BELIEF IN WHAT HAPPENS IN THE GRAVE

• WE believe in the Trial of the Grave, which is the questioning of the dead person in his grave about his Lord, his religion and about his Prophet. There “Allah confirms those who believe with the confirm say, in the present life and the Hereafter.” (14:27) The believer will say: “Allah is my Lord, Islam is my religion and Muhammad, peace be upon him, is my Prophet.” The unbeliever or the hypocrite will say: “I don’t know, I heard the people saying something and I said it.”
• We believe in the comfort of the grave for the believers. “Those who lives the angels take in state of purity, saying ‘peace be on you; enter Paradise for what you were doing.” (16:32)
• We believe in punishment of the grave for the transgressing unbelievers: “If you could only see when the evildoers are in the agonies of death and the angels are stretching out their hands, saying, ‘Give up your souls! Today you shall be rewarded with the punishment of humiliation for what you used to say untruly about Allah, and for scornfully rejecting His signs.” (6:93) The sayings of the Prophet are numerous and well known in this area. A Muslim must believe in all that is reported in the Quran and the Prophetic traditions concerning the unseen matters. He should not contradict by his worldly experience because the affairs of the Hereafter cannot be measured by the affairs of his life. The difference between them is very great. Allah is the source of help.

BELIEF IN THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT & RESURRECTION

• We believe in the Final Day, which is the Day of Judgment, when people will be resurrected alive to remain in the abode of enjoyment or in the abode of severe punishment.
• We believe in Resurrection which is Allah,s bringing to life all the dead when Israfil blows the Horn for the second time, "And the Trumpet shall be blown and all who are in the Heavens and who are in Earth shall fall down fainting except those that Allah shall spare. Then, it shall be blown again and they shall rise gazing around them."(39:68)People will stand up from their graves, answering the call of the Lord of the Universe. They are going to be bare-footed, naked, and uncircumcised, "As we stated the first creation, so We shall bring it back again. This is a promise from Us, so We shall assuredly fulfill it."(21:104)

ISLAM: THE UNIVERSAL AND FINAL MESSAGE

We believe that the Shari‘ah of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him , is the religion of Islam which Allah has chosen for His servants and does not accepts from anyone other religion, because Allah, the Exalted said, “Surely, the true religion in Allah’s sight is Islam” (3:19), and He also said, “Today I have perfected your religion for you and I have completed My favour upon you and I have chosen Islam to be your religion.” (5:3) And “Whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.” (3:85

It is our opinion that who claims the acceptability of any religion existing today -other than Islam – such as Judaism, Christianity and so forth, is a non believer. He should be asked to repent, if he does not, he must be killed as an apostate because he rejecting the Qur’an.

It is also our opinion that whoever rejects the universal message of Muhammad, peace be upon him, is rejecting the message of all messengers, even if he claims that he believes and follows His messengers. Allah, the Exalted said, “Noah’s people rejected the messengers.” (26:105) Thus, Allah considered them rejecting all the messengers despite the fact that there was no messenger before Noah. This is also clear from the following verses: “Those who disbelieve in Allah and His messengers, and wish to make division between Allah and His messengers, and say: ‘We believe in some and disbelieve in others,’ wishing to take a midway course. Those indeed are the unbelievers, and We have prepared for the unbelievers a humiliating punishment.” (4:150-51)

We believe that there is no prophet after Muhammad, Allah’s messenger, peace be upon him, as Allah said: “Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets.” (33:40) Whoever claims prophet hood after him, or believes in anyone claiming it, is a disbeliever because he is rejecting Allah, His messenger, and the Muslims’ consensus. 

MESSENGERS ARE HUMAN BEINGS

• We believe that all messengers are created human beings who have none of the divine qualities of Allah. Allah, the Exalted, said about Noah who was the first among them, "I do not say to you, I possess the treasures of Allah,' I do not know the unseen, and I do not say: 'I am an angel'."(11:31) Allah directed Muhammad who is the last among them to say: "I do not say to you I possess the treasures of Allah, nor do I know the unseen and do not say to you 'I am an angel'."(6:50) And to say: I have no power to bring profit or hurt for myself, but as Allah wills."(7:188) And also to say: "I have no power to hurt or benefit you. Say none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find any refuge besides Him."(72:21-22)

The last and beloved  Messenger  of Allah

• We believe that that the messengers are among Allah's servants. He blessed them with the message and described them with as servants, in the context of praising and honouring them. So, He says about Noah, the first among them: "You are the descendants of those whom We carried with Noah, he was a truly thankful servant."(17:3)
• Allah said about the last among them, Muhammad, peace be upon him: "Blessed be He who sent down the Quran to His servant, that he may warn mankind."(25:1) He said about some other messengers: "And mention our servants Abraham,Issac and Jacob men of might and vision."(38:45) "And remember our servants David who was a mighty and penitent man."(38:17) "And to David, We gave Solomon, he was an excellent and penitent man."(38:30)  Allah said about Jesus,son of Mary(Maryam):"He is only a servant whom We blessed and We made him an example to the children of Israel."(63:59)
• We believe that Allah concluded all messages with the message of Muhammad, peace be upon him, to all people because Allah said:"Say 'O mankind, I am Allah's messenger to you all. To Him belongs the Kingdom of Heavens and the Earth; There is no god but He. He ordains life and death. so believes in Allah and His words. Follow him so that you may be rightly guided." (7:158)

Belief in Messengers

• We believe that Allah has sent to His people messengers who were "bringing good tidings and warning, so that mankind might have no argument against Allah after the messengers. Allah is Almighty, all-wise" (4:165)
• We believe that first among the Messengers is Noah and the last is Muhammad, peace be upon them all. "We revealed to you as We revealed to Noah and the Prophets after him"(4:163)"Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but the Messengers of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets".

THE BEST MESSENGERS

•            We believe that the best among the messengers is Muhammad, then Abraham, then Moses, then Noah and then Jesus, son of Mary (Maryam). It is they who are meant by the following Quranic verse: "And we took compact from the Prophets, and from you, and from Noah, and Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, son of Mary (Maryam). We took from them a solemn compact." (33:7)
•            We believe that Muhammad's message, peace be upon him, includes all the merits of the messages of those dignified messengers because Allah says, "He ordained for you that he enjoined on Noah and what He revealed to you and what He enjoined on Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, namely, established this faith and be united in it." (42:13)

THE QUR’AN IS PROTECTED FROM CHANGE BUT OTHER BOOKS ARE NOT.

•  The Qur’an is“Confirming the scripture that was before it and stands as a guardian over it. ”Thus, by the Qur’an Allah abrogated all the Books. Allah has also guaranteed its protection from any play or mischievous distortion. “Indeed, We sent down the message and We will guard it.” (15:9) That is because the Qur’an is a proof against mankind till the Day of Judgement.
• The previous scriptures meant for a limited period that ended with the revelation of what abrogated them and exposed what has taken place in them of distortion and change. That is why they were not protected from corruption. They underwent distortion, addition and omission. “Some of the Jews prevent words from their meanings.” (4:46) “So woe to those who write the Book with their hands, and then say, ‘This is from Allah,’ that they may sell it for little price. So woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for their earnings.” (2:79) “Say, who sent down the Book that Moses brought as a light and a guidance to people? You put it into sheets of paper showing some of them and concealing much.” (6:91) “And there is a group among them who twist their tongues with the Book, that you may think it is a part of Book, but it is not a part of Book. And they say ‘it is from Allah,’ yet it is not from Allah, and they tell a lie against Allah and they know it. It is not for any human being to whom Allah has given the Book, the Wisdom and the Prophet Hood to say to men “Worship me instead of Allah” (3:78-79) “People of the Book! Our Messenger has come to you, making clear to you many things you have been concealing for the Book and forgive you much. A light has come to you from Allah and a Glorious Book, with which He will guide whoever follows His pleasure in the way of peace, and bring them forth from darkness into the light by His will.” (5:15-16)http://www.islamicbook.ws/english/

BELIEFE IN ALLAH’S BOOKS

·        We believe that Allah revealed Books to His Messengers as proof against mankind  and guidance for the righteous workers. They purified and taught them wisdom by these Books.

·        We believe that Allah sent down a Book with every Messenger because He says “Indeed We sent down our Messengers with the clear signs, and we sent down with them the Book and the Balance so that people may hold justice.” (57:25)

BOOKS KNOWN

Among these Books we know the following:

1.   The Torah which was revealed to Moses, peace be upon him. It is the greatest among the Israelites’ books. “Surely We sent down the Torah, wherein is guidance and light; by its laws the Jews have been judge by the Prophets who surrendered themselves to Allah, the rabbis and the doctors of laws because they were entrusted the protection of Allah’s Book and were witnesses thereto.” (5:44)

2.   The Gospel which Allah revealed to Jesus, peace be upon him. It is the confirmation of the Torah and a complement to it. “And We gave him the Gospel, wherein is guidance and light and confirming the Torah before it, as a guidance and an admonition to the god fearing.” (5:46) “And to make lawful to you certain things that, before, were forbidden to you.” (3:50)

3.   The Psalms which Allah gave to David, peace be upon him.

4.   Tablets of Abraham and Moses, peace be upon them.

5.   The Glorious Qur’an which was revealed to His Prophet Muhammad, (Sal allaho Alaihi Wasallum) the Seal of the Prophets. It is “A guidance to the people and clear signs of guidance and criterion between right and wrong.”(2:185)http://www.understandquran.com/home.html

ANGEL’S FUNCTIONS

·        We believe that the angels are assigned certain function. Among the angels is Gabriel who is entrusted with revelation. He brings it down from Allah to whomever He wishes among His Prophets and Messengers.

·        Angels are concealed from us, we can not see them. Allah may show them to some of His servants. The Prophet Muhammad saw Gabriel in his real shape with six hundred wings that covered the horizons (Bukhari & Muslim). Gabriel took the form of handsome human being who met Mary (Maryam) and exchanged conversation with her. He came to the Prophet while he was among his companions in the appearance of unknown man who did not show any trace of long travel with very white clothes and very black hair. He sat facing the Prophet: his knees to the Prophet’s knees, peace be upon him, and his palms on the Prophet’s thighs and talked with the Prophet. The Prophet later told his companions that the man they saw was Gabriel (Bukhari & Muslim).Among them is Michael who is in charge of rain and plantation. Among them is also Israfil who is in charge of blowing the Horn at the time of Thunder bolting and Resurrection.  Among them is the Angel of death, Izreil who takes people’s souls at the time of death. Among the angels is the one who is in charge of mountain; the Malik, the keeper of Hell.

·        Some angels are in charge of embryos in wombs, others are responsible for protecting the human beings and other angels are busy in recording men’s deeds: two angels for every persons, “When the two angels receive (his deeds), one sitting on the right and one on the left, not a word he utters but by him, is an observer ready.” (50:18)

·        Some other angels are in charge of questioning the deed after he is put in his last abode. Two angels come to him and ask him about his Lord, his religion, and his Prophet. There “Allah confirms those believe with the firm say, in the present and the Hereafter, and Allah astray the evildoers and Allah does what He wills.” (14:27)

·        Some angels are the in charge of the dwellers of Paradise: “The angels enter to them from every gate, saying ‘peace be upon you for that you were patient. How excellent is your final home.” (13:24)The Prophet, peace be upon him, told us that seventy thousand angels enter to pray in the Populous House in Heaven every day. They never come back to it as long as they live.” (because there turn will never come)

(Bukhari & Muslim).

BELIEFE IN ANGELS

·        We belief in the existence of the angels of Allah and that they “honored servants. They do not speak before he does, and they act only by His commands.” (21:26) “Allah created them and they worshipped obeyed Him. Those who are its presence do not disdain to worship Him, nor do they weary.” (21:19)

·        Angels are concealed from us, we can not see them. Allah may show them to some of His servants. The Prophet Muhammad saw Gabriel in his real shape with six hundred wings that covered the horizons (Bukhari & Muslim). Gabriel took the form of handsome human being who met Mary (Maryam) and exchanged conversation with her. He came to the Prophet while he was among his companions in the appearance of unknown man who did not show any trace of long travel with very white clothes and very black hair. He sat facing the Prophet: his knees to the Prophet’s knees, peace be upon him, and his palms on the Prophet’s thighs and talked with the Prophet. The Prophet later told his companions that the man they saw was Gabriel (Bukhari & Muslim).

Allah's Words (The Books)

   We believe that Allah speaks whatever He pleases whenever He pleases “And Allah spoke to Moses directly.” (4:164) “And when Moses came at Our appointed place, and his Lord spoke to him.” (7:143) “We called him from the right side of Mount (Sinai), and We brought him near the communion.” (19:52) We believe that “If the ocean became ink for the words of my Lord, the ocean would be finished before the words of my Lords came to an end.” (18:109) “And if all the trees that are in the Earth were pens, and the ocean (were ink), with seven ocean swelling it therefore, the words of Allah would not be exhausted. Surely, Allah is Mighty, Wise.” 31:27   We believe that Allah words are the most truthful in conveying information, the most just in ruling, and the fairest in conversation. He said, “The word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and justice” (6:115) “And who is more  truthful in his  words than Allah?”(4:74)   We believe that the Qur’an is Allah’s words. He literally spoke  it to Gabriel who conveyed it to the prophet, peace be upon him: “ Say (O Muhammad) the Holy Spirit has brought it down from our Lord in truth.” (16:102) “Truly it is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds brought down upon your heart by Faithful Spirit so that you  may be one of the warners, in a clear Arabic tongue.” (26:192 -­­­­­5)   We believe that Allah is well above is well His person and His Attributes, because He  says, He is the High, the great.”(2:255) He is supreme over His servants, and He is the Wise, the All-aware.”(6:18)We believe that He is with His creatures while He is still on His Throne. He Knows their conditions. Hear their sayings, sees their deeds and manage their affairs. He provides for the poor and broken. He gives sovereignty to whom He please and take away sovereignty from whom He please: He exalts whom He wills and He abases whom He wills. In His hand is all good and Hi is powerful over everything. Whoever possesses these qualities is literally with His creatures even  if He is literally above them on his Throne.” There is nothing whatsoever like unto Him; He is All-hearing and All-seeing.” (42:11)

Allah is All Knowing everything

We believe that to Him belongs the kingdom of the Heavens and the Earth: “He creates what He pleases. He gives, to whom He wills, females, and He gives, to whom He wills, males, or He couples them, males and females; and He makes whom He wills barren. Surely, He is the Knowing, the Powerful.” (42:49-50We believe that “ There is nothing whatever like unto Him, He is the All-Hearing, the All Seeing. To Him belongs the keys of the Heavens and the Earth. He enlarges and restricts provision to whom He wills. Surely He has knowledge of everything.” (42:11-12).We believe that “There is no creature that moves in the Earth but its provision depends on Allah. He knows its dwelling and its resting place. All is recorded in the clear Book.” (11:6)We believe that “With Him are the keys of the Unseen; none knows them but He. He knows what is in land and in sea; not a leaf falls, but He Knows it. Not a grain in deep darkness of the Earth, not a thing green or dry but it is in a clear Book.” (6:59)We believe that “Allah alone has the knowledge of the hour, sends down rain, and knows what is in the wombs. No soul knows what it earn tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land shall it die. Surely, Allah is All Knowing, All Aware.” (31:34)

Belief in Allah's Lordship, Oneness, and Attributes

We  as a Muslims has creed  to believe in Allah ,

His Angels , His Books , His Messengers , The Day of judgment, and the Fate whether good or bad.

We believe in Allah's Divinity, that is the Lord, the creator, the Sovereign, and the Managers of all affairs.

We believe in Allah's God-ship; that is, He is the True God and every other deity is false.

We believe in His name and attributes, that He has the most magnificent Names an sublime perfect Attributes.

We believe in Oneness in all this, that is, He has no associate in his Divinity in ,

 His God-Ship, His Names, or His Attribute.
