BOOKS / MESSENGER
We believe in every Book sent down by Allah,
and in all of His messengers, His angels, and in destiny,
whether good or bad. "And we testify that Muhammad is His
slave and Messenger, whom He sent to jinn and to mankind, to
the Arabs and the non-Arabs, with guidance and the religion
of truth, that He may cause it to prevail over all religion,
though the polytheists are averse. [Qur'an 9:33] And that he
delivered the Message, was faithful to his trust, advised
the Nation, did away with grief, and strove for Gods sake as
is His due, being truthful and trustworthy, supported by
authentic proofs and norm-breaking miracles. And that
Allah has made it incumbent upon His bondsmen to believe,
obey, and follow him, and that a man's faith is not
acceptable - even should he believe in Him - until he
believes in Muhammad (may Allah bless him and his Family and
grant them peace) and in everything that he brought and
informed us of, whether of the affairs of this world or the
next. This includes faith in the questioning of the dead by
Munkar and Nakir about religion, tawhid and Prophethood, and
in the bliss which is in the grave for those who were
obedient, and the torment which it contains for the
rebellions.
