Deenelio Quiz — The Articles of Faith

Key concepts

The six articles and the unseen

In the hadith of Jibril, faith includes belief in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day and divine decree, both its good and its bad. Belief in the unseen means accepting what authentic revelation teaches beyond direct sight. Worship is directed sincerely to Allah, alongside prayer and zakat.
Angels and their entrusted tasks

Angels were created from light; the Quran describes the jinn’s origin as a smokeless flame. Angels obey Allah’s commands. Recording angels know people’s deeds, and an observer records their speech. The Quran names the Angel of Death by his task and Malik in the inhabitants of Hell’s appeal; it describes eight bearers of the Throne on the Last Day.
Revelation and the messengers

The messengers’ shared call was to worship Allah and reject false gods. The Quran confirms earlier revealed books and serves as a guardian over them. Surah Al-Ala also mentions the earlier scrolls of Ibrahim and Musa. These references connect the message of the Quran with the history of revelation.
Resurrection and individual responsibility

The Quran answers doubts about reviving bones by recalling that Allah created them the first time. No person carries another’s burden of sin: each remains responsible for their own acts. Allah alone knows the Hour’s precise time, so belief in the Last Day calls for preparation rather than predictions.
Faith expressed in conduct

The hadith on faith’s branches places the declaration of Allah’s oneness at the highest level and removing a hazard from the road at the lowest. Modesty is another branch. This links belief, speech and useful conduct. The Quran describes believers whose faith increases when Allah’s verses are recited to them.
