Belief in angels is anther principle of fath in Islam. Angels obey Allah and never disobey Him .Angels' functions are to strengthen believers against their enemies, carry out Divine punishment, and record men's deeds; all these action are done in obedience to Allah
The Angel Gibreel conveyed Allah's revelation to His prophets and apostles.
Belief in All Revealed Scriptures
A Muslim should believe in all revealed Scriptures; Book of Moses, The Book of Christ , the Book of David, and Holy Quran, the Book of Islam. With the Holy Quran of Islam revelation is made perfect . In the previous Revealed Books. a revelation was granted of suit a certain nation in certain time and a certain place . then a time came when a final revelation was to be granted to suit all nation in all times and all places . thus came the Holy Quran for all peoples all places and all time .Unfortunately revealed religion before Islam underwent some alteration trivial in some cases and basic some others.
The Quran orders Moslem to believe in all prophets and all revealed books their true forms
Belief in All Prophets
In Islam, the prophet or the apostle is person selected by God to convey God's message and guidance to people Allah sent many prophets to many nation to guide them .Allah's sending prophets is out of His mercy and justice.the mercy of Allah here lice in the fact that He want to guide His creations and the justice of Allah lies in the fact that guidance precede reward or punishment in the other life .A Muslem is told to believe in all prophets such as Abraham, Ishmail, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad ,This is necessary because Islam is the final religion that has been sent to all peoples races .Thus Islam includes all previous revealed religions .All prophets were sent by Allah and a muslem submits to Allah . therefire, amuslem should a accept and respect all propheis.
Belief in life after Death
The fifth principle of Islamic faith is to believe in life after death. This belief in life after death is a result of believe in Allah , angels, prophets , and Revealed Books .if you believe in all these, you must believe in what Allah says through prophets in Revealed Books there is a life after death.
Believing in life after death is significant in several ways:
* In Islam death is not the end of life .Death is just a transition to the second life .
* in Isalm human life does not end It has two phases ;a life before death and a life after death .
*Believing in life after death makes person more responsible for his deeds in the first life. Cuz a person will be rewarded for his good deeds and punished for his bad deeds in the other life.
* Life after death makes the whole thing look fair and just. Your honesty in this life may entail your poverty .Another person's dishonesty may entail his richness .if thing end up this way, life looks so unreasonable and good behavior pays little .Fortunately ,according to Islam, there is life after death, where each person is rewarded or punished for his deeds in the first life.
*life after death makes a person's life well-balanced .In Islam a person must work for this life as if he lives forever and must work for the other life as if he dies tomorrow . In other words , a Moslem should work for this life bearing in mind that there is another life where he questioned and rewarded or punished according to his deeds in the first life . Thus life is made to have an aim obeying Allah and worshipping Him
Belief in Predestination
The sixth principle of faith in Islam is to believe in Predestination whether good or evil .of course this principle does not contradict man's responsibility and free will .man is free in his choices and that is why he is responsible for his deeds in this life and in the other life. But cuz man is limited in all aspects and attributes including free will the only explanation is that man's will cannot go against Allah's absolute will . Further the choices of man are affected by external and internal factor that he cannot sometime overcome . That is why Allah forgives Believing in Predestination helps man to adapt to life since man is not wholly responsible for all that happens
Man has admit that he cannot control every thing and is not therefore responsible for every thing .Man has to accept his own limitation and admit that he is subject to factors external to his will. This belief puts man un his actual size and position and does not overburden him with loads and responsibilities whish he cannot shoulder.
