The Correct Islamic Aqidah and that which opposes It by Shaykh Abdul-Aziz Ibn Baz

The correct Aqidah is the foundation of Islam and the foundation stone of the Islamic nation. It is known through evidences of the sharer’ah from the Book and the sunnah, that one’s actions and statements can only be correct and acceptable to Allah when they arise from a correct ‘Aqidah’. If, however, the Aqidah is not correct then actions and statements that arise due to it are invalid.

The evidences in the clear Book of Allah and in the the sunnah of his truthful Messenger sall Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam show the correct ‘Aqidah’ in brief, to be: Iman in Allah, his Angels, his Books, his Messengers, the last day, and Predestination the good and the bad of it. These six matters are the fundamentals of the correct ‘Aqidah’ with which Allah the Almighty revealed his book and sent his messenger Muhammad sall Allahu alayhi wa sallam.
