His guidance

The Teachings of Allah

A belief to hold in the heart, and a way to live it out each day.

Where guidance comes from

The Qur’an & the Sunnah


The Qur’an

The Qur’an is understood by Muslims as the literal, preserved word of Allah, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad over twenty-three years. It is Allah speaking to humanity — guidance, mercy, and light for those who reflect.

The Sunnah

The Sunnah is the example of the Prophet Muhammad — his sayings, actions, and approvals, recorded in the hadith. It shows how the Qur’an’s teachings are lived, turning revelation into a way of life.

The Six Articles of Faith


The core beliefs that give Islam its shape — what a believing heart affirms.

1

Belief in Allah

The one God — Creator, Sustainer, and the only one worthy of worship.

2

His Angels

Beings of light who serve Allah and carry out His commands, unseen to us.

3

His Books

The revelations sent through history — the Torah, Psalms, Gospel, and the Qur’an as the final revelation.

4

His Prophets

The messengers from Adam through Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, to Muhammad, the final prophet.

5

The Day of Judgment

This life is a test; we will be raised, held to account, and met with Allah’s justice and mercy.

6

Divine Decree

Everything unfolds within Allah’s knowledge and will — a source of trust and peace.
