Question:
May Allah reward you with good. A questioner asks: Is 'aqidah built on preponderant opinion?
Answer:
'Aqidah is built on evidence from the Book and the Sunnah, based on what came in the Book and the Sunnah regarding faith in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and faith in divine decree, its good and its evil. These are the pillars of faith, the pillars of 'aqidah. Along with them are also the pillars of Islam, which are the testimonyJami` at-Tirmidhi 2609Sahih (Darussalam) and the pilgrimage to the House of Allah the Sacred. It is necessary for these pillars to be present: the pillars of Islam in the outward form and the pillars of faith in the inward form. Some of them do not suffice for the others. 'Aqidah is built on that, on what has come with valid evidence in the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
