What’re the 6-Arkān of al-Īmān?!!! Good-Question… …Answer: 1. Belief in Allah 2. Belief in al-Malā’ikah (Angels) 3. Belief in al-Kutub (Revelatory-Scriptures/Books) 4.

Romance of the 3-`Aqīdahs
Unlike the Authentic-Definition of the Term “`Aqīdah/Structure” (a Religio-Euphemism for the 6-Arkān/Pillars of al-Īmān [Islāmic-Faith/Beilef]): I’ll be utilizing “`Aqīdah” as a Minhāj (Religio-Identity/Ideology). I’ve chosen to pattern This Article after the Semi-Historical/Fantasy Spin-Off of the “Romance of the 3-Kingdoms”…arguably the Most-Tumultuous Dynastic-Period via Chinese-History. For anyone abreast of Chinese-Imperial/Dynastic History, Ancient-Chinese Literature, Martial-Arts Cinema, Video-Games,… Continue reading
