ومنها ما يتعلق بالاعتقاد
Other religious rulings concern belief.
Iʿtiqād concerns affirming a religious truth. Questions about the existence and oneness of Allah, His attributes of perfection and the reality of prophethood fall within creedal inquiry.
The central question changes from 'How is this act performed?' to 'What is the sound belief about this matter, and how is it established?' Explaining and answering a mistaken view about a creedal question also belongs within this discipline.
