List the six articles of faith (Iman) in Islam. Then explain two essential conditions that must be fulfilled for a Muslim's belief in the unseen (such as angels) to be considered valid, and illustrate with one example of how neglecting each condition affects the article of faith.
Answer Options
A.
The six articles are belief in Allah, angels, revealed books, prophets, the Day of Resurrection and divine decree. Valid belief in the unseen requires (a) reliance on authentic Qur'an\/Sunnah and (b) belief without any questioning. Denying angels while still believing in them as metaphorical does not nullify that article.
Correct Answer
B.
The six articles are belief in Allah, angels, revealed books, prophets, the Day of Resurrection and divine decree. Valid belief in the unseen requires (a) reliance on authentic Qur'an/Sunnah and (b) freedom from doubt and shirk. Denying angels or believing in angels that contradict Islam nullifies that article.
C.
The six articles are belief in Allah, angels, revealed books, prophets, the Day of Resurrection and divine decree. Valid belief in the unseen requires (a) reliance on cultural traditions and (b) tolerance of doubt and shirk. Denying angels but following folk tales does not affect the article.
D.
The six articles are belief in Allah, angels, revealed books, prophets, the Day of Judgment and divine decree. Valid belief in the unseen requires (a) reliance on personal intuition and (b) freedom from doubt and shirk. Accepting jinn as angels validates that article.
