Iman lives in the heart

The pillars are things we do. Iman is what we believe in our hearts. Muslims believe in six important things.

The six beliefs

1. Allah, the One God. 2. His angels, like Jibreel. 3. His books: the Quran, the Tawrah, the Zabur and the Injil. 4. His messengers and prophets. 5. The Day of Judgement. 6. Qadr: that Allah knows and plans everything.

Why it matters

Believing these things helps us feel safe, because Allah is always in charge. It helps us try our best, because every good deed counts.

“Iman is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in Qadr, the good and the bad of it.”
Hadith of Jibreel, Sahih Muslim (meaning)
