Articles of Faith in Islam

Faith (Iman) in the Islamic creed (Aqidah) is often represented as the six articles of faith, notably spelled out in the Hadith of Gabriel.

Concept of God

Islam is often seen as having the simplest doctrines of the major religions. Its most fundamental concept is a rigorous monotheism, called tawḥīd (Arabic: توحيد‎‎). God is described in chapter 112 of the Quran as: "Say, He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him" Muslims repudiate polytheism and idolatry, called Shirk, and reject the Christian doctrine of the Trinity and divinity of Jesus. In Islam, Allah is beyond all comprehension and Muslims are not expected to visualize Allah. Allah is described and referred to by certain names or attributes, the most common being Al-Rahmān, meaning "The Compassionate" and Al-Rahīm, meaning "The Merciful" 

Muslims believe that the creation of everything in the universe was brought into being by Allah sheer command, "'Be' and so it is," and that the purpose of existence is to worship Allah. He is viewed as a personal god who responds whenever a person in need or distress calls him. There are no intermediaries, such as clergy, to contact Allah who states, "I am nearer to him than (his) jugular vein."

Allāh is the term with no plural or gender used by Muslims and Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews to reference God, while ʾilāh (Arabic: إله‎‎) is the term used for a deity or a god in general. Other non-Arab Muslims might use different names as much as Allah, for instance "Tanrı" in Turkish, "Khodā" in Persian or Ḵẖudā in Urdu.

Angels (Farishtey)

Belief in angels is fundamental to the faith of Islam. The Arabic word for angel (Arabic: ملك‎‎ malak) means "messenger", like its counterparts in Hebrew (malʾákh) and Greek (angelos). According to the Quran, farishtey  do not possess free will, and therefore worship and obey Allah in total obedience. farishteys ' duties include communicating revelations from Allah, glorifying Allah, recording every person's actions, and taking a person's soul at the time of death. Muslims believe that farishteys are made of light. They are described as "messengers with wings—two, or three, or four (pairs): He [Allah] adds to Creation as He pleases..." Some scholars have emphasized a metaphorical reinterpretation of the concept of farishteys. Pictorial depictions of farishteys are generally avoided in Islamic Art, as the idea of giving form to anything immaterial is not accepted. Muslims therefore do not generally share the perceptions of angelic pictorial depictions, such as those found in Western Art.

Additionally, another kind of being that is sapient in Islam is called Jinn, who are believed to be invisible to humans and include Satan.
