Beliefs About the Prophets

1. Allah has sent many Prophets to guide mankind onto the right path. All of them are all free from sins. Their actual number is known to Allah alone. In order to establish their truthfulness, Allah enabled them to do certain things which others could not do. Such acts are called miracles (mu’jizaat).The first Prophet is Aadam (alayhis salaam) and the last is Muhammad (SAW). There were others in between these two. Some of them are famous, such as: Nuh alayhis salaam, Ibrahim alayhis salaam, Is’haaq alayhis salaam, Ismail alayhis salaam, Yaqub alayhis salaam, Yusuf alayhis salaam, Daood alayhis salaam, Sulayman alayhis salaam, Ayyub alayhis salaam, Musa alayhis salaam, Harun alayhis salaam, Zakariyyah alayhis salaam, Yahya alayhis salaam, Isa alayhis salaam, Ilyas alayhis salaam, al-Yasa’ alayhis salaam, Yunus alayhis salaam, Lut alayhis salaam, Idris alayhis salaam, Zul Kifl alayhis salaam, Salih alayhis salaam, Hud alayhis salaam, and Shuayb alayhis salaam.
2. Allah has not disclosed the exact number of Prophets to anyone. We should therefore resolved to have faith in all the Prophets of Allah, those that we know and those we have no knowledge of.
3. The status of some Prophets is higher than that of others. The highest status is that of our Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. No Prophet will come after him. He is the Prophet of all mankind and jinn right until the day of qiyamah.

4. Allah took our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam physically while he was awake, from Makkah to Baitul Maqdis, and from there to the seven heavens, and from there to wherever He wanted. He then sent him back to Makkah. This journey is known as the Mi’raj.

Beliefs About Angels and Jinn

After creating certain creatures from light, Allah concealed them from our sight. These creatures are called angels. A lot of work has been entrusted to them. They never do anything contrary to the orders of Allah. They  do whatever work has been assigned to them. Among them, four angels are very famous. They are: Hadrat Jibra’eel alayhis salaam, Hadrat Mika’eel alayhis salaam, Hadrat Israfeel alayhis salaam, and Hadrat Izra’eel alayhis salaam.

Allah created certain creatures from fire. We cannot see them too. They are called jinn. There are good and bad jinns. They also have children. The most famous among them is the accursed Iblis, i.e. Shaytaan.

Beliefs About the Awliya (Friends of Allah)

1. When a Muslim engages in an abundance of ibaadah, abstains from sins, does not become attached to the world, and follows the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in every way, he becomes the friend and beloved of Allah. Such a person is called a wali. At times, a wali does certain acts which cannot be done by others. These acts are called karamaat (miracles, or noble and excellent deeds).
2. No matter how high a stage a wali may attain, he will never be equal to a Prophet.
3. No matter how beloved a wali is to Allah, he is not absolved of observing Shariah. Salah, fasting, and other act of worship must be observed and sinful deeds should be avoided.
4. The person who acts contrary to the Shariah cannot be a friend of Allah. If he does some miraculous act, then it is either magic or something enacted through the influence of the soul or satan. These things should not be believed in.
5. At times, a wali comes to know of certain mysterious things either in his sleep or while awake. This is known as kashf or ilhaam (manifestations or inspirations). If these things are in conformity with the Shariah, they are acceptable, if not, they have to be rejected.
6. Allah and His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam have shown all the matters pertaining to the Deen in the Quran and Ahadith. To introduce new thing into religion is not permitted. Such new things are known as bid’aat (innovations). An innovation is a major sin.

Beliefs About Heavenly Books

Allah has sent down many small and large books through the angel Jibra’eel alayhis salaam to the Prophets so that they may teach the matters of religion to their respective communities. Among these books, four are very famous: the Torah which was sent to Prophet Musa alayhis salaam, the Zabur which was sent to Daood alayhis salaam, the Injil which was sent to Prophet Isa alayhis salaam, and the Quran which was sent to our Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. The Quran is the last of the books and no new book will be revealed now. The instructions of the Quran will remain valid right until the day of qiyaamah. Misguided people changed a lot of things in the other books. But Allah has promised the protection of the Quran. No one can change it in any way.

Beliefs About the Sahabah (Companions of Prophet)

1. Those Muslims who have seen our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and have died as Muslims, are known as Sahabah. Very virtues have been described about them. We must love and think good of all of them. If we hear of dispute or disagreement  among them, we should regard it as a genuine misunderstanding or a miscalculation. We should not speak ill of them.
2. Four Companions are most prominent: Hadrat Abu Bakr Siddiq radiallahu anhu. He took the place of Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and supervised the matters of the religion. He is therefore called the first Khalifah. He is the best person in the entire ummat. After him comes Hadrat Umar radiallahu anhu. He is the second Khalifah. After him is the third Khalifah, Hadrat Uthman radiallahu anhu. After him is the fourth Khalifah, Hadrat Ali radiallahu anhu.
3. The status of the Sahabah is so high that even the greatest of walis cannot reach a stage equal to the lowest Sahabi.
4. All the children and wives of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam are worthy of respect. Among his children, Hadrat Fatima radiallahu anha has the highest status. Among his wives, Hadrat Khadija and Hadrat Aisha radiallahu anhuma have the highest status.

General Beliefs

1. One’s Imaan (faith) is complete only when one regards Allah and His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as true in every respect and accepts everything from them. To doubt any aspect of Allah and His Propet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, or to reject it, or to find faults with it, or to mock at it will remove faith.
2. To reject the clear meanings of the Quran and Ahadith, or to interpret them according to ones own ideas amounts to disbelief.
3. To regard a sin as permissible removes faith.
4. No matter how serious a sin may be, as long as it is regarded as a sin, faith is retained though it gets weaker.
5. To be absolutely fearless of Allah, or to despair of His mercy amounts to kufr (disbelief infidility).
6. To ask someone of unseen things (ghayb) and to believe in that is kufr.
7. No one knows the unseen except Allah. However, certain things are made known to Prophets through revelations (wahi), to walis through manifestations and inspirations (kashf and ilhaam), and to ordinary people through signs.
8. To call a person a kafir (disbeliever) by name or to curse him is a major sin. However, we can say in general terms: Allah’s curse be on the oppressors, or Allah’s curse be on the liars. If Allah and His Rasul sallallahu alayhi wa sallam have cursed someone specifically by name, or informed us of them being kafir; it will not be a sin for us to call them kafir or mal’un (accursed).
9. When a person dies and if he is buried, then after he is buried; and if he is not buried, then in whatever state he may be in; two angels come to him. One’s name is Munkar and the other is Nakeer. They come and ask him: “Who is your creator? What is your Deen?” and pointing to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, “Who is this person?” If the deceased was a strong believer, he will answer all the questions correctly. Thereafter there will be all sorts of comforts for him. They will open a window towards jannah from which a cool and fragrant breeze will continue blowing and he will continue sleeping peacefully. As for the one who was not a believer, to all the questions he will reply that he does not know anything. Thereafter, he will be subjected to great hardships and punishment right until the day of qiyaamah. Allah Ta’ala exempts some people from this test, but all these things are known to the deceased only. We cannot see these things, just as a sleeping person sees everything in his dream, while a person sitting next to him remains totally unaware.
10. The deceased is shown his abode every morning and evening. A jannati (dweller of paradise) is given glad tidings by being shown his abode in paradise, while a jahannami (dweller of hell) is shown his abode in hell and thereby made more despondent and wretched.
11. We can make dua for the deceased and give charity on his behalf. Rewards reach him and be very beneficial for him.
12. All the signs of qiyaamah as foretold by Allah and His Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam will definitely occur. Imam Mahdi will appear and will rule with absolute justice. The one-eyed Dajjal will appear and cause a lot of corruption in the world. Hadrat Isa alayhis salaam will come down from the heavens in order to kill him and will succeed in killing him. Yajuj and Majuj are a very powerful people. They will spread all over the world and create a lot of mischief. Then Allah will destroy them. A strange animal will come out from the earth and converse with people. The sun will rise from the west. The Quran will be raised and within a few days all the Muslims will die and the world will be filled with kuffar. Many other incidents will also take place.
13. When all the foretold signs are observed, the Last Day will come. Allah will instruct Hadrat Israfeel alayhis salaam to  blow the trumpet. This trumpet will be in the shape of a very large horn. With the blowing of the trumpet, the earth and skies will be blown into smithereens. All the creatures will die, and those that have already died, their souls will become unconscious. But those whom Allah wishes to protect, will remain as they are. A specific period will pass in this condition.
14. When Allah wishes the entire universe to arise again, the trumpet will be blown a second time. When it is blown, the entire universe will be re-born. All the dead will be brought to life and they will all gather in the field of resurrection. Fearing the difficulties of qiyaamah, they will all approach the Prophets for intercession and Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam will intercede. The scales will be raised and all good and bad deeds will be weighed and accounted for. A few people will enter paradise without reckoning. The pious people will be given their record of deeds in their right hands while the sinners will be given in their left hands. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam will make his followers drink water from the Haud-e-Kauthar (the fountain of abundance). The water of this fountain will be whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. Everyone will also have to cross the Sirat. The pious, will cross it over into paradise. While the sinners, will fall down into hell.
15. Hell has already been created. It has snakes, scorpions and many other types of punishments. Among the dwellers of hell, those that have even an iota of Imaan will be taken out of it and admitted into paradise after having  received the share for their evil deeds, and after their punishment after the intercession of the Prophets and pious slaves of Allah, irrespective of how great sinners they may have been. As for the disbelievers and polytheists (mushrikeen) they will abide therein forever and will not even die.
16. Paradise has also been created and has various types of comforts and luxuries. The dwellers of paradise will have fear or concern whatsoever. They will abide therein forever. They will neither come out of it, nor die.
17. Allah has the full right to punish minor sins or to forgive over major ones and not to punish at all.
18. Allah does not ever forgive kufr or shirk. Apart from this, whatever other sins there may be, He will forgive whoever He wishes out of His mercy.
19. Apart from all those whom Allah and His Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam have named as will enter paradise, we cannot say about anyone else that they will enter paradise. However, we should be optimistic and hopeful of His mercy, when deserving deeds are performed.
20. The greatest bounty in paradise is the vision of Allah. In comparison to this pleasure, all other bounties will be insignificant.
21. While awake, no one has seen Allah with his eyes in this world, nor can anyone see Him.
22. A person may have been good or bad all his life, he will be recompensed according to the state in which he dies.
23. Whenever a person repents or accepts Islam, his repentance or Islam will be accepted by Allah. However, at the time of death, when he is breathing his last and he sees the angels of death, neither repentance nor his accepting Islam will be acceptable.

Incorrect Beliefs and Actions

It seems appropriate here to mention a few incorrect beliefs, evil customs, and major sins which are committed often and which cause a shortcoming in one’s Imaan. We mention them that people may guard themselves from them. Some of them are absolute kufr and shirk, some are very close to that, others are innovations and delusions, while others are sins. It is, therefore, necessary to safeguard one’s self from all of them. A few worldly harms of sinning and worldly benefits of good deeds will be mentioned here. Since people to give more attention to worldly gains and losses, it is hoped that they might be inclined to do good and abstain from evil.
