Islamic Belief

Allah is the Arabic name for the One God in Islam: the eternal, unique Creator and Sustainer of all that exists. Belief in Him is the foundation of Islamic faith, expressed in Tawhid, the testimony of faith, and the divine names and attributes.

Angels (mala'ikah) are beings created from light who hold a central place in Islamic theology. Belief in them is one of the six articles of faith; the Quran describes them as servants of God who transmit revelation, record deeds, and act in death and the afterlife.

Predestination (Qadar) is the sixth article of Islamic faith, encompassing divine foreknowledge, the divine decree, and the relationship between God's sovereignty and human responsibility. It drove major early theological debates, producing the Ash'ari and Maturidi Sunni schools.

Tawheed is the fundamental doctrine of Islamic monotheism, asserting the absolute oneness and uniqueness of Allah. It encompasses three categories: Oneness of Lordship, Oneness of Worship, and Oneness of Names and Attributes. This concept forms the foundation of Islamic faith and practice.
