Angel Jibreel (Gabriel) came to prophet (SAW) while he was sitting with his companion. Umar (RA) described that he was wearing very white cloth and had dark hair. There were no signs of travel in him. He sat close to the prophet (SAW) and He said, “Tell me about Eeman.”
He (the prophet SAW) replied, “It is to believe in Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the Last Day, and to believe in Divine Destiny (Al-Qadar), both the good and the evil of it.”
He said, “You have spoken rightly.”
The scholars divide the belief into these 6 (six) categories, i.e. believing in
Allah SWT
His angels
His books
His Messengers
The Last Day
Al-Qadar (Divine Destiny).
The first pillar of Eemaan i.e. believing in Allah SWT is covered in detail in two separate AlMaghrib aqeedah courses. Sheikh Waleed mentioned that the purpose of this seminar is to make us familiar with the Unseen world as these five pillars are from the unseen world. Even though the people in their time met the respective Messenger, to us it is also from the unseen.
Sheikh also included the discussion about the Jinn since this also is part of the unseen world.
