STATEMENT OF FAITH

OUR AQEEDAH (CREED)

Tawheed (Allah's Oneness)

We believe in the Oneness of Allah according to the understanding of prophet Muhammad and the first three generations. We are Athari (textualists). That means we take our creed from Primary Sources (Quran, Sunnah, consensus of the Companions). We affirm what Allah affirmed for himself literally. We don't ask how, we don't deny and we don't interpret his Attributes. We remain silent where the prophet remained silent.

Quran & Sunnah (The method of the Prophet Muhammad)

We believe the Quran is the uncreated Speech of Allah and the Sunnah is its authoritative explanation. The Quran is the final authority and the authentic hadith explain it in detail and it is binding.
