    What are the six articles of faith in Islam?

    Islam helps us develop a close relationship with Allah by first telling us what to believe
    in (the 6 Articles of Faith) and then explaining how to implement these beliefs in our
    lives (the 5 Pillars of Islam). Muslims believe in the following six Articles of Faith.

    1. To believe in the Oneness of God

    The word Allah used in Islam in the personal name of God and literally means The
    One.

    2. To believe in the Angels.


    Allah created the angels so that they could worship Him and follow His orders. These
    angels, with Allah’s command, maintain and control the whole universe. Angels can
    also be understood as human beings with all attributes of perfect spirituality.Muslims
    believe in the existence of angels, unseen beings created by God to carry out various
    tasks. Angels play roles such as delivering God's messages to prophets, recording
    human deeds, and managing the affairs of the universe according to God's will.

    3. To believe in the Books of Allah:


    Muslims believe that Allah revealed His laws in stages to mankind through His
    prophets, and therefore accept the Torah of Moses (peace be upon them), the
    Psalms of David (pbuh) and the Gospel of Jesus (pbuh) as Holy books, as well as
    the sacred scriptures of all other messengers of Allah. However, Muslims
    believe that all such revelations were limited to a specific time and people and
    are not preserved in their original purity, but subject to distortions. All the Holy
    Scriptures culminated in, and were perfected in, the Holy Quran (just as all
    religions were perfected in Islam).

    4. To believe in all the Prophets: The Prophets of Allah are chosen from among
    human beings. They set the best examples of moral and spiritual conduct. They
    lead mankind to Allah by conveying the Divine revelation and also by their own
    example of purity and righteousness. Muhammad (pbuh) is the chief of the
    Prophets, and he brought perfect guidance for us from Allah. He came as a
    blessing for mankind.
    5. To believe in the Day of Judgment: One of the most emphasized beliefs in the
    Holy Quran is the belief in the Day of Judgment. Islam teaches that physical
    death is not the end of man’s existence, rather it is the door to a higher form of
    life which can bring one closer to Allah, depending on one’s deeds in this life.
    According to the Holy Quran, on the Day of Judgment this entire universe will
    come to an end, and the dead will be resurrected. Their deeds will be judged
    and they will be rewarded accordingly. Those with good records will merit
    Heaven, while those with bad deeds will be punished in Hell. This belief
    provides a powerful accountability tool in this life as well, meaning that
    ultimately the accountability for our actions and deeds is with Allah, the
    Almighty in the hereafter.
    6. To believe in the Divine Decree: Divine Decree means the Will of Allah. Muslims
    believe that Divine Decree controls the eventual outcome of all actions in this
    universe. It is the law or measure of a thing with regard to its growth and
    development. In the Holy Quran, the term is explained as a universal law of
    Allah which is working through the whole of creation, extending throughout the
    universe. Within the boundaries of Divine Decree, man is given free will.
