About this infographic
When Jibril (عليه السلام) came in the form of a man and asked the Prophet ﷺ about Iman, he answered with six beliefs. Together they form the foundation of a Muslim’s faith.
The hadith of Jibril
“Iman is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers and the Last Day, and to believe in the divine decree, its good and its bad.” — Sahih Muslim 8; see also Qur’an 4:136.
1. Belief in Allah
That He is One, with no partner, and worthy of all worship.
2. His Angels
Created from light, they obey Allah and carry out His commands.
3. His Books
The scriptures He revealed, culminating in the Qur’an.
4. His Messengers
From Adam to Muhammad ﷺ, the final messenger.
5. The Last Day
The Day of Resurrection, when every soul is held to account.
6. Divine Decree (Qadar)
That everything happens by Allah’s knowledge and will — its good and its bad.
