In the face of the present-day onslaught of varied ideologies and beliefs, this course will endeavour to introduce, at a basic level, the fundamental beliefs every Muslim must adhere to. It will begin with an overview of True Faith, or Iman, followed by multiple lessons on Allah and His Attributes. Other fundamentals of faith, such as the belief in Prophets, Divine Books, Angels, Divine Decree and the Last Day will be explored in a refreshing, relevant and easy-to-understand manner.


By taking this course, you will embark upon a journey to learn the necessary matters of religion which every Muslim is required to affirm and believe in wholeheartedly. This course will allow you to develop an understanding of the true meaning of Tawhid (monotheism) as intended by the Shari'ah and explained by the Pious Predecessors (Salaf).
