There are six things that every muslim should believe in (also known as the Six Articles of Faith):
- Allah: as the one and only God.
- The Quran: as Allah's holy book and everything that Quran says.
- Muhammad: as the messenger of Allah.
- Angels: created by Allah from light to worship and serve him as well as watch over his people.
- Predestination: the belief that Allah chooses our destiny for us and is watching and controlling everything.
- The Day of Judgement: the day when every person that ever lived will account for their deeds and be sent to Paradise or Hell.
Other articles of faith also include belief in Death and the Afterlife.
To deny any of these is considered Shirk (Disbelief), which means to associate other things with Allah, and Shirk is considered the one thing that the all-Merciful Allah will not forgive on the Day of Judgement (Quran: 4:48).
