Introduction

All praise is due to Allah, and Allah's Peace and Blessings be

upon His Final Messenger, his pure family, his noble

Companions, and all those who follow them with righteousness

until the Day of Judgment.

To proceed:

In view of the fact that the true 'Aqidah, or creed, is the

foundation of Islam, I have decided on ' The Authentic Creed

and the Invalidators of Islam as a title for the present treatise.

It is evident from texts of the Noble Qur’aan and the Sunnah

that a person's words and deeds will not be accepted unless

they emanate from a true creed. If the creed is not authentic,

all words and deeds emanating there from are bound to be

rejected. The Qur'aan says:

"And whosoever disbelieves in Faith then, fruitless is

his work and in the Hereafter he will be among the

losers." (Soorah 5:5)

"And indeed it has already been revealed to you, as it

was to those before you, that if you join others with

Allah in worship, then surely all your deeds will be in

vain, and you will certainly be among the losers."

(Soorah 39:65)

The Verses to this effect are numberless.

The Qur’aan and the Prophetic traditions clearly state that the

true creed is to believe in Allah, His Angels, His Books, His

Messengers, the Last Day, and Al-Qadar (Divine Destiny), the

good of it and the bad of it. These six articles constitute the

basis of the true creed with which Allah sent His Book and with

which He sent His Messenger Muhammad r .

These articles also include all aspects of Al-Ghaib (Unseen

World), or in which a Muslim should believe. They also include

all that which Allah and His Messenger have informed us

thereof. The evidence of these articles come from many

Verses of the Qur’aan as well as Prophetic traditions. The

following are but a few examples. Allah says:

"It is not righteousness that you turn your faces

towards east or west; but it is righteousness to believe

in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, the Book and

the Messengers." (Soorah 2:177)

He also said:

"The Messenger believes in what has been revealed to

him from his Lord, as do the believers. Each one (of

them) believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books, and His

Messengers. (They say) 'We make no distinction

between one another of His Messengers.' And they say,

'We hear and we obey. We seek Your forgiveness, our

Lord, and to You is the end of all journeys." (Soorah

2:285)

He further says:

"O you who believe! Believe in Allah and His Messenger,

and the Scripture which He sent to His Messenger (i.e.,

the Qur’aan) and the Scripture which He sent to those

before (him) any who disbelieves in Allah, His Angels,

His Books, His Messengers and the Last Day has indeed

gone far, far astray." (Soorah 4:136)

"Know you not that Allah knows all that is in the heaven

and on the earth? Verily, it is (all) in the Book (Al-Lauh

Al-Mahfāz), Verily, that is easy for Allah." (Soorah 22:70)

The authentic Prophetic traditions clearly stating these articles

are also innumerable. We cite the following tradition as an

example. Muslim reported in his Sahih on the authority of

'Umar bin Al-Khattāb that when Jibril asked the Prophet r

about Faith, he said:

"Iman or Faith, is to believe in Allah, His Angels, His

Books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in

Destiny, the good of it and the bad of it."

This tradition has also been reported by Al-Bukhāri on the

authority of Abu Hurairah. From these articles emanate all that

a Muslim should believe with regard to Allah's Right, the Day

of Judgment and all matters pertaining to the Unseen World.

Belief in Allah

Belief in Allah signifies that Allah is the true God Who Alone

deserves to be worshipped, as He is the Creator and the

Sustainer of all human beings. It also signifies that He is also

fully aware of their secret and open words and deeds and is

Able to reward the righteous and punish the disobedient. In

fact, Allah created mankind and the jinn for the sole reason to

worship Him Alone. As the Qur’aan says:

"And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except

that they should worship Me (Alone). I seek not any

provision from them (i.e., provision for themselves or

for My creatures) nor do I ask that they should feed Me

(i.e., feed themselves or My creatures). Verily, Allah is

the All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong."

(Soorah 51 : 56-58)

And He said:

"O mankind! Worship your Lord, Who created you and

those who came before you that you may become

righteous. Who has made the earth a resting place for

you, and the sky as a canopy, and sent down rain from

the sky, and brought forth therewith fruits as provision

for you. Then do not set up rivals unto Allah (in

worship) while you know that He Alone has the right to

be worshipped." (Soorah 2:21,22)

Allah sent the Messengers and sent down the Books to clarify

this Truth, call to it and warn against all that which contradicts

it. The Qur’aan says:

"And verily, we have sent among every Ummah a

Messenger, (with the command), 'Worship Allah (Alone)

and avoid (or Keep away from) At-Taghut (i.e., all false

deities)." (Soorah 16:36)

"And We did not send any Messenger before you but we

revealed to them (saying): La Ilaha illa Ana (none has

the right to be worshipped but I, So worship Me."

(Soorah 21:25)

"(This is) a Book, the Verses whereof are perfected and

then explained in detail from One (Allah), Who is All-

Wise and Well-Acquainted (with all things): (Saying)

worship none but Allah. Verily, I (Muhammad) am unto

you from Him a warner and a bringer of glad tidings."

(Soorah 11:1,2)

The reality of 'worship' mentioned in the above-mentioned

Verses is to direct all one s acts to Allah Alone. These include,

amongst other things, supplications, fear and hope, prayers,

fasting, making sacrifices and taking vows. These should be

done in total submission to His Will, fearing His chastisement

and hoping for His Mercy as well as displaying love for Him.

Many Verses of the Qur'aan clearly state this Islamic

fundamental. The Qur’aan says:

"Verily, We have sent down the Book to you in truth: so

worship Allah (Alone), offering Him sincere devotion.

Surely, sincere devotion (worship) is due to Allah

Alone." (Soorah 39:2,3)

"And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but

Him." (Soorah 17:23)

“So, call upon Allah with sincere devotion, making your

worship pure for Him (Alone)” (Soorah 40:14)

Al-Bukhāri and Muslim also report on the authority of Mu’adh

who said, that the Prophet said:
