Islamic Belief [in Allah]In the Light of the Qur’an and the Sunnah
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
‘Aqeedah – Definition & Explanation Linguistic meaning Root meanings: belief, ideology, firmly
grounded, tied, binding contract. Islamic meaning Beliefs and knowledge held in the heart
without any doubt. Relationship between ‘aqeedah and ‘amal
Belief in matter of al-ghaib ‘Aqeedah can be correct or false Divine Communication (sometimes called
“revelation”) is its sole possible source. Only found today in the last and protected
divine message. Correct ‘Aqeedah is an absolute necessity
for balance and success in both realms.
‘Aqeedah not mentioned in Qur’an or Hadith Allah praised Iman and its people. ‘Aqeedah is the foundation in the heart of iman
which also includes deeds. Abu Hanifa’s opinion a semantic, not an actual
difference. “That which is established in the heart and the
actions confirm/validate it.” (hadith) NOT mere “knowledge” (gnosis) Iblis and Pharaoh both had complete knowledge of
Allah, but no correct ‘aqeedah or iman.
Iman includes deeds and that is the realm of the Shari’a.
A deficiency in either is a deficiency in Iman.
As such, both the “root” (‘aqeedah) and the “branches” (deeds) must be maintained.
No exemption for ability in the area of ‘aqeedah. Whoever rejects the ‘Aqeedah of Islam wholly or
partially is a disbeliever. ‘Aqeedah is interconnected and it is not possible
to believe in one part but not in another. Kufr can be by rejection, words, deeds or
omissions. Rejection of disbelievers for their disbelief is a
must. Who will be kafir before Allah?
Sins detract and indicate a lack in Iman.
But, they cannot remove one from Iman to Kufr.
Shirk is what cannot be forgiven. Shirk is what removes one from Islam. Sins can result in punishment, but not
eternal.
Accused Muslims of kufr for any major sin. Discussion of their “evidence”. Refutation. Meaning of disowning and kufr in certain
hadith. The difference between failing to judge by
the Shari’a in an instance vs. enforcing kaafir laws and making war against the Shari’a.
