Series of Muslim’s Knowledge (3)
A Knowledge of the Islamic Credos
By: Sayyed Muhammad Ali Al-Husseini lebanese
Researches of the Islamic credo are regarded as the bases that straighten Muslim identity. Therefore we find that the Glorious Qur'an has made the credo ascends toward Allah the Almighty .
Allah the Exalted said: ( To Him do ascend the good words , and the good deeds lift them up) [1] . We think that the (good words) are the true credos that are translated by the mankind into practical behaviors. And the main credo is al-Tawhid ( monotheism) , that on which all of other credos depend . And according to the theory that says there should be a unity between the believer and the believable object , we can say the the credo's ascending is the believer's ascending .
The good deed has another rule for establishing and fixing the credo , whereas the good deed is repeated ; the belief got more stable and more clear and becomes more influence . So if the good deed has been done for the sake of Allah , it will help the true credo to ascend toward Allah.
Based on that , I ask Allah the Exalted to make this book useful for my believer brothers , and to guide the author through this open way , He is Hearing Responding .

In the Name of Allah , the Beneficent , the Merciful
Therefore the credo is regarded the first but the noblest of whole sciences and knowledge.
“Credo” or “theology ” they both give the same meaning, It is the evidence of Allah's presence and singleness and talking about His positive and negative characters , His justice, His Prophets and guardians , and the Day of Judgment .
Here are the origins of the religion ( Osul Al- din ): Tawhid (monotheism) , Adl (justice ), Prophecy , Imamah (Guardian) , and Ma’ad ( the Day of Judgment).In this book which is titled ' A Knowledge of the Islamic Credos '
1. What the religion is .
2. The role of the religion and its importance .
3. The Islam
4. The principles and the branches of the religion.
5. The principles of the religion.
What the Religion is
Religion literally means “obedience” ; He Exalted said :
(And religion is His forever ) [2]
Which means , the permanent obedience is for Him.
Also He Exalted said: (… nor follow the religion of truth ) [3]
Sometimes the word ( religion ) means ( judgment) as the Almighty Allah said : ( Master of the Day of Judgment ) [4]
So the literally meaning of religion is “ obedience” or “ judgment”.
The conventional meaning of the religion is to believe in the creator of the universe, the mankind , instructions and practical duties that fit for that faith . Therefore , those who don’t believe by the creator are called (unbelievers).
The role and importance of religion:
Maybe somebody asks ; What is the profit of a religion? Or he maybe says : A religion might causes harms to people ! And so on.
We shall say: A religion is a divine rule that organizes the life of individuals and societies, to have them reach the perfection and promotion in all significant fields of the humans life .
Here are some of these rules :
1. Correcting and purifying thoughts and credos from illusions and superstitions. Indeed a religion explains the fact of the universe as a creation of an expert creator who created and formed matter , and limited it by rules and laws. A religion also explains that , the humanity life is not existed by chance and people are not created without goal , but there is a high purpose that could be reached by following the directions of prophets whom sent by Allah.
2. Promotion the morals principles :
Religious creeds are the source of morals principles , since observance of values are usually combined by difficulties and pains ,so that man couldn’t bear them unless he’s got a spiritual factor that eases the pains and removes the difficulties for him. Believing by Allah the Glorious is the best factor for easement misfortunes and pains on one side , and to suspense the mankind to self-sacrifice for the sake of right , justice , and for helping poor people on the other side.
3. Improving social relationships:
The religious creed supports social fundamentals , since religious man considers them as obligatory duties that he is not aloud to oppose , for example : respecting family and promote relations with relatives and so on.
4. Abolition of ethnic contrast :
The religion considers humans as they are created for the same principle. People are as equal as teeth of com, there is no difference between Arabic and or non- Arabic , white or black.
The previous four points show the clear influence role of religion .After clarifying these points , nobody should neglect religion either because of irresponsibility and tendency toward ease and relaxation , or because thinking that believing in religion can put more restriction on him or deprives him from some activities that are desirable to his soul.
So that the Holy Qur'an has described those who are inattentive as animals but worse than animals as the following verse shows:
(And certainly We have created for Hell many of the jinn and the men ; they have hearts with which they do not understand , and they have eyes with which they do not see , and they have ears with which they do not hear , they are as cattle , nay , they are in worse errors , these are the heedless ones ) [5]
The Islam
Islam has two meanings , common and proper.
Common Islam:
It is obeying Allah orders and directions and following His rules and judgments.
His Almighty says :
( Surly the true religion with Allah is Islam ) [6]
A Muslim is the one who follows rules and judgments that Allah revealed .
Depending on that , Islam is founded in the time of Adam , Nuh , Abraham , Moses , Jesus , and the seal of the prophets and messengers Muhammad (p.b)

Peace and blessing be upon the master of apostles and messengers , and upon his pure pleasant family.

All praise is due to Allah the Lord of the whole worlds , the Sender of apostles and messengers to be mercy for people . Who Sealed by the Prophet Muhammad (P.b.h) the master of the earliest and the latest, and by his guardian Amirul Mu’minin Ali (P.b) , followed by Hassan and Hussein and the nine infallible (P.b) , the safety ship , the pure ahlul bayt (P.b) , God bless them and curse their enemies from the earliest and the latest till the Day of Judgment.
It was supposed to start this blessing series ( Ma’ariful Muslim) with the credo even before Qur'an and Fiqh, since the credo is the base of the religion.
Mind could realize the existence of Allah through evidences like ( cause and effect ) , (organizing and the organizer ), and ( evidence and authority ) , since Allah is the Cause , the Organizer, and the Creator of the world . Then the claimer of prophecy brings the miracle that the mind believe in , then comes the religion to supports what the mind has realized. Finally we follow the Prophet (P.b.h) imitating his saying , his deed , and his confirmation , and working according to Fiqh and Qur'an. Ten come all other things .
Therefore the credo is regarded the first but the noblest of whole sciences and knowledge.
“Credo” or “theology ” they both give the same meaning, It is the evidence of Allah's presence and singleness and talking about His positive and negative characters , His justice, His Prophets and guardians , and the Day of Judgment .
Here are the origins of the religion ( Osul Al- din ): Tawhid (monotheism) , Adl (justice ), Prophecy , Imamah (Guardian) , and Ma’ad ( the Day of Judgment).
We have discussed the origins of the religion from the point of view of mind , the Holy Qur'an , the Prophet’s traditions ( Sunna), and his infallible family (P.b) .
We wish that the God of the worlds accepted it the best acceptance to intercede for us on the Day of Judgment . We also wish that the honorable readers forgive us , draw our attention to our mistakes , and not forget us in their prayer. Especially our teacher , Ayatullah Sayed Kamal Al-Haydari , - God bless and Guard him – who reviewed and introduced this book. We ask Allah the Exalted to bless him.
Peace upon all our believers brothers.
