The document discusses Islamic beliefs ('aqeedah) according to the Quran and hadith. It defines 'aqeedah as beliefs held firmly in the heart without doubt. Correct 'aqeedah is the foundation of iman (faith) and is necessary for balance in both the spiritual and physical realms. While 'aqeedah is not directly mentioned in the Quran or hadith, it forms the basis of iman, which includes both beliefs and good deeds.

INTRODUCTION
Aqeedah Definition & Explanation
Linguistic meaning Root meanings: belief, ideology, firmly grounded, tied, binding contract. Islamic meaning
Beliefs and knowledge held in the heart without any
doubt. Relationship between aqeedah and amal WHAT IS AQEEDAH?
Belief in matter of al-ghaib
Aqeedah can be correct or false
Divine Communication (sometimes called
revelation) is its sole possible source. Only found today in the last and protected divine message. Correct Aqeedah is an absolute necessity for balance and success in both realms. AQEEDAH & IMAN Aqeedah not mentioned in Quran or Hadith Allah praised Iman and its people. Aqeedah is the foundation in the heart of iman which also includes deeds. Abu Hanifas opinion a semantic, not an actual difference. That which is established in the heart and the actions confirm/validate it. (hadith) NOT mere knowledge (gnosis) Iblis and Pharaoh both had complete knowledge of Allah, but no correct aqeedah or iman. AQEEDAH & SHARIA
Iman includes deeds and that is the realm of
the Sharia. A deficiency in either is a deficiency in Iman.
As such, both the root (aqeedah) and the
branches (deeds) must be maintained. IMAN & KUFR No exemption for ability in the area of aqeedah. Whoever rejects the Aqeedah of Islam wholly or partially is a disbeliever. Aqeedah is interconnected and it is not possible to believe in one part but not in another. Kufr can be by rejection, words, deeds or omissions. Rejection of disbelievers for their disbelief is a must. Who will be kafir before Allah? MAJOR SINS
