CHAPTER IV

FAITH
A Muslim believes in Allah and he expresses his belief in words,
plants it in the heart and actualizes it in deed. This faith is expressed in
detail by two kinds of expression: general and specific.
As a general faith, a Muslim believes in Allah with all His
names and attributes, and he accepts all His commands. There are
ninety-nine attributes and names of Allah and a Muslim believes in all
His attributes. Allah is All-Powerful, The All-Knowing and The
Creator of the universe. A Muslim regards Him as the only Ruler and
Master. A Muslim has to depend upon Allah's mercy alone.
A specific faith or faith in detail is that a Muslim believes in
Allah, His angels, His Holy books, all of His prophets, the day of
judgment and life after death, and the fact that good and evil all come
from Him. A true Muslim believes in all of these articles of faith, and
follows the last prophet in his actions. The teaching of the last prophet
is known in full detail; either it is written in the Qur'an, the final book,
or in Sunnah. The faith gives human beings peace and security.
