What_Is_Iman_

What Is Iman' What is Iman' Iman is an expression of the truth a Muslim recognizes, defined by the Prophet: “Faith is knowledge in the heart, a voicing with the tongue, and an activity with the limbs.” The six principles of Iman are mentioned in the Hadith by Gabriel: God, the angels, the scriptures, the prophets, the Last Day and the measuring out. Although there are six principles, they have been grouped by philosophers into three main roots: the tawid, prophecy and the Return. The tawid is the divine unity, the universal message brought by individual prophets to a particular people, at a particular time and place in a particular manner. The fundamental message of the prophets is tawid and all prophets brought the first Shahadah: “There is no god but I, so worship Me” (21:25). The Koran insists that all prophets be treated equally as they were all sent by the same god with the same guidance and primary message, “To every one of you [messengers] We have appointed a right way and an open road.” (5:48) The Koran also states that each prophet was sent to confirm the message of the last.
