What is iman?
Jibreel came as a man and asked the Prophet ﷺ about iman. The answer gives us the six things every Muslim believes.
“Iman is that you believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers and the Last Day, and that you believe in qadr (the decree), its good and its bad.”
This is part of the famous 'hadith of Jibreel', which also explains Islam and ihsan.
The six pillars
1. Belief in Allah
2. Belief in His angels
3. Belief in His books
4. Belief in His messengers
5. Belief in the Last Day
6. Belief in qadr: everything happens by Allah's knowledge and will
