Islam and the articles of faith(Eeman).

 Islam and the articles of faith(Eeman).

Alhamdulillaah, Islam is the deen and the deen of islam meaning submission or surrender. 

Allah says, 

Al-Baqarah 2:208

O you who have believed, enter into Islām completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.

We enter islam whole heartedly and not to choose one part of islam and neglect the other.

And islam has six articles of faith.

As Allah says,

Al-Baqarah 2:285

The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allāh and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination."

These are the five articles of faith. 

Believe in Allah

Believe in angels

Believe in his sacred books

Believe in his messengers

Believe in the hereafter. 

Believe in Qadr. 

Allah says, 

Al-Qamar 54:49

إِنَّا كُلَّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَٰهُ بِقَدَرٍ 

Indeed, all things We created with predestination.

These are the six articles of faith every muslim must believe. 

Disbelieving in one leads to kufr and out of islam

Today one aspect of faith many muslims have doubt in Qadr. They failed to realise whatever happens to a person is by the decree of Allaah. 

Saying if or how opens a path of shaitan. 

As reported in hadith, 

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:

A strong believer is better and is more lovable to Allah than a weak believer, and there is good in everyone, (but) cherish that which gives you benefit (in the Hereafter) and seek help from Allah and do not lose heart, and if anything (in the form of trouble) comes to you, don't say: If I had not done that, it would not have happened so and so, but say: Allah did that what He had ordained to do and your" if" opens the (gate) for the Satan.

Sahih Muslim 2664.
