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 Allah’s Angels and also that : "They are but honoured slaves. They speak not until He has spoken, and they act on His Command."Suratul Anbiya 21:26-27
   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).
