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.
