In the Name of Allah,
The Most Merciful, Most Beneficent
All praise be to Allah. We praise Him, seek His help, forgiveness and turn to Him in repentance. We seek refuge with Allah from the harms of our souls and evil consequences of our deeds.
Whomever Allah guides to the straight path, no one can lead such a person to go astray. And whomever Allah decides to astray, no one can guide such a person to the straight path.
I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah. He is Alone and has no partner. I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave (servant) and Messenger. May Allah bestow His peace and blessings be upon him, his family members, his Companions and upon those who follow the Righteous Predecessors until the Day of Judgment.
The knowledge of the Islamic creed and belief is one of the noble types of information, to be acquired with immense respect and significance.
Believing in Allah is the most magnificent and scholarly branch of knowledge compared to all other information obtained in this worldly life.
This forms the most fundamental of the six basic principles of the divine faith.
Allah said,
لَيْسَ الْبِرَّ أَنْ تُوَلُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَلَكِنَّ الْبِرَّ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ اْلآخِرِ وَالْمَلاَئِكَةِ وَالْكُتُبِ وَالنَّبِيِّينَ
“It is not Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, and each and every act of obedience to Allah, etc.) that you turn your faces towards east and (or) west (in prayers); but Al-Birr is (the quality of) the one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, and the Prophets.” [Surah Al-Baqarah 2:177].
When the Archangel Jibreel (Gabriel) asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) about the divine faith, he replied saying,
«أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاللهِ، وَمَلاَئِكَتِهِ، وَكُتُبِهِ، وَرُسُلِهِ، وَالْيَوْمِ اْلآخِرِ وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدْرِ خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ» - رواه البخاري كتاب الإيمان (50) ومسلم كتاب الإيمان (8).
“It is to believe in Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the Last Day, and to believe in divine destiny, both the good and the evil thereof.”[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Believing in Allah is the key for every success and to achieve the ultimate happiness in this life and the Hereafter. Allah has revealed the divine scriptures to the Prophets and Messengers in order for them to convey His message and thus implanting and affirming the very conviction of Allah in the hearts of every human being.
This booklet discusses with a main focus on the following points:
* Significance of believing in Allah.
* Implications of believing in Allah.
* The substantiation of the oneness and unity of Allah.
* Advantages and fruits of believing in Allah.
* The Contradiction to concept of believing in Allah.
* Significance of atheism.
* The reasons of atheism.
* How atheism entered the Muslim world.
* The consequences of atheism.
I am thankful to Allah for the truth, courage and inspiration to discuss on these important topics. Allah is true and all the truth comes from Him. However, I seek refuge from Allah to save me from the temptation of Satan, whose work is always to mislead the people from the path of righteousness.
