The foundation of a Muslim’s life is the idea of faith, or Iman in Arabic. It is a profound, all-encompassing state of being that guides every thought, deed, and goal; it is much more than just the recognition of a higher power. The “faith of Allah” can be interpreted in two profound ways: as our own faith in Allah, which is the deliberate surrender of our hearts and wills to the Creator, and as the faith that Allah has predestined for us, a flawless system of belief. This niche offers answers to life’s most basic questions and serves as a solid anchor during both happy and turbulent times. It is a vast ocean of wisdom, consolation, and guidance. Exploring it means setting out on a path marked by divine love, intentional creation, and everlasting salvation that leads to inner peace and ultimate truth.
By the faith of Allah, he created us beautiful and special.
Every human life is a purposeful and treasured act of divine creation, according to Islamic doctrine. In this context, the phrase “By the faith of Allah” refers to the veracity and intelligence of creation itself. Allah created with a purposeful intent based on absolute truth, not whims or needs. In the Quran, He states that He has created humanity in the highest form, giving each person a distinct body, mind, and spiritual potential (95:4). This innate “beauty” includes the capacity for moral excellence, compassion, and intellectual success in addition to physical beauty. Every individual is “special” because each soul has a unique purpose, a part to play in the vast scheme of things that no other person can do. This knowledge dispels myths about meaninglessness and promotes a great sense of dignity and self-worth. It teaches that we are purposeful beings, loved and cherished by our Creator, rather than random products of nature. This tale of divine origin forces us to see the Creator’s hand in every human face and treat others and ourselves with kindness and respect.
faith ALLH is only one.
Tawheed, or the absolute, unchanging oneness of God, is the central tenet of Islamic theology. All other facets of faith are centred on this idea. The statement that “faith ALLH is only one” indicates that there is only one real God, Allah, who has no equals, partners, children, or competitors. He alone is the Creator, Sustainer, and Sovereign of all universes, a concept known as His Lordship (Rububiyyah). It also includes His right to worship (Uluhiyyah), which states that all worship must be offered exclusively to Him, including supplication, prayer, hope, fear, and dependence. Additionally, it encompasses the unity of His names and attributes (Asma wa Sifat), which indicates that He is flawless and distinct in every way. This theory steers the human mind towards the only Being deserving of devotion, freeing it from the bonds of worshipping created objects, whether they be idols, riches, desires, or systems. It simplifies the road to salvation and offers a clear, cohesive understanding of the cosmos by establishing a direct, unmediated relationship between the creature and the Creator. From Adam to Noah, Abraham to Moses, Jesus to Muhammad (peace be upon them all), the core of every prophet’s message is tawheed.
Faith in Allah is the only that can protect us from danger.
Faith is the ultimate haven in a world full of spiritual, psychological, and physical dangers. Iman provides protection in a variety of ways. On a practical level, it encourages mindfulness (Taqwa), which helps a believer refrain from negative and destructive actions, protecting their relationships, wealth, and health. It offers an unmatched psychological barrier against hopelessness, anxiety, and fear. A believer gains a resilience that is unshakeable by external circumstances when they genuinely internalise the idea that Allah is in control of all affairs and that every adversity brings wisdom. They are shielded from the peril of despair. In a spiritual sense, it serves as a stronghold against sin and misdirection, the biggest threats of all. Faith serves as a moral compass and a barrier against Satan’s whispers, shielding the heart from the corruption of jealousy, conceit, and hatred. It is the light that leads the believer safely through life’s pitfalls and illuminates the way away from the darkness of disbelief and disobedience. This protection is a promise that no matter what happens to a believer, it is a test that can eventually result in forgiveness and a higher rank in the Hereafter. It is not necessarily a guarantee against worldly hardships.
ALLAH is the only sincere well-wisher of us.
Despite their value, human relationships are naturally constrained by individual interests, shifting conditions, and incomplete knowledge. In the vast scheme of eternity, even the most devoted parent or friend cannot predict the future or know what is best for us. On the other hand, Allah is Al-Hakim, the All-Wise; Al-Alim, the All-Knowing; and Al-Wadud, the Loving. His desire for our welfare is pure and unadulterated by any need or hidden agenda. He wants us to succeed in this short life as well as the eternal one that lies ahead. This divine kindness can occasionally take the shape of fulfilling our desires, and other times it can take the shape of turning down our requests or putting obstacles in our way. A believer knows that Allah’s “no” can be a greater blessing than a “yes,” shielding them from harm that cannot be seen or pointing them in the direction of improvement. Allah, the Sincere Well-Wisher, provides what fosters spiritual growth, purifies the soul, and leads to eternal paradise, whereas a human well-wisher might support what brings instant gratification. The ultimate expression of faith is putting our faith in His plan rather than our own finite desires.
faith ayat from the Quran in Arabic with English and Urdu translations.
The Quran is the eternal verbatim word of Allah, and its verses are the primary source for building and strengthening faith. They provide direct guidance, profound wisdom, and comforting reminders. Below is a powerful verse on the essence of faith:
Arabic:
فَأَقِيمُوا وَجْهَكُمْ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفًا ۚ فِطْرَتَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا ۚ لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ اللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
(Surah Ar-Rum, 30:30)
English Translation:
“So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth. [Adhere to] the fitrah of Allah upon which He has created [all] people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know.”
Urdu Translation:
“پس تم یکسو ہو کر دین (اسلام) کی طرف متوجہ ہو جاؤ۔ اللہ کی اس فطرت کی طرف جس پر اس نے لوگوں کو پیدا کیا ہے۔ اللہ کی بنائی ہوئی ساخت کو بدلنا نہیں ہے۔ یہی سیدھا دین ہے لیکن اکثر لوگ نہیں جانتے۔”
This verse profoundly connects faith to the very innate nature (fitrah) of every human being. It states that the predisposition to recognize and worship the One God is woven into our spiritual DNA. True faith, therefore, is not an alien concept but a return to our original, pure state.
faith from hadith.
The teachings and traditions of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), known as Hadith, provide the practical elaboration of the Quranic verses on faith. They give faith its shape and application in daily life. One of the most comprehensive and famous hadith defining the components of faith is:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Faith is to believe in Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and the Divine Decree, both the good and the bad thereof.” (Sahih Muslim)
A pillar of the Islamic faith is this hadith, also referred to as the Hadith of Jibril. It broadens the definition of faith to include a comprehensive worldview rather than just a belief in God. The foundation is laid by faith in Allah. Belief in His Angels acknowledges the unseen creation that executes His commands. The guidance comes from faith in His books, including the Quran. Belief in His Messengers provides the ideal human role models. Believing in the Last Day gives our actions meaning and accountability. Lastly, the knowledge that nothing occurs outside of Allah’s knowledge and will fosters patience and acceptance in those who believe in Divine Decree (Qadr). These six pillars work together to create a comprehensive and strong belief system.
daily prayers of the faithful.
Acts of worship that strengthen faith are interspersed throughout a believer’s everyday life. In addition to the five required prayers (Salah), the faithful turn to Allah for all of their needs through continuous supplication (Du’a). A thorough daily prayer is:
“O Allah, grant me wisdom that is helpful, wholesome provision, and good deeds.”
A believing heart’s deepest desires are encapsulated in this du’a. It rejects knowledge that does not advance faith and understanding in favour of knowledge that does. It calls for rizq (provision) that is not only plentiful but also pure (tayyib), obtained legally and applied morally. Lastly, it begs Allah to accept all of our actions, including worship and day-to-day interactions, since only He is able to give our deeds success and acceptance. The desire for holistic well-being in both religious and secular matters, all connected to the Creator’s pleasure, is reflected in this prayer.
prayers of the faithful and death.
Faith offers a particular framework for comprehending and facing death, turning it from a dreadful conclusion into a passage to a better life. The faithful primarily pray for mercy, forgiveness, and steadfastness when it comes to death. A popular and significant prayer is:
“Our Lord, please pardon us and our brethren who came before us in faith, and keep from us any animosity towards believers. You are merciful and kind, our Lord. (Al-Hashr Surah, 59:10)
The scope of this prayer, as taught in the Quran, is profound. It promotes a sense of global community and care beyond death by requesting forgiveness for oneself as well as for all departed believing brothers and sisters. Additionally, it actively works to prevent people from harbouring animosity towards other believers, maintaining community unity and a pure heart until a believer encounters their Lord. It recognises that the only hope for salvation in the Hereafter is Allah’s great kindness and mercy.
weddings prayers of the faithful allah made us give food and we only worship Allah.
Muslim marriage is a way to complete one’s faith and a sacred covenant (mithaqun ghalithun), in addition to being a social contract. During this time, prayers are offered for blessings, righteousness, and thankfulness. A prayer like this can incorporate the idea that “Allah made us give food and we only worship Allah”:
“Bless this union, O Allah. Let their home be a place of devotion to worshipping You alone, always, and thankfulness for Your provision.”
This prayer makes a clear connection between the happy occasion and its divine intent. It requests that the marriage be filled with barakah, or blessing. It specifically requests that the couple’s home be a place where they gratefully acknowledge the sustenance (rizq) that Allah provides and where worshipping Allah continues to be the main focus of their lives. In order to ensure happiness in this world and the next, it acknowledges that a successful marriage is one in which both partners uphold each other’s faith and morals, transforming their home into a place where Allah is remembered and His commandments are obeyed. These twenty Hadith quotes offer direction, insight, and wisdom into the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)..
