A Muslim must have Imaan.Imaan means to have firm belief in six things:
1. The first to believe in Allah, to believe that He exists, He is One, and He Alone is the Creator, Sustainer and Lord over everything, and He Alone is worthy of worship.
2. The second is to believe in the angels who are also the creation of Allah. Allah created them from light, and they always obey Him. They have been assigned various tasks which they carry out faithfully. Some of them were given the task of carrying the Message to the Prophets. Others are assigned to record the good and bad actions of human beings. Only Allah knows how many they are, but there are four who are quite well known to us, they are Jibril, Mika'il, `Izra'il and Israfil.
3. The third is to believe in Allah's Prophets. They were His Messengers on this earth, and were responsible teaching Islam to their people. They came to teach people to do good, and live their lives according what they preached. The first man was also a Prophet, and he was Adam [Allah's peace and
and blessings be upon him]. Some other famous ones are Nuh (Noah), Ibrahim (Abraham) Isma'il (Ishmael), Ishaq (Isaac), Musa (Moses) and Lut (Lot) and Isa (Jesus) [Allah's peace and blessings be upon them]. Muslims must believe in all the Prophets and give them the due respect, but they should not be worshipped.
4. The fourth is to believe in the Books of Allah. Allah revealed Books to His Prophets. These Books contain the guidance of Allah for mankind. The Noble Qur'an is the Book revealed to our Prophet Muhammad [Allah's peace and blessings be upon him]. The three Books known to us which were revealed before the Qur'an are the Torah which was revealed to Musa, the Psalms (Zabur) which was sent down to Dawud (David), and the Injil (Old Bible) which was given to `Isa (Jesus) [Allah's peace, and blessings be upon them]. Some people who are disobedient to Allah have distorted some of the books to mislead the people. Allah has protected the Noble Qur'an from any kind of distortion.
5. The fifth is to believe in life after death. A Muslim has to believe that life in this world will come to an end. Everything in this world will perish. Then Allah will bring all human beings back to life and then get sent to Jannah (heaven) or Jahannam (Hell) according to their deeds which they did while they lived on earth. The people who did good will have everything that they could possibly want, as a reward for their good deeds. The people who have been disobedient to Allah's Commands will be cast into a big Fire as punishment for their bad deeds.
6. The sixth is to believe that everything comes from Allah. This means that Allah knows everything that is going to happen whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. Nothing in this world takes place without His Permission or Knowledge. If something good happens to a Muslim, he should thank Allah for it. He should be patient and ask Allah for relief if something bad happens to him.
"And hold fast, all of you together, to the rope of Allah." [Al-Imran: 3:103].
