Īmān and belief in the Qur’ān and the Sabīl library
What īmān believes in, as the Qur’ān and the ḥadīth of Jibrīl name it, who the believers are, and how faith increases, with every source listed.

The edition the app uses renders īmān as faith, and its verb as believe. In the verses below it is what a person believes in, and also something in the heart that can increase, which the Qur’ān names alongside prayer, spending and patience. This page follows both. It sets out what is believed in, as the Qur’ān names it and as the ḥadīth of Jibrīl lists it; then the verses that describe the believers; then the verses that speak of faith increasing. Every verse is shown with Tanzil’s Arabic and its meaning in the edition the app uses, and every narration is named by its collection and number at the end. Some verses are shown with the edition’s own notes beneath them; those are that edition’s words, not this page’s, some give the edition’s own teaching, and this page has not checked them. The page gives no ruling; for your own circumstances, ask a scholar.
What is believed in
The Qur’ān names the things believed in more than once. One verse says that the Messenger believes in what was sent down to him from his Lord, as do the believers, and that all of them believe in Allah, His angels, His Books and His messengers.
Manzon Allah yã yi ĩmãni da abin da aka saukar zuwa gare shi daga Ubangijinsa, da mũminai. Kõwanensu yã yi ĩmãni da Allah, da mala'ikunSa, da littattafanSa, da manzanninSa. Bã mu rarrabẽwa a tsakãnin daya daga manzanninSa. Kuma (mũminai) suka ce: "Mun ji kuma mun yi dã'a; (Muna nẽman) gãfararKa, yã Ubangijinmu, kuma zuwa a gare Ka makõma take[1] "
[1] Aya ta 285 da ta 286 sun ƙunshi aikin Annabi da waɗanda suka bi shi daga aƙida da magana da aiki da kyautatãwa da mayar da al'amari ga Allah, da addu'ar tsari da nema daga Ubangijinsu. Aya ta 286 ita ce mafi kyaun addu'a. Kuma ta nũna Musulmi sun sãɓa wa Yahũdãwa mãsu cewa 'Mun ji, munƙi!'.
Another tells the believers to believe in Allah, His Messenger, the Book sent down to him and the Books sent down before, and says that whoever disbelieves in Allah, His angels, His Books, His messengers and the Last Day has gone far astray.
Yã kũ waɗanda suka yi ĩmãni! Ku yi ĩmãni[1] da Allah da Manzonsa, da Littãfin da Ya sassaukar ga ManzonSa da Littãfin nan wanda Ya saukar daga gabãni. To, wanda ya kãfirta da Allah da malã'ikunSa, da LittattafanSa, da ManzanninSa, da Rãnar Lãhira, to, lalle ne yã ɓace, ɓata mai nĩsa.
[1] ĩmãni da dukan rukunnan ĩmãni shida yana cikin tsaron amãna. Rukunnan ĩmãni su ne, ĩmãni da Allah da ManzanninSa, da malã'iku da LittattafanSa da Rãnar Lãhira da Ƙaddara.
A third puts belief in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Scriptures and the prophets at the head of what righteousness is, before giving wealth, prayer, zakah, keeping pledges and patience.
Bai zama addini[1] ba dõmin kun jũyar da fuskõkinku wajen gabas da yamma, kuma amma addini shi ne ga wanda ya yi ĩmãni da Allah da Rãnar Lãhira da malã'iku da Littattafan sama da Annabãwa, kuma ya bãyar da dũkiya, akan yana son ta, ga mai zumunta da marãyu da matalauta da ɗan hanya da mãsu rõƙo, kuma a cikin fansar wuya, kuma ya tsayar da salla, kuma ya bãyar da zakka, da mãsu cika alkawari idan sun ƙulla alkawarin da mãsu haƙuri a cikin tsanani da cũta da lõkacin yãƙi. Waɗannan su ne suka yi gaskiya. Kuma waɗannan su ne mãsu taƙawa.
[1] Bayãnin cewa Musulunci bã yin salla ɗai ba ne. A'aha! Musulunci tsarewar rãyuwane kamar yadda Allah Ya ce a tsare ta.
The ḥadīth of Jibrīl: the six articles of faith
The six are listed together in the narration called the ḥadīth of Jibrīl. In Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb reports that a man came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him about Islām, īmān and iḥsān. Asked about īmān, the Prophet ﷺ answered that it is to believe in Allah, His angels, His Books, His messengers and the Last Day, and to believe in the decree, its good and its evil. At the end the Prophet ﷺ told ʿUmar that the man was Jibrīl, who had come to teach them their religion. Al-Bukhārī has the same occasion from Abū Hurayrah, with a shorter answer about īmān that names Allah, His angels, the meeting with Him, His messengers and the resurrection.
The library’s First Forty Days path gives the same six in its third week: “Read about the six articles of faith. Allah, the angels, the books, the messengers, the Last Day, and the decree.” The library’s Forty Ḥadīth of an-Nawawī has a card on the ḥadīth of Jibrīl; it is not quoted here, because the library’s own checking has open questions about that title, among them how the card abridges the ḥadīth.
Who the believers are
The Qur’ān also describes the believers by what they are like. At the opening of al-Baqarah they are those who believe in the unseen, establish prayer and spend from what Allah has provided.
Waɗanda suke yin ĩmãni game da gaibi, kuma suna tsayar da salla, kuma daga abin da Muka azurta su suna ciyarwa.
In al-Anfāl, three verses describe the true believers: their hearts are filled with awe when Allah is mentioned, their faith increases when His verses are recited to them, they put their trust only in their Lord, they establish prayer and spend from what He has provided; and they will have high ranks with their Lord, forgiveness and honourable provision.
Abin sani kawai, nũminai sũ ne waɗanda suke idan an ambaci, Allah, zukãtansu su firgita, kuma idan an karanta ãyõyinSa a kansu, su ƙãrã musu wani ĩmãni, kuma ga Ubangijinsu suke dõgara.
Waɗanda suke tsayar da salla, kuma daga abin da Muka azũrtã su sunã ciyarwa.[1]
[1] Watau sunã yin ibãda ta jiki da ta dũkiya wãjiba da nãfila.
Waɗannan sũ ne mũminai da gaskiya. Sunã da darajõji a wurin Ubangijinsu, da wata gãfara da arziki na karimci.
In al-Ḥujurāt, the believers are those who believe in Allah and His Messenger and then do not doubt, but fight with their wealth and their lives in the way of Allah; the verse calls them the truthful.
Mũminan gaskiya kawai, sũ ne waɗanda suka yi ĩmãni da Allah da ManzonSa, sa'an nan ba su yi shakka ba, kuma suka yi jihãdi da dũkiyarsu da kuma rãyukansu, cikin tafarkin Allah. Waɗannan sũ ne mãsu gaskiya.
Belief and submission
The verse just before it draws a line between the two words. The Bedouins say that they have believed, and they are told to say instead that they have submitted, because faith has not yet entered their hearts; if they obey Allah and His Messenger, nothing of the reward of their deeds will be lost. The edition’s note under the verse links this distinction to the ḥadīth of Jibrīl. The page on Islām gathers the verses on submitting.
¡auyãwa suka ce: "Mun yi ĩmãni." Ka ce: "Ba ku yi ĩmãni ba, amma dai ku ce, 'Mun mĩƙawuya, ĩmani bai gama shiga a cikinzukãtanku ba. Kuma idan kun yi ɗã'a ga Allah da Manzon Sa, to, bã zai rage muku kõme daga ayyukanku ba. Lalle Allah Mai gãfara ne, Mai jin ƙai."
Faith that increases
Several verses speak of faith growing. One says that Allah sent down tranquillity into the hearts of the believers so that they might increase in faith along with their faith.
Shĩ ne wanda Ya saukar da natsuwa a cikin zukãtan mũminai dõmin su ƙãra wani ĩmãni tãre da imãninsu, alhãli kuwa rundunõnin sammai da ƙasa, na Allah kawai ne, kuma Allah Ya kasance Masani, Mai hikima.
Another speaks of believers who were told that people had gathered against them, so they should fear them; it only increased them in faith, and they said that Allah was sufficient for them and the best Protector.
Waɗanda mutãne[1] suka ce musu: "Lalle ne, mutãne sun tãra (rundunõni) sabõda ku, don haka ku ji tsõrnsu. Sai (wannan magana) ta ƙara musu ĩmãni, kuma suka ce: "Mai isarmu Allah ne kuma mãdalla da wakili Shĩ."
[1] Yãƙin Badar na Uku, a cikin shekara ta huɗu yake, a watan Sha'aban. Badar kãsuwa ce babba ga ƙabĩlun Lãrabãwa a kõwace shekara. A bãyan Uhdu an yi alkawari da Abu Sufyãna, a kan a haɗu a Badr shekara mai zuwa. Sabõda haka sai Abu Sufyãna ya fita daga Makka har ya sauka Marriz zahrãn, sai Allah Ya sanya masa tsõro a cikin zũciyarsa sai ya gamu da Nu'aima bn Mas'ũd el Ashja'iy, ya ce masa: "Ni nã yi alkawari da Muhammadu a kan mu haɗu a Kãsuwar Badar. Wannan kuwa shekar fari ce. Inã son sãɓãwar alkawarin ta zama daga gare shi, bã daga gare ni ba. Ka tafi Madĩna ka yi ƙõƙarin hana su fitõwa, zan bã ka rãƙuma gõma." Sai Nu'aimu ya tafi Madĩna ya iske Annabi da Sahabbansa suna shirin fita. Sai ya ce musu: "Me kuke nufi?" Suka ce; " Alkawarin Abu Sufyãna." Sai ya ce: "Bã zã ku iya ba, dõmin kuwa sun tãra rundunõni sabõda ku." Sai Annabi ya ce: "Zan fita kõ da nĩ kaɗai ne." Sai Annabi ya fita da mutum dubu da ɗari biyar, suka tafi Badar bãbu Abu Sufyãna. Suka ci kãsuwa suka kõmo.
And one joins faith to guidance: no calamity befalls except by Allah’s permission, and whoever believes in Allah, He guides his heart.
Wata masĩfa bã zã ta sãmu ba fãce da iznin Allah. Kuma wanda ya yi ĩmãni da Allah, Allah zai shiryar da zuciyarsa. Kuma Allah, ga dukan kõme, Masani ne.
