Al AQidah Course

Course description

The Aqidah knowledge is the knowledge that investigates the Islamic belief and explains what contradicts and contradicts it. It is derived from the two revelations, the Qur’an and the Sunnah, and an explanation of the approach of the imams of the nation, the Companions and Followers – may Allah be pleased with them – in their dealings with issues of belief.

The Aqidah knowledge is the foundation of science. Because the integrity of a person in his religion depends on the integrity of his belief.

The Islamic Aqidah when it is launched is the Aqidah of the people of Sunnis and Jama’a(أهل السنة والجماعة). Because it is the Islam that Allah has chosen as the religion for His servants, and it is the preferred belief of the three centuries of the Companions and the Successors and those who followed them in goodness until the Day of Judgment.

Everything that contradicts the Aqidah of the people of Sunnis and Jama’a(أهل السنة والجماعة) is one of the false beliefs, and its owner has deviated from the correct belief to the heretical and misguided beliefs.

What is meant by Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama`ah: everyone who follows the Sunnah of the Prophet – may Allah bless him and grant him peace – and adheres to it in word, deed, and belief.

Definition of doctrine:

Al Aqidah in language: taken from the contract, which means tightening, binding, steadfastness, and tightening, and contract: the opposite of loosening.

Al Aqidah refers to a firm belief that is beyond doubt. It is what a person believes in and his heart is set upon. If what he believes is a correct and firm belief in the Lordship of Allah Almighty, His divinity, His names and attributes, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and predestination, its good and its evil, and all the rest of what is proven. Of the matters of the unseen, and the foundations of the religion, and what the righteous(Al Salaf) predecessors agreed upon, and complete submission to Allah Almighty in command, judgment, obedience, and following His Messenger, this is the correct Sunni belief, and if what he believes is contrary to that, it is a corrupt belief.

4) Belief in the Messengers: It includes: (belief that their message is true from Allah, and belief in those whose names we learned by His name, along with believing what is authentically reported from them, and acting according to the law of those of them sent to us, and he is their seal, Muhammad – may Allah bless him and grant him peace.
