Dear brother/sister, belief in Allah means having heartfelt faith in His existence, oneness, attributes, and beautiful names without any doubt, and confirming this with deeds. According to the Ahl al-Sunnah creed, which is also the basis of the Hanafi school, the fundamental principles of belief in Allah are as follows: 1. Tawhid (Oneness): Believing that Allah is One in His essence, attributes, and actions, and that there is no deity other than Him. The Quran states: "Say: He is Allah, [Who is] One. Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, Nor is there to Him any equivalent." (Surah Al-Ikhlas, 1-4) 2. Believing in Perfect Attributes: Believing that Allah possesses eternal and pre-existent attributes worthy of His essence—such as life, knowledge, hearing (sam'), sight (basar), will, power, and speech (kalam)—and that He is exalted (free) from all imperfections. 3. Affirmation and Submission: This belief, affirmed by the heart, needs to be reinforced by verbal declaration and the servant's submission to Allah's commands. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) defined faith in the narration known as the Hadith of Jibril as follows: "Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in destiny—that both good and evil are from Allah." (Muslim, Iman, 1) Belief in Allah means living between fear and hope, with the consciousness of worship as if you see Him, and by taking refuge in His mercy. May our Lord make our faith permanent and perfect.
