أَرْكَانُ الإِيمَان

The 6 Pillars of Faith (Iman)

What the heart must believe for faith to be complete

الْإِيمَانُ أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدَرِ خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ

"Faith is to believe in Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and in Destiny — its good and its evil."

Narrator : 'Umar ibn al-Khattâb (رضي الله عنه) — 2e calife de l'Islam

📖 The Story of Jibril

"A man dressed in white with perfectly black hair sat before the Prophet ﷺ, knee to knee, hands on thighs. No sign of travel on him, yet no one knew him. He questioned the Prophet ﷺ about Islam, Iman, Ihsan and the signs of the Hour. Then he disappeared. The Prophet ﷺ said to 'Umar: 'Do you know who that was? That was Jibril — he came to teach you your religion.'" (Muslim n°8)

The Hadith of Jibril is considered by scholars the 'Ummul-Hadith' — the mother of hadiths — as it summarizes in one conversation the three dimensions of religion: Islam (practice), Iman (faith) and Ihsan (excellence).
