Why are the six pillar of imam important?

Answer 1

Answer:

They are called the "six articles of faith", not to be confused with the "five pillars" of practice.

A person who does not believe in all six articles of faith is not complete in his belief. In fact, negation of any one single article of faith, removes one from being a believer.

1) There is no deity but God, Alone. He has no partners, no equals.

Neither Jesus, nor anyone else who has ever walked on Earth is God. Jesus was a Servant of God. If he is called a "son" of God, then it is meant ONLY in the meaning given in the Hebrew language: 'true, good servant'.

2) God's Angels.

That God created the Angels for whatever reason and purpose He had. They have no power within themselves - they only do what they are commaded. Though God does not need anyone in order to carry out His Will, yet He willed to create them, and use them for different purposes. Some angels are recording - your life. The Angel Gabriel is the Messenger to the Prophets (and is, in factwhat The Bible is talking about when it refers to the "Holy Spirit", believe it or not. Some angels come to serve the people of Heaven; other angels are assigned the task of severely punishing those in Hell. The Angels of God do not hesitate, for a moment, to carry out His Will.

3) God's Prophets and Messengers.

The first person to communicate with God - and deliver the message to people - was Adam. Adam was the first Prophet of God. Then there were many, many prophets - sent to every nation on Earth. After Abraham, however, the only Prophets and Messengers came from his descendants.

A 'prophet' is one who is guided by God - and leads the people. A 'messenger' is a prophet who also is given a scripture. The Messengers that are mentioned in the Qur'an (though there were more) are: Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus and Muhammad. Each was given a Book.

4) God's Books.

We believe that God did truly reveal certain books; but that each of these books are not in their original forms - with some forgery and mistakes in them - except the Final Book - the Qur'an. The books of God that are mentioned are: The Scrolls of Abraham, The Torah of Moses, The Psalms of David, The Gospel (injeel, eveangel, in Arabic) of Jesus, and the Qur'an.

5) Heaven and Hell.

We believe in Heaven and Hell as physical realities. On the Day of Judgment, people will be assigned either to Heaven, or to Hell. All who enter Heaven remain there. But many people enter Hell for a period of time only. Ultimately, God will remove from Hell every person who had a small seed of true faith in the ONENESS OF GOD. This is important. Anyone who worships more than one god - or makes someone into a partner to God - will NOT leave Hell. Ever.

6) The "Qadr" determination of God, and free will.

We believe that Mankind is given free will; but that his or her free will is confined to that which God has determined for his or her life. In other words, a person has a choice whether to believe in and obey the ONE GOD, or not. Then, God tests each and evry one by what He has already written for them. So God determines who you are, where and when you are born, when you will die, how much wealth you will have, and what events occur in your life (whether good or bad). Your free will (and hence, your being held responsible on the Day of Judgment) is what you DO, with what God has written for you.

Finally; these articles of faith are simply the very samerticles of faith that EVERY Prophet taught. They are the only valid beliefs of not only the Qur'an, but the Bible as well.
