_Sahih Bukhari Hadees No. 9_<br /><br />** Narrated by Abu Hurairah (RA) **<br /><br />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:<br /><br />"Faith is to believe in:<br /><br />- Allah<br />- His Angels<br />- His Books<br />- His Messengers<br />- The Day of Resurrection<br />- The Divine Decree (Qadr) - the good and the bad of it"<br /><br />(Translation: Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 1, Book 2, Hadees 9)<br /><br />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:<br /><br />1. Belief in Allah (Tawhid)<br />2. Belief in the Angels (Malakut)<br />3. Belief in the Revealed Books (Kutub)<br />4. Belief in the Prophets (Anbiya')<br />5. Belief in the Day of Resurrection (Qiyamah)<br />6. Belief in the Divine Decree (Qadr)<br /><br />This hadees serves as a reminder and guidance for Muslims to strengthen their faith and renew their commitment to these essential beliefs.
