Allah(God) is the true creator of this world
﷽
The first belief in Islam is faith and it simply means that what the
Prophet of Islam Muhammadﷺ taught
is to be accepted as true. Belief in Allah and in reality, it is. To be honest,
the other two major beliefs, which are the end of Prophethood and the Hereafter,
all revolve around it - we'll be talking about the six beliefs. The Holy Qur'an
says:
“قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
، اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ ، لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا
أَحَدٌ”
Say, ˹O Prophet, ˺ “He is Allah—One ˹and Indivisible˺; Allah—the Sustainer
˹needed by all. He has never had offspring, nor was He born. And there is none
comparable to Him.” (Chapter112 Verse1-4)
“يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ
آمَنُواْ آمِنُواْ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَالْكِتَابِ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ عَلَى
رَسُولِهِ وَالْكِتَابِ الَّذِيَ أَنزَلَ مِن قَبْلُ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِاللَّهِ
وَمَلائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلالاً
بَعِيدًا”
O believers! Have faith in Allah, His
Messenger, the Book He has revealed to His Messenger, and the Scriptures He
revealed before. Indeed, whoever denies Allah, His angels, His Books, His
messengers, and the Last Day has clearly gone far astray. (chapter 4verse 136)
“إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا
الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ”
It is certainly We Who have
revealed the Reminder, and it is certainly We Who will preserve it. (Chapter 15 verse 9)
وَنَضَعُ
ٱلْمَوَٰزِينَ ٱلْقِسْطَ لِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ فَلَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌۭ شَيْـًۭٔا
ۖ وَإِن كَانَ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍۢ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ أَتَيْنَا بِهَا ۗ وَكَفَىٰ
بِنَا حَـٰسِبِينَ
We will set up the scales of justice on the Day
of Judgment, so no soul will be wronged in the least. And ˹even˺ if a deed is the
weight of a mustard seed, we will bring it forth. And sufficient are We as a
˹vigilant˺ Reckoner.
(Chapter 16 verse 36)
And of course, we'll talk about the six beliefs, the angels, the heavenly
books, the hereafter, predestination, but really, it's all about one God and
all these other elements and tenets of belief really reinforce the belief in a
supreme almighty God. give So these are really about God and the six basic
beliefs, so if we count them, see that there is God, these are the angels,
these are the messengers, these are the books, this is the last day, and this
is destiny, they are all about Allah.
absolutely I mean if each as we will you know explore them later on we you
will see that really they all come back to Allah (God) the angels the books
it's all about god communicating god talking to his people and of course you
know that is the only way that we can know God so where does one look to find
what these beliefs are there creeds are there books I mean well of course the
first and foremost source is the glorious Quran itself you know that is the
source and package it nicely into a creed similar to the Christian creed and we
have many uh popular ones and the one which the Hanafi's in particular world
over and the ashari's use is called Aqedah nasafi the beliefs of the great
teacher of the 11th century nasafi the beliefs are real there are three ways of
looking at the Islamic creed slightly different from one another there is the
humbly way and then there is the ashore way and then there is the maturity the
contents are the same it's just the style and it is just the tone and the tenor
in which they are and sometimes details actually that's the only difference but
otherwise I mean they are actually the same in in many respects it's in a way
it's accepting god as the creator of the universe it is accepting that this is
the reality really and it's actually in many ways we can compare it to a
spectacle you know how we it gives us a world view how we view the world how we
view ourselves and how we view the world in relation to this creator really so
it's a it builds an attitude it builds a mindset it builds a particular world
view that is what beliefs are really and by looking through this beliefs system
you begin to see the world differently from people who might not have that
belief really so it is a very fundamental way of understanding the world and
seeing the world and understanding what's around you know there is this notion
that um belief gives you this basis of relating with your creator and therefore
trying to please and to really um live his will really and so the works are
really putting into action what your faith teaches you so it's really that the
relationship is very close that you know the beliefs really have to be
expressed physically and that's what we're about really and the works are
really the deeds are really expression of our love and relationship with God
decrease because I know that's a fascinating debate amongst the Muslim scholars
and there is one view which is very simply that no you know faith doesn't
actually increase it's like all or none in physiology you know you need to
reach a certain threshold once you've reached that threshold and you've crossed
it that's it doesn't really matter after that so it's actually meaning you've
entered the pale of Islam you've entered the boundaries of Islam and that's it
but of course there is the other view that no faith keeps on increasing as your
deeds and then as your relationship and as your connection develops with the
almighty.
