As Muslims, our belif is built on three essential principles: belief in Allah as our Lord, Islam as our religion, and Muhammad (ﷺ) as our prophet. These beliefs form the foundation of our devotion to Allah and shape how we live our lives.
The Importance of Loving Allah, Muhammad (ﷺ), and Islam
Our belief as Muslims means that we should love Allah, His Messenger Muhammad (ﷺ), and Islam more than anything else—more than ourselves, our families, our wealth, or even all of humanity. This deep love guides our actions, words, and thoughts, and it strengthens our connection with our Creator.
The Three Questions in the Grave
One of the most significant aspects of our belief is what happens after death, particularly the questioning in the grave. According to a well-known hadith (Recorded by Ahmad, Abu Dawud and others; verified to be authentic by Al-Albani (Sahih ul-Jami’ no. 1676)) every individual will be asked three critical questions when they enter the grave:
1. Who is your Lord?
2. What is your religion?
3. Who is your prophet?
These questions are central to our belief, and the ability to answer them correctly depends on how we lived our lives in accordance with these core principles.
