The Aqeedah of Ahlis-Sunnah wal Jamaa'ah
Introduction
The writer by beautifully collecting the subjects in this book has made it
beneficial, and he has also included those important points of Aqeedah that
every student of Knowledge, rather every Muslim, is in need of knowing, which
are not found in other writings about Aqeedah.
Our Aqeedah
Our Aqeedah is to believe in Allah, His Angles, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day and we believe in
Qadr (Pre Decree), the good and the bad of it, and that it is from Allah. We believe in the
Ruboobiyyah of Allah, and that is to believe that Allah is the sustainer, the creator and the owner of
all things and He is the one who runs the affairs.
Names and Attributes of Allah with the Pious Predecessors
Whatever we mentioned[2]about the attributes of Allah, the Most
High, abridged or detailed, affirmative or in negation, we presented it in the
light of the Book and the Sunnah, and we followed the pious predecessors
of this ummah, and those who came after them on truth and guidance.
Belief in the Angels
We believe in the Allahs Angels and also that :
"They are but honoured slaves. They speak not until He has spoken, and they act on
His Command."
Belief in the Revealed Books
We believe that Allah has revealed books to His Messengers so that they can be a
proof against the worlds and a guide for those who abide and live by them, and
so that the Prophets can teach people the religion and guidance through them and
they can purify their hearts.
Belief in the Messengers
Allaah, the Most High says: "Messengers as bearers
of good news as well as of warning in order that mankind should have no plea
against Allaah after the Messengers. And Allaah is Ever AllPowerful,
AllWise."
Belief in the LastDay
We believe in the last day and that day is the day of Qiyaamah after which there will be no other day.
It will be the day on which Allaah the Most High will raise people after they have died. Then
either they will remain forever in Jannah (paradise) or they will reside forever in the house of
sever punishment, Jahannam (hellfire).
