1. The Day of Qiyaamah will take place on a Friday. This will be the last day of this world. Allah Ta‘ala will destroy this entire universe. Besides Allah Ta‘ala, nobody knows the exact date when the universe will come to an end. [1]
2. Allah Ta‘ala will instruct Hazrat Israafeel (‘alaihis salaam) to blow the soor (trumpet) which is shaped like a horn. The sound of the trumpet will initially be soft, but it will continue increasing in volume, until the sound will be so loud and frightening that it will cause every living person or creature to die. [2]
1. Taqdeer refers to the absolute and complete knowledge of Allah Ta‘ala. In other words, Allah Ta‘ala has complete knowledge of everything and every occurrence, whether good or bad, or whether the past, present or future, before its occurrence. [1]
2. Allah Ta‘ala has given human beings the ability to do good deeds or bad deeds. For the good deeds they carry out, they will be rewarded, and for the bad deeds they carry out, they will be punished, unless Allah Ta‘ala forgives them. [2]
3. All conditions, whether favourable or unfavourable, are from Allah Ta‘ala alone. Therefore, a believer should neither be boastful over any favour he enjoys nor should he complain and be displeased over any misfortune that he suffers. He should be grateful for the favours Allah Ta‘ala bestows him with and be patient at the time of difficulty or misfortune. [3]
Beliefs Regarding the Divine Scriptures – Part Three
Written by user25. The Quraan Majeed is the final divine book and was revealed to Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). Through the Quraan Majeed being revealed, all other divine books have been abrogated. [1]
6. Allah Ta‘ala has taken the divine onus and responsibility to protect and preserve the Quraan Majeed until the Day of Qiyaamah. Hence, no changes or distortions can be made in the Quraan Majeed. As far as the other divine books are concerned, then Allah Ta‘ala had entrusted their protection to the people. Hence, interpolations and distortions entered their books. [2]
7. The Quraan Majeed was revealed over a period of 23 years. Various aayaat (verses) from different parts of the Quraan Majeed were revealed at different times. Allah Ta‘ala instructed Hazrat Jibra’eel (‘alaihis salaam) to show Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) which aayaat belong to which surah and what sequence they should be placed in. [3]
3. Among the famous divine books that were revealed by Allah Ta‘ala are the following four books; the Tauraah which was revealed to Nabi Moosa (‘alaihis salaam), the Injeel which was revealed to Nabi Isa (‘alaihis salaam), the Zaboor which was revealed to Nabi Dawood (‘alaihis salaam), and the Quraan Majeed which was revealed to Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). [1]
4. Nabi Ebrahim (‘alaihis salaam) received his scriptures on the first of the month of Ramadhaan. Nabi Moosa (‘alaihis salaam) received the Tauraah on the sixth of Ramadhaan. Nabi Isa (‘alaihis salaam) received the Injeel on the thirteenth of Ramadhaan. Nabi Dawood (‘alaihis salaam) received the Zaboor on the twelfth or eighteenth of Ramadhaan. The Quraan Majeed was sent down from the Lowh-e-Mahfooz to the first heaven on the twenty-fourth of Ramadhaan. Thereafter, the entire Quraan Majeed was revealed upon Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) over a period of 23 years. [2]
1. Allah Ta‘ala revealed many divine books and scriptures to the various Ambiyaa (‘alaihimus salaam) for the guidance of their people. We have been informed of some of these divine books and scriptures in the Quraan Majeed and Mubaarak Ahaadith, while we have not been informed of others. [1]
2. We bring Imaan in all the divine books and scriptures that were revealed upon all the Ambiyaa (‘alaihimus salaam) by Allah Ta‘ala in their original form in which they were revealed. We do not believe in the altered and fabricated versions that are changed by people and are wrongly attributed to Allah Ta‘ala. [2]
12. From the Quraan Majeed and Mubaarak Ahaadith, we come to know that Allah Ta‘ala has assigned various tasks and duties to different angels. [1]
13. Some angels are in charge of Jannah and some of Jahannum. Some angels are tasked with the duty of protecting children, the old, the weak and others whom Allah Ta‘ala wishes to protect. [2]
14. The angels remain in the company of the Muslims. They make dua for them and protect them from harm. Speaking lies, committing sins and evils, keeping dogs or pictures of animate objects in the home causes the angels to leave the home. Hence, a believer should not commit these types of sins so that he does not chase the angels away and become deprived of their company and blessings. [3]

9. There are two angels that are always with every person. One angel records all his good deeds while the other records all his evil deeds. These angels are known as Kiraaman Kaatibeen. [1]

11. Every Muslim is accompanied by an angel and a shaitaan (devil). The angel encourages him towards good and the shaitaan urges him towards evil. [3]
4. The four famous angels which are tasked with great duties are: Hazrat Jibra’eel (‘alaihis salaam), Hazrat Mikaa’eel (‘alaihis salaam), Hazrat Izraa’eel (‘alaihis salaam) and Hazrat Israafeel (‘alaihis salaam). [1]
5. Hazrat Jibra’eel (‘alaihis salaam) brought Allah Ta‘ala’s divine books, orders and messages to all the Ambiyaa (‘alaihimus salaam). At times, he was also sent to help the Ambiyaa (‘alaihimus salaam) and fight against their enemies. [2]
6. Hazrat Mikaa’eel (‘alaihis salaam) is in charge of food and rain. Other angels work under him and are in charge of controlling the clouds, the seas, the rivers and the winds. He receives orders from Allah Ta‘ala, and thereafter conveys the orders to other angels who are under his command.See 1
7. Hazrat Izraa’eel (‘alaihis salaam) is commanded by Allah Ta‘ala to extract the souls of living creatures. Numerous angels work under him. Some take away the lives of good people, in a good way, while others take away the lives of sinners and disbelievers in a terrifying way. [3]
8. Hazrat Israafeel (‘alaihis salaam) will be commanded by Allah Ta‘ala to blow the soor (trumpet) on the Day of Qiyaamah. The sound of the trumpet will cause every living creature to die and will cause everything on earth and in the skies to be destroyed. After fourty years, he will blow the trumpet for the second time, and everything will return to life with the order of Allah Ta‘ala. [4]

2. Allah Ta‘ala has given them various duties to perform. They fulfil whatever Allah Ta‘ala has commanded them to fulfil, and do not disobey Allah Ta‘ala. [2]

Beliefs Regarding the Ambiyaa (‘alaihimus salaam) – Part Three
Written by user27. As a sign of the Nabi’s prophethood, Allah Ta‘ala allows the Nabi to carry out certain mu’jizaat (miracles). However, it should be understood that the Nabi is a human being, and he is unable to perform miracles of his own accord. It is only through the divine permission and with the divine help of Allah Ta‘ala that miracles are performed at the hands of the Nabi. [1]
8. The first Prophet is Nabi Aadam (‘alaihis salaam), and the final Prophet is Hazrat Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). All the other Ambiyaa (‘alaihimus salaam) came between these two Prophets. [2]

Beliefs Regarding Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) – Part Four
Written by user26. The greatest blessing which Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) received from Allah Ta‘ala was the blessing of Mi’raaj. Mi’raaj refers to the miraculous journey in which Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was taken from Makkah Mukarramah to Baytul Maqdis.
Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was taken on this journey with his physical body in a wakeful state. After reaching Baytul Maqdis, Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was commanded to lead all the Ambiyaa and Rasuls (‘alaihimus salaam) in salaah which signified that he was the leader of all the prophets of Allah Ta‘ala.
From there, Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was taken to the seven heavens and beyond, until he was blessed with the vision of Jannah and Jahannum and the honour of seeing Allah Ta‘ala and speaking to Him.
It was during this journey that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) received the gift of the five daily salaah. [1]
