Creed of Ahle-Sunnah (منهج أهل السنة والجماعة)

Allah (swt) wants Mominoon (believers) to purify themselves according to his wish and guidance. He swt wants us to completely submit to his ahkhams (orders) and attain complete iman and righteousness. 

The Prophet (pbuh) defined Iman as: “Faith (الإيمان) has over seventy branches or over sixty branches, the most excellent of which is the declaration that there is no god but Allah, and the humblest of which is the, removal of what is injurious from the path: and modesty is the branch of faith”. [Hadith]

Islam is a complete way of life. It is based on the guidance provided by Allah (swt), who is the Creator of the Universe. It covers all aspects of life, it tells us Purpose of our creation, our place among other creatures, our Final Destiny. It shows us way to conduct ourselves publicly and privately, It shows us way to deal with social, political, moral and spiritual affairs, It teaches us economics and transactions, It teaches us governance and administration.

The word “Ibadah” (usually translated as worship) means “total obedience and submission to Allah’s commands”. Thus, everything we do is for the sake of Allah and to earn His pleasure by fulfilling His commands.

Al-Qadar is “the divine will and decree of Allah (swt)”, where He knew, wrote, willed and created all things in due proportion and according to a precise measure. Allah (swt) knew about everything before bringing them to existence and in accordance with proportions and measures which Allah had written in a Book called al-Lawh al-Mahfooz (the Preserved Tablet). Al-Qadaa’ is the perfectly precise execution and accomplishment of all things in accordance with Allah’s Qadar.
