Description :

The revelation of the Holy Qur'an is one of the greatest favours from amongst the countless favours of Allah Almighty upon us. It contains everything that humanity requires for welfare, success and prosperity. It is an embodiment of mercy and is the blueprint for guidance for all people. It is the Rope of Allah Almighty and one who holds firmly onto it will attain success in this world and the Hereafter.

Four of the fundamental beliefs which are essential for faith are : 1). To believe in Allah Almighty, this means to believe and testify that He is the only Lord, He has no partner; to believe in all His Qualities and Names and have faith that He is Al-Knowing and has power over all things. 2). To believe in Angels. Meaning to believe in their existence, they do not commit sin, are pure and are also a means of communication between Allah Almighty and His Prophets, upon them be peace. 3). To believe in the Books of Allah Almighty. To believe that all the books revealed by Allah Almighty and sent to His Prophets through revelations are all truthful and from Allah Almighty, and not to doubt them in the slightest. To also believe the Holy Qur'an has been safeguarded from alteration or changes and to believe in the orders and prohibitions which are contained therein. 4). To believe in the Prophets. To believe that they are Prophets of Allah Almighty which He has sent towards His slaves. They are the guardians of His revelations, are free from sins, and better than all of creation and that some are more exalted than others, (Khaza'in).

The Qur'an sheds light on these fundamentals and details regarding them appear time and again in countless verses which make it clear that these fundamental are an essential part of faith. Many of these verses have been collected in this book, "Faith - In the Light of Qur'an" which mention these fundamentals and the importance and neccessity of believing in them.
