The Islamic faith. is necessary for the human being, as is the necessity of water and air. Without this belief, human may lose themselves and their existence.
Muslim child belief and what is the importanceand necessity
of the Islamic faith or aqeedah
Only Islamic faith can answers the questions that have occupied the mind, and are still confusing Human thoughts, but rather puzzled it.
some examples of these questions are as the following:
- Where did you come from?
- Where did this universe come from?
- Who is the creator? And what are his attributes?
- What are his names?
- Why did he created us and the whole universe?
- What is our role in this universe?
- What is our relationship with the Creator who created us?
- Is there Unseen worlds beyond this acclaimed world?
- Are there other creatures?
- Is there another life after death that we will end up with?
- If the answer is yes then How is that life?
There is no creed or religion other than the Islamic faith today that answers this These questions in an honest and convincing way.
Everyone who does not know the religion of Islam, or has not embrace it, his condition will not be different from the condition of that miserable poet who searched for the truth and found no thing but unknowingness
the poet says:I came to life, I don't know how it did it , but I came
And I saw a way ahead of me, and I walked it and will keep walking willingly or compelled. How did I come? How did I see my way?I do not know.
He does not know where the fate is.
the fate of man. is something that interests him and concerns him.
The poet wants to be reassured about his fate as a human being, and we see his grief and sorrow; Because he doesn't know where he's going? And what will happen?
That is what is called a delusion from the truth. It is the misery of the heart that is tired of walking on a dark path.
how many in life are such miserable, misguided poets, some of whom can express their wretchedness and confusion, and some of them feel and suffer, but their thoughts remain confined to his miserable soul.
Only in Islam, a person becomes aware of not only where he came from, to where is his Fate and why he is exist, but he also know what is his main and essential role in this existence.
That's reality and truth. This is the exact difference between those who know and those who do not.
While The believer knows why he came to this world and what his job is, the disbeliever doesn't.
"قال الله جل و علا): "وما خلقت الجن والإنس إلا ليعبدون)
Surah adh-Dhariyat
Almighty Allah says:
" I did not create jinn and humans except to worship Me".
The correct Aqeedah is the creed that all Messengers peace be upon them received from the almighty Allah by his willing. It is one belief (aqeedah)because all the messengers and prophets came to call people to one God the almighty Allah, who is the Creator of everything.
As for the corrupt beliefs, they arise from two things:
- Either it arises from being a product of the thoughts of men who call themselves Intellectuals, philosophers, thinkers and creators.
- Or the distortion of human beings to the correct belief that Allah sent the Messenger - may God’s prayers and peace be upon them - with. As what happened in the Jewish and Christianity in this time.
Hence, there is no correct belief in this time except Islam. It is the only religion that Almighty Allah has pledged to preserve its book, which represents the first and basic source of that correct and pure belief, then the Sunnah and hadith came to illustrates and explain the holy Quran, which is the first source.
"Surely We revealed the Message, and We will surely preserve it." Surah al-Hijr
What is the relationship between belief and faith?
We know that faith is a belief in the heart, pronunciation with the tongue, and deed or action of body parts.
It increases with obedience and decreases with disobedience. The creed represents the origin and base of faith...
Hence, faith: A belief that settles in the heart of the believer in a stable that accompanies him.
This belief must be transformed into words and deeds that validate this belief and do not contradict it. This is because the belief that resides in the heart and is not believed by words or actions, is a cold, empty belief that does not indicate the sincerity of its owner.
Mere knowledge or belief is not sufficient for there to be Words and deeds agree with this belief.
Here is Iblis: He knew God, knew the truthfulness of the Messengers, and even knew All the great truths, yet he refused to accept the truth, and even vowed himself to fight the people of truth as much as he could.
And here is Pharaoh who knew the truthfulness of Moses (peace be upon him) rather He is certain that the miracles that Moses brought were from Allah. He denied it and was arrogant.
And that is why the Almighty said about Pharaoh and his entourage.
"وجحدوا بها واستيقنتها أنفسهم ظلما وعلوا"
And they belied them (those Ayat) wrongfully and arrogantly, though their own selves were convinced thereof [i.e. those (Ayat) are from Allah, and Musa (Moses) is the Messenger of Allah in truth, but they disliked to obey Musa (Moses), and hated to believe in his Message of Monotheism]. So see what was the end of the Muf'sidun (disbelievers, disobedient to Allah, evil-doers, liars)
And here are the Christians (People of the Book) who knew that the Prophet ﷺ was sent by Allah, yet they did not believe in him. So Allah said Almighty: “They know Him as they know their own children.”
"قال تعالى: " يعرفونه كما يعرفون أبناءهم
It is not sufficient for faith to be a mere belief in the heart, and its effect on a person does not appear in word or deed. Rather, it is necessary to have a true belief that fills the innermost part of the heart, a pronouncement with the tongue that agrees with this belief, and a righteous deed that proves the sincerity of this servant in what he believes.
