Study Notes

Islamic Creed (Aqeedah)

  • The book is about the Islamic creed (Aqeedah)
  • It's for Level 1, and it's the English Edition.
  • Prepared by Zad Group.
  • Published in 2024.

Introduction to Sound Aqeedah

  • Aqeedah is derived from the word al-aqd.
  • It means tying, securing, pulling with strength.
  • Synonyms include Tawhid, Sunnah, usul ad-deen, al-fiqh al-akbar, sharia and eman.
  • Sound aqeedah is belief in Allah's divinity, His names and attributes, angels, Books, Messengers, the Last Day, and His decree, and everything mentioned in the religious texts in a definitive manner.
  • Islamic creed is an essential necessity for Muslims to live by.
  • The meaning and importance of sound aqeedah is to be righteous, and acceptable to Allah.
  • Evidence for sound aqeedah includes verses from the Quran (e.g., al-Baqarah 2:177, Al Baqarah 2:285).
  • The importance of sound aqeedah is its condition for righteous deeds in the Hereafter and admittance to Paradise (al-Kahf 18:110, at-Tawbah 9:72).

Sources of Sound Aqeedah

  • The first source is the Noble Quran.
  • The Quran contains proof for aqeedah (e.g., al-A'raf 7:3) and is an accurate and protected text.
  • The second source is the Prophetic Sunnah.
  • This includes verified reports from the Prophet Muhammad (e.g., words, deeds, and approvals) and acts as proof.
  • The third source is the consensus of the Sahabah and their successors.
  • Their unified understanding and opinions serve as evidence for sound aqeedah.

The Pillars of Tawhid

  • Tawhid has two pillars: negation and affirmation.
  • Negation means discarding all forms of worship other than Allah.
  • Affirmation means directing all worship to Allah alone with sincerity.
  • This is essential for a person to be considered Muslim and to attain salvation.

The Categories of Tawhid

  • Tawhid is divided into three main categories.
    • Tawhid ar-Rububiyah (Oneness of Lordship): Allah's complete control over all things.
    • Tawhid al-Uluhiyah (Oneness of Divinity): Allah is the only one worthy of worship.
    • Tawhid al-Asma' wa's-Sifat (Oneness of Names and Attributes): Allah has unique names and attributes.

Evidence for the Existence of Allah

  • Evidence for the existence of Allah beyond religious texts includes the innate human nature (fitrah), rationality, and tangible evidence, like creation.
  • Innate human nature inclines towards believing in a creator. This is exemplified in how people seek help from Allah during times of distress.
  • Reason and common sense dictate the need for a creator.
  • Tangible evidence, like creation, the functioning of the universe, and the various aspects within it, shows design and purpose pointing to a Creator.
  • The miracles of the prophets are also evidence of Allah's existence.

Impact of Tawhid on the Individual

  • Tawhid leads to well-being in this world and the hereafter.
  • It brings relief from distress.
  • It fosters steadfastness in the face of challenges.
  • It leads to submission and humility before Allah.
