The Six Articles of FaithThere are certain tenets one must believe without any doubt inorder to be considered a Muslim. These articles of faith are asfollows:a. Belief in Godb. Belief in His Angelsc. Belief in His Booksd. Belief in His Prophets and Messengerse. Belief in the Day of Judgmentf. Belief in God’s Divine DecreeBelief in God<strong>Islam</strong> emphasizes that God is The One without partner, TheEncompassing of all that exists, and He is unique in everyway. Only God, The Most Benevolent, has the right to be worshipped.Belief in His AngelsThe angels are creations of God. God, The Originator, createdthem from light. They are powerful, and always do precisely asthey are commanded by God.God has revealed to us the names and the duties of some of theangels. A Muslim must believe in the existence of angels. Gabrieland Michael are among the angels mentioned in the Qur'an. Forinstance, it is Gabriel’s () duty to take God’s revelation to theProphets and Messengers.14
Belief in His BooksMuslims believe in all of the original scriptures revealed by Godto His Messengers. A Muslim must believe in every scripturementioned by God in the Qur'an. God, The Giver, revealedthem and they were, in their original forms, the actual word ofGod. The scriptures God mentions in the Qur'an are as follows:1. The original Scrolls as revealed to Abraham2. The original Torah as revealed to Moses3. The original Psalms as revealed to David4. The original Injeel (Gospel of Jesus) as revealed to Jesus 55. The Qur'an as revealed to Muhammad (which still remains inits original form)Muslims do not consider the scriptures revealed before theQur'an, which are presently in circulation in various editions andversions, to be an accurate representation of their original revealedform. According to the Qur'an, people have distortedthese scriptures for their own worldly gain. These distortionshave occurred in many different ways, such as additions or deletionsof text or changes in the meaning or the language. Thesedistortions were adopted over time and what remains is a mixtureof the original divine text with manmade interpretation and contamination.Although Muslims believe in all the previous revealedbooks, the final means by which they judge different matters andseek ultimate guidance is sought through the Qur'an and the authentictraditions of the Prophet Muhammad ().5 The different gospels in today’s Bible were written after the time of Jesus() by other authors. The Injeel mentioned in the Qur'an refers only to therevelations that came through Jesus (), the son of Mary.15
