26
What is the importance of the six articles of faith?
Knowing that there is only one God, Sunni Muslims believe that people should live following his rules. The holy books help with this as they give guidance on how Muslims can live their lives on the right path. The prophets are sent by God to teach humans how to live as Allah wished and to teach how to obey his laws. A lot of Sunni Muslims believe that the angels record the deeds of humans on Earth, which encourages Muslims to do good if they want to have a place in Paradise. The belief in the Day of Judgement means believing that this life is a test and Allah determines everything, even human free will . However, humans are still responsible and held accountable for their actions.
