims believe in the prophets and messengers sent by Allah to guide humanity, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, among others.
- Belief in the Day of Judgment (Yawm al-Qiyamah): Muslims believe in the Day of Judgment when all individuals will be resurrected and judged by Allah based on their deeds.
- Belief in Divine Decree (Qadar): Muslims believe in the concept of divine decree, or Qadar, which encompasses Allah's knowledge of all things, His preordainment of all events, and His control over the universe.
These six beliefs are considered essential for a Muslim's faith and are often taught from a young age. They serve as a foundation for understanding Islamic theology and guide moral and ethical behaviour.
