HARUN YAHYA

Matters upon Which the Ahl al-Sunnah
wal Jama‘ah Agree

1) Belief in Allah (swt)
Believing in Allah’s (swt) names, as referred to in the Qur’an
and the Sunnah, is Islam’s basic tenet. It is impossible to
bestow titles befitting human beings on Allah (swt), for He
cannot be compared with His own creation. Each of His names
has been mentioned in the Qur’an. Great care must be taken
here, and no credence should be given to heretical views.
So long as people consider themselves Muslim, they must
harbor no doubts about their faith and must not regard them-
selves as unbelievers due to any deficiencies they may have, so
long as they have faith in their hearts. Having such a misguided
perspective as regards their own faith is very harmful in terms
of our belief. Indeed, our Lord reveals the following in the
Qur’an:

Who could say anything better than someone who
calls to Allah, acts rightly, and says: “I am a Muslim”?
(Surah Fussilat, 33)

2) The Ahl al-Sunnah’s Belief in the Qur’an
The Qur’an is the word of Allah (swt). It came from Allah’s
(swt) presence and will return to Him. It is the last and final
Divine book, and the only book of truth that will remain valid
until the Day of Judgment.
You receive the Qur’an directly from One Who is
All-Wise, All-Knowing. (Surat an-Naml, 6)
