Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books What Is Islam? Beliefs, Principles and a Way of Life Basic Beliefs 2-THE BASIC BELIEFS OF ISLAM Question: What are the basic beliefs of Islam? Answer: There are three fundamental beliefs as well as beliefs that follow from these three fundamentals. THE ONENESS and UNITY of GOD (TAWHID) Question: What are these three fundamental beliefs?
Answer: Firstly, the faith that this world has an omniscient, omnipotent, wise, all-hearing and all-seeing God, who has no beginning or end and who possesses all qualities of perfection and is free from any fault or deficiency. This God is One and has no partner, and none of His creation resembles Him, and there is absolutely no possibility of seeing Him, either in this world or in the hereafter. The oneness of God can be proved. Question: What is the meaning of oneness?
Answer: The oneness of God can be considered to have four aspects: 1-Oneness of Essence: This means that God is one and has no partners. He is not like man who consists of several parts for God does not possess any parts at all. 2-Oneness of Attributes: This means that God’s attributes are identical to His essence: hence there is no duality between His attributes and His essence.
In other words, God is not like man whose knowledge is separated from his essence and whose strength is something separate from him, but in fact the essence of God, His knowledge, His power and so on are one and the same thing. 3-Oneness of His Works: This means that everything in the universe is of His creation. 4-Oneness of Worship: This means that only God Almighty has the right to be worshipped. PROPHETHOOD Question: What is the second fundamental from among the fundamental beliefs in Islam?
Answer: It is prophethood. This means that God Almighty has sent prophets to mankind in order to guide him to the truth and the right path. Question: Who is the first prophet? Answer: The first prophet is our father Adam (peace be upon him). God created him from clay; then created him a companion Hawa (Eve) - peace be upon her. Then God blessed Hawa with two sons Habil (Abel) and Qabil (Cain). Then God created two girls, not from the stock of Adam and Hawa, but as a new creation.
Habil and Qabil married these two girls and from them children were created, and consequently cousins married each other and so the human race started to increase. Question: Who is the last of all the prophets?
