Basic Aqeedah

Basic Aqeedah – The Foundation of a Muslim's Belief System |

Understanding the Basic Aqeedah is not just an academic topic—it is essential for every Muslim. Without a firm grasp of Aqeedah (creed), a person’s beliefs may be at risk of misguidance or innovation. At The Quran Education, our goal is to help Muslims in the United States and beyond understand the importance of Aqeedah in Islam in a structured, simplified, and authentic manner.

What is Basic Aqeedah?

Aqeedah refers to what a Muslim holds firmly in their heart. It defines the core Islamic beliefs—from the Oneness of Allah (Tawheed) to the Day of Judgment. A strong Aqeedah empowers Muslims to stay grounded, resist confusion, and connect sincerely to worship and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

In this course, you’ll learn the six basic Aqeeda (pillars of faith) that every Muslim must believe in. These beliefs form the foundation of Islam and guide every aspect of life, worship, and community.

Learn from qualified Islamic scholars with years of teaching experience.
Study authentic materials with references from classical sources.
Access content tailored for learners in the USA and beyond.

Why is Aqeedah Important?

A correct understanding of Aqeedah ensures a Muslim’s belief is rooted in the Qur’an and Sunnah. It protects from shirk (associating others with Allah) and helps a Muslim align with the right practices.
Recent studies by Pew Research indicate that over 60% of young Muslims in Western societies struggle with foundational Islamic beliefs. This points to a growing need for accessible education on the six basic Aqeeda.
When you know your Aqeedah, you understand:
Who Allah is and His attributes.
The role of angels and their duties.
The necessity of believing in all divine books and prophets.
The importance of the Day of Judgment and the concept of Divine Decree (Qadar).
These beliefs are central to every Muslim’s life and faith, regardless of their background or nationality.
