It is a belief that there is One and Only Originator of this universe[1] Who not only brought all the matter and energy into existence out of nothing but Who therefrom created innumerable types and forms of inanimate and animate objects[2]. He is All-Powerful[3] Who not only brings things into existence but also nourishes them, sustains them, maintains them, regularizes them and directs them from their earliest state to that of ultimate completion and perfection[4]. He has framed all the laws of nature under which things would assume various shapes and forms, and has determined the ratios and proportions in which various elements must combine with one another to result in various compounds and objects[5]. He has regularized different stages through which all things, including human beings must pass on the way to their completion and perfection[6], and also has made sure the creation of necessary provisions[7] for all the beings in the journey to their ultimate destination. He is Allah[8], the One and Only, Single, Unique, Absolutely Independent and Eternal. There is nothing like Him and nothing comparable to Him[9]. To Him belong all the Perfect Attributes[10].

It is a belief that Allah is the One Who created human beings[11], giving them freedom of choice in beliefs[12] and actions[13], and providing them all the necessary guidance for their life through His chosen Messengers, clearly distinguishing for them the right way from the way of error[14].  It is a belief that He sent His Messengers {including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus (peace be upon all of them)} with His guidance[15], who modelled an exemplary behaviour for the people to emulate, and Muhammad (peace be upon him) was the Last of His Messengers[16] and the Holy Quran is the latest and the last version of His Guidance (encompassing all the essential and unadulterated elements of the Torah, the Bible or any other Divine Book)[17].

It is a belief that Allah is the One Who created entities called Malaika, who put into effect His laws, plans, programs and schemes in the universe[18], and some of them act as a means of communicating His Guidance to His Chosen Messengers[19].

It is a belief that one day, Allah will call all human beings to account[20], be it in this world or in the life after death. He is all-powerful and all-capable to bring the death back to life[21] as He was capable to originally bring things into existence out of nothing. It is a belief that those who lead life according to His guidance will ultimately have a paradisiacal life and those who live contrary to his guidance will end up in hell[22]. And it is a belief that mankind can fulfil its physical, mental and spiritual potentials best by following a way of life that is in accordance with His Laws and Guidance[23].
