FAQ on Muslims Belief

All Praise is due to Allah, Who (Alone) created he heavens and the earth, and originated the darkness and the light; yet those who disbelieve hold others as equal with their Lord. He it is Who has created you Tom clay, and then has decreed a (stated) term (for you to die). And there is with Him another determined term (for you to be resurrected), yet you doubt (in the Resurrection). And He is Allah (to be worshipped Alone) in the heavens and on the earth; He knows what YOU conceal and what you reveal, and He knows what YOU earn (good or bad). I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, Alone. He has no partner. He is Allah, (the) One. He s the Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, (He neither eats nor drinks). He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth: everything renders worship to Him. To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth: when He decrees a matter, He says to it: "Be", and it is. Thy Lord does create and choose as He pleases: no choice have they (in the matter): Glory to Allah! And far is He above the partners they ascribe (to Him)! He cannot be questioned for His Acts, but hey will be questioned (for theirs).

I bear witness that our master and Prophet Muhammad is His Slave and Messenger
whom was sent with guidance and the religion of Truth, to proclaim it over all religion, even though the Pagans may detest (it). May Allan send Peace to him, his
household, and companions who used to adjudicate to the truth and perfect justice.
And, may Allah send Peace to his followers who do not deviate from his Sunnah and,
moreover, they stick to it and defend it against any oppressors. And, may Allah send
Peace to those who follow them till the Day of Resurrection. Then after! This is a summarized book which I hope to be of great benefit to the reader. This book includes the basics of religion and principles of Islamic Monotheism. It shows the Straight Path of the True Religion (Islam). It covers what follows: Iman (Faith), its characteristics and what nullifies or demolishes it. Each statement is supported by clear-cut proofs. I focused on the views of the People of the Sunnah and discarded those of the heretics and deviators from the Straight Path. I mentioned the latter's only when I intended to refute and knock them down. I organized it in the form
of questions and answers to draw the attention of the kind reader.


example:

Q 1: What is the first (religious) obligation on worshippers?
A--- The first religious obligation on worshippers is to realize the purpose
for which Allah the Almighty created them; and for which He took their
covenant and sent them His Messengers and Books; and for which He
created this present life, the Hereafter, Paradise and Hell-fire; and for
which the Inevitable would come true; and the Event would befall; and
for which the Balance is set and the Records fly; and for which there
would be either happiness or misery; and according to which the lights
would be divided, for any to whom Allah gives not light, there will be no
light for him!
