The Impact of Belief in the Unseen on the Muslim's Creed

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I continue with our esteemed listeners, and with this question from Salim al-Yahawi from Jeddah, who says: What is the impact of belief in the unseen on the Muslim's creed, and what is the reason for the spread of love in society?

Answer:
It is obligatory to believe in the unseen. They believe in the unseen, which is what is absent from past and future matters in this world and the Hereafter, from everything the Messengers (peace be upon them) have informed us about. One affirms it and believes in it with a faith that is not mixed with doubt or hesitation, because it is news coming from the Truthful One who is verified in His truthfulness. This belief in the unseen is undoubtedly the foundation of faith in Allah (Mighty and Majestic). As for the one who does not believe except in what he sees and observes, he is not a believer. Rather, the foundation of faith is belief in the unseen. That is to believe in everything Allah has informed us about, and everything His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) has informed us about regarding the unseen past and the unseen future in this world and the Hereafter. Yes.
