Frequently asked Questions on beliefs in Islam

How many beliefs are there in Islam?

Muslims have seven main beliefs, called the Articles of Faith. These basic beliefs shape the Islamic way of life.

1        Belief in the Oneness of God

There is One God, Supreme and Eternal, Creator and Provider, Who is Merciful and Compassionate. God has neither father nor mother, and no sons or daughters. God has never fathered anyone, nor was He fathered. God has no equals. He is God of all humankind, not of a special tribe, race, or group of people. He is the God of all races and colours, of believers and unbelievers alike. God is Mighty and Supreme, yet is also very near to pious, thoughtful believers, answering their prayers and helping them. God asks us to know Him, to love Him, and to follow His Law, for our own benefit and salvation.

2        Belief in the Angels of God 

Angels are pure and spiritually obedient beings, created by God to fulfill His commands and worship Him tirelessly.

3        Belief in the Revelations (Books) of God 

Muslims believe in the Revelations sent by Almighty God to His Prophets and Messengers, including the Qur’an, the Torah, the Gospel, the Scrolls of Abraham and the Psalms of David.

4        Belief in the Prophets of God

All Messengers and Prophets of God such as Noah, Moses, Solomon, Jesus and Muhammad were mortal human beings endowed with Divine Revelations and appointed by God to teach humankind how to submit to His will and obey His Laws.

5        Belief in the Day of Judgment 

Muslims believe in an appointed Day of Judgment and in Heaven and Hell.

6        Belief in Premeasurement (Qadar) 

Muslims believe that Almighty God has knowledge of, and control over, everything that exists in all time and space.

7        Belief in Resurrection after Death

After the world ends, Muslims believe that all people who have died will be brought back to life (or, resurrected) in order to face the Judgment rendered to each of them by Almighty God.

Wives of Muhammad PUBH (Azwaj-e-Mutahirat)

Muhammad's wives, or the wives of Muhammad, were the women married to the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Muslims often use the term "Mothers of the Believers" prominently before or after referring to them as a sign of respect, a term derived from Quran 33:6.[1][2] Muhammad was monogamous for 25 years when married to his first wife, Khadija bint Khuwaylid. After her death in 619 CE, he over time married a number of women. His life is traditionally delineated by two epochs: pre-hijra (emigration) in Mecca, a city in western Arabia, from the year 570 to 622 CE, and post-hijra in Medina, from 622 until his death in 632. All but two of his marriages were contracted after the Hegira (or Hijra - migration to Medina). Of his 13 wives, only two bore him children: Khadija and Maria al-Qibtiyya. Women and girls in Islam are encouraged to follow their footsteps to succeed in existing life and the life hereafter. Prophet Muhammed PBUH has been awarded the highest category amongst all...

Khulfa-e-Rashideen (Rashidun Caliphate)

The Rashidun Caliphate (Arabic: اَلْخِلَافَةُ ٱلرَّاشِدَةُ ‎, al-Khilāfah ar-Rāšidah) was the first of the four major caliphates established after the death of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. It was ruled by the first four successive caliphs (successors) of Muhammad after his death in 632 CE (AH 11). These caliphs are collectively known in Sunni Islam as the Rashidun, or "Rightly Guided" caliphs ( اَلْخُلَفَاءُ ٱلرَّاشِدُونَ al-Khulafāʾ ar-Rāšidūn).[4] The Rashidun Caliphate is characterized by a twenty-five year period of rapid military expansion, followed by a five-year period of internal strife. The Rashidun Army at its peak numbered more than 100,000 men. By the 650s, the caliphate in addition to the Arabian Peninsula had subjugated the Levant, to the Transcaucasus in the north; North Africa from Egypt to present-day Tunisia in the west; and the Iranian plateau to parts of Central Asia and South Asia in the east. The caliphate arose out of the death of Muhammad in 63...
