A
Muslim believes in One God, Allah, Supreme and Eternal, Infinite and Mighty,
Merciful & Compassionate, Creator and Provider. This belief, in order to be
effective, requires complete trust and hope in Allah, submission to His Will and
reliance on His aid. It secures man’s dignity and saves him from fear and
despair, from guilt and confusion.
The
Qur’an is in his hand complete and authentic. Nothing of it is missing and no
more of it is expected. Its authenticity is beyond doubt, and no serious scholar
or thinker has ventured to question its genuineness. The Qur’an was made so by
Allah Who revealed it and made it incumbent upon Himself to protect it against
interpolation and corruption of all kinds. Thus, it is given to the Muslims as
the standard or criterion by which all the other books are judged. So whatever
agrees with the Qur’an is accepted as Divine truth, and whatever differs from
the Qur’an is either rejected or suspended.
The
Muslim believes in the angels of Allah too. They are purely spiritual and
splendid beings who require no food nor drink nor sleep. They have no physical
desires of any kind nor material needs. They spend their days and nights in the
service of Allah. There are many of them, and each one is charged with a
certain duty. If we cannot see the angels with our naked eyes, it does not
necessarily deny their actual existence. There are many things in the world
that are invisible to the eye or inaccessible to the senses, and yet we do
believe in their existence. Belief in the angels originates from the Islamic
principle that knowledge and truth are not entirely confined to the sensory
knowledge or sensory perception alone.
