The 6 Pillars Of Emaan by Ibn Tamiyah Based upon the principle of Ahl us Sunnah wal Jama’ah

THE 6 PILLARS OF EMAAN

When the Angel Jibril came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) disguised as a Bedouin and asked him about Islam, Eman (faith) and Ihsan (perfection of faith), the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said about Eman (faith):

“(It means) the belief in (1) Allah (2) His Angels (3) His Books (4) His Messengers (5) and the Last Day; and (6) belief in Al Qada wal Qadar (Divine Pre-ordainment) good or bad” These then are the six pillars of Eman (faith).

They are the principles and foundations with which the messengers were sent and for which the divine scriptures were revealed.

The faith of any person is incomplete without his belief in all of them, in the way and manner indicated in the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

Whoever denies any of those six truths places himself outside the boundaries of faith and becomes a Kafir (disbeliever).

 Belief in Allah is also known as His Tawhid (Oneness) and is simply the testimony ‘Laa ilaaha illallah (there is none worthy of worship except Allah)’.

Belief in Allah or Tawhid is composed of two obligations that must be fulfilled for someone to be considered a Muslim.

 One of them cannot be established without the other. These obligations can be deduced from the testimony itself: Laa ilaha (there is none worthy of worship) Illallah (except Allah)

This is the rejection of the worship, submission. This is the affirmation of the worship, submission, obedience, and following of all Tawaghit (false gods) obedience and following of Allah alone
