Islam » Aqeedah (Islamic Creed)
Articles explaining the Sahih (authentic) aqeedah (Islamic Creed) to which a Muslim should adhere. In this category you'll find articles discussing advanced topics of tawheed (Divine Unity) in details: tawheed al-Asma wa Sifaat (Allah's Attributes and Names) and tawassul (seeking a means to get close to Allah). A Muslims should not call anyone beside Allah and we're obliged to believe in Allah's Sifaat (Attributes) without taw'il (interpreting their meanings into different), tashbih (giving resemblance or similarity in any specific creatures), ta'til (completely ignoring or denying them), tafweed (tawfid - to relegate the meanings) and takeef (takif - asking how); this is the 'aqeedah of Ahle Sunnah wal Jama'ah. We affirm and believe in what Allah Ta'ala has said about Himself in the Qur'an, what His Prophet, Muhammad (sal-allahu 'alayhi wa salam - peace and blessings be upon him), said about Him and how the first three Muslim generations, the Salaf - May Allah be pleased with them, understood His Sifaat. There are deviated groups, who dwell into Greek Philosophy and innovated deviant and heretical views which are not found in the Qur'an, Sahih Sunnah and the teachings of the Salaf i.e. Ash'aris, Mu'tazilite, Maturidee.
