The Six Articles of Faith
In Islam there are six core beliefs that every Muslim must accept and uphold as part of their faith. These beliefs form the foundation of Islamic theology and practice.
- Belief in Allah (God)
- Belief in Angels (Mala'ikah)
- Belief in the Holy Books (Kutub)
- Belief in the Prophets (Nabi and Rasul)
- Belief in the Day of Judgment (Yawm al-Qiyamah)
