Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, this is Badr from al-Jawf. He says: The creed is what a person believes in and professes, whether good or evil, corruption or righteousness. He asks: How does one adhere to the correct creed, and what is obligatory for the servant in this regard? You speak about the factors that invalidate the creed and the means of safety from them.
Answer:
The creed, my brother, is faith in Allah, and faith in Allah and His books and His messengers and the Last Day, and faith in the divine decree, its good and its evil. Faith in Allah and His books and His messengers and His angels and His books and His messengers, and faith in the Last Day, and faith in the divine decree, its good and its evil. For when Jibril asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the presence of the Companions to teach them, he said: "Inform me about faith?" He said: "Faith is that you believe[An-Nisa 4:136] and you believe in the divine decree, its good and its evil." This is the creed; these are the foundations of the creed. As for the remaining matters, they are subsidiary, subsidiary and completing to these foundations. Yes.
