The Pillars of Faith, or "Rukn al-Iman," in Islam are essential beliefs that
every Muslim is required to accept and embrace. There are six pillars:
Muslims believe in the oneness of Allah, acknowledging Him as the one and
only God, without any partners. For example, they recite the Shahada,
declaring, "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger."
"Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth..." (Quran 24:35)
The Night Journey and Ascension (Isra and Mi'raj) when Prophet
Muhammad was taken from Mecca to Jerusalem and ascended through
the heavens, highlighting Allah's majesty.
2. Belief in Angels:
"He sends down the angels, with the inspiration of His command, upon
whom He wills..." (Quran 16:2)
Muslims believe in all the prophets and messengers sent by Allah, including
Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moosa, Esa, and the final prophet, Muhammad
(peace be upon them).
"Muhammad is not the father of [any] one of your men, but [he is] the
Messenger of Allah..." (Quran 33:40)
The life of Prophet Muhammad, his struggles, and his role as the final
messenger, as well as stories of earlier prophets like Noah, Abrahim,
Moosa, and Esa.
"And the Horn will be blown, and whoever is in the heavens and whoever
is on the earth will fall dead except whom Allah wills..." (Quran 39:68)
"Say, 'Never will we be struck except by what Allah has decreed for us; He
is our protector.' And upon Allah let the believers rely." (Quran 9:51)
These pillars form the foundation of Islamic faith, guiding the beliefs and
practices of Muslims around the world.
