EXPLANATION OF THREE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF ISLĀM

“The first is knowledge” one is obliged to learn and gain insight so that he is upon clarity. He must learn about the religion of Allāh which he was created for. This knowledge is learning about Allāh, His Prophet, and the religion of Islām with proofs.So, that is the first matter that the servant gains insight about who is his Lord?Hence, he learns that his Lord is the Creator who created him, provides his subsistence, and confers His favors upon him. Allāh created those who came before him and those who will come after him. He is the Lord of all that exists. Allāh is the one true deity and object of servitude. No one besides Him deserves to be worshiped. Not a close angel, a messenger who was sent, not a Jinn, no human, no idol or anything else deserves to be worshiped; Rather, true worship is a right that belongs to Him alone. He is the sole object of worship in truth.
