FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is aqeedah?
The firm belief of the heart: Allah, His angels, books, messengers, Last Day and divine decree. Belief comes before practice — learn foundations first, with a teacher.
What are the six pillars of Iman?
Belief in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and divine decree (Qadr) — all in Quran 2:285 and the Jibril hadith.
What breaks Tawhid?
Shirk: directing worship (dua, sacrifice, vows, ultimate trust) to other than Allah. Major shirk nullifies deeds if unrepented; minor shirk (showing off) wounds them.
How do decree and free will fit?
Allah decreed all things; humans still choose willingly and earn reward or blame. Take full means, then trust Allah — never use Qadr as an excuse.
