The Meaning Of Imaan In Allaah?
al-Haafidh al-Hakamee [1377H] -Rahimullaah-

Question:

What is the meaning of imaan in Allaah?

Answer:

It is to have firm faith, from the bottom of oneýs heart in the existence of Allaah, the Most High, who has never been preceded by anyone and who will not be followed by anyone (since He is Eternal, Ever Living).

He is the First, there is nothing before Him, and He is the Last, there is nothing after Him (since He is Eternal, Ever Living), He is the Most High, there is nothing above Him, He is the hidden there is nothing below Him. The Ever-Living, the One who sustains and protects all that exists, the Self-Sufficient, "He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none equal or comparable unto Him" (al-Ikhlaas: 3-4)

(And to have imaan in) His tawheed (oneness) is in His uluhiyyah (worship), His rububiyyah (Lordship) and His Asmaa was-Sifaat (Names and Attributes).
