_Sahih Bukhari Hadees No. 9_
** Narrated by Abu Hurairah (RA) **
The ninth hadees in Sahih Bukhari is a profound teaching on the essence of faith. Abu Hurairah (RA) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
"Faith is to believe in:
- Allah
- His Angels
- His Books
- His Messengers
- The Day of Resurrection
- The Divine Decree (Qadr) - the good and the bad of it"
(Translation: Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 1, Book 2, Hadees 9)
This hadees outlines the six fundamental articles of faith in Islam, which form the foundation of a Muslim's belief system. The Prophet (peace be upon him) emphasizes the importance of accepting and affirming these core tenets, which are:
1. Belief in Allah (Tawhid)
2. Belief in the Angels (Malakut)
3. Belief in the Revealed Books (Kutub)
4. Belief in the Prophets (Anbiya')
5. Belief in the Day of Resurrection (Qiyamah)
6. Belief in the Divine Decree (Qadr)
This hadees serves as a reminder and guidance for Muslims to strengthen their faith and renew their commitment to these essential beliefs.
