6 Pillars of Faith in Islam

1. Belief in Allah (Faith in God)

Meaning: Believing that Allah is the one and only God, the Creator of everything. He has no partners, children, or equals. He is all-knowing, all-powerful, and merciful.


2. Belief in the Angels (Faith in the Angels)

Meaning: Believing in the existence of angels created by Allah from light. They do not have free will and always obey Allah. Each angel has specific duties, such as delivering revelations, recording deeds, or taking souls.


3. Belief in the Holy Books (Faith in the Revealed Books)

Meaning: Believing that Allah revealed holy scriptures to His messengers as a guide for humanity. These include:

  • The Tawrat (Torah) given to Moses,

  • The Zabur (Psalms) to David,

  • The Injil (Gospel) to Jesus,

  • And the Qur’an to Muhammad, which is the final and unaltered revelation.


4. Belief in the Prophets (Faith in the Messengers)

Meaning: Believing that Allah sent prophets to guide people to the truth. They were human beings chosen by Allah. The final prophet is Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the Seal of the Prophets.


5. Belief in the Day of Judgment (Faith in the Last Day)

Meaning: Believing that life in this world will end one day, and everyone will be resurrected and judged by Allah for their deeds. Based on this judgment, people will be rewarded with Paradise or punished in Hell.


6. Belief in Qadar (Faith in Divine Decree or Predestination)

Meaning: Believing that everything happens according to Allah’s will, knowledge, and plan. This includes both good and bad things. Humans have free will, but Allah’s knowledge encompasses all things past, present, and future.
