Iman
Understanding the Iman in Islam
Faith, or Iman, forms the core of a Muslim’s belief and practice. In the Arabic language, the term “iman” derives from the root word “آمَنَ” (amana), which means “to believe” or “to affirm the truth.”Belief consists of affirmation by the tongue and acceptance by the heart. The essence of Īmān (Belief or Faith) is acceptance by the heart of the existence of Allah and the truth of everything that the Prophet ﷺ brought.
However, since this is an internal action, hidden from others, affirmation by the tongue is used as a sign for this acceptance and forms the basis for the application of worldly laws.
A believer is required to accept everything that is proven from the Prophet ﷺ even though all the details are not spelt out or known to him (example, to belief generally in the angels, prophets (عليه السلام) etc.
