Aqeedah (Creed) And Its Significance In Islam | AIM Conference 2024 NJ | Muhammed Ali

Muhammed Ali delivers an extensive aqeedah (creed) lecture emphasizing that true readiness for defending Muslims (e.g. in Palestine) requires deep knowledge of Islamic belief, not just activism. He systematically explains belief in Allah through four pillars: belief in His existence (with four evidences: fitrah, intellect, experience, Sharia), His lordship (Rububiyyah), His right to be worshipped alone (Uluhiyyah), and His names and attributes (Asma wa Sifat). He stresses following the Quran, Sunnah, and understanding of the Salaf (righteous predecessors), warning against innovated groups (Jahmiyyah, Mu'tazilah, Ash'ariyyah, Shi'a, Khawarij, Sufis) who deviate by prioritizing intellect over text or inventing beliefs. Muhammed underscores that aqeedah is foundational to faith, that all of Allah's attributes are perfect, and that Muslims must affirm them on their apparent meaning without distortion, negation, or likening them to creation.
