5.4 Akidar Musulunci
5.4 The Islamic Creed
Akidar Musulunci an gina ta ne bisa ginshiƙai masu ƙarfi na tunani mai ma'ana. Haramun ne ga Musulmi ya yi shakka a cikin imaninsa, kuma an yi Allah wadai da duk wani nau'i na bin makafi a cikin al'amarin akida. Allah (SWT) ya ce:
The Islamic creed is built upon the solid foundations of rational thought. The Muslim is forbidden from having any doubt in his or her belief, and any type of blind following in the matter of ‘aqeedah is condemned. Allah (swt) says,.
"Kuma idan aka ce musu: ‘Ku bi abin da Allah ya saukar,’ sai su ce: ‘A’a, muna bin abin da muka sami iyayenmu a kansa.’ Shin ko da iyayensu ba su da hankali ko kaɗan, kuma ba su da shiriya fa?" [TMQ 2:170].
“And when it is said to them : ‘Follow that which Allah has revealed,’ they say : ‘We follow that wherein we found our fathers.’ What! Even though their fathers were wholly unintelligent and devoid of guidance!” [TMQ 2:170].
Akidar Musulunci tana dogara ne a kan hankali. Ta haka, tana tabbatar da gaskiyar yanayin wanzuwarmu maimakon neman musantawa kamar yadda kafirai suke yi. Allah (SWT) yana cewa,.
The Islamic ‘aqeedah is based upon the mind. By this, it confirms the true nature of our existence rather than seeking to deny it like the kuffar. Allah (swt) says,.
Lalle ne, a cikin halittar sammai da ƙasa, da sauyawar dare da rana, da jiragen ruwa da ke tafiya a teku da abin da ke amfanar mutane, da ruwan da Allah ke saukarwa daga sama, wanda da shi yake rayar da ƙasa bayan mutuwarta, kuma yake watsa dabbobi iri-iri a cikinta, da kuma a cikin tsarin iska da gizagizai masu biyayya da aka hore tsakanin sama da ƙasa, akwai alamu ga mutane masu hankali.” [TMQ 2:164].
“Lo in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the difference of night and day and the ships which run upon the sea with that which is of use to men, and the water which Allah sends down from the sky thereby reviving the earth after its death and dispersing all kinds of beasts therein, and in the ordinance of the winds and the clouds obedient between heaven and earth, these are signs for people who have sense.” [TMQ 2:164].
Yana da wuya a yarda da hankali cewa wani abu mai bambancin halitta, kyau da tsari cikakke kamar duniya ya samu asali daga babu komai ta hanyar 'dama', ko kuma cewa ta tsara kanta da kanta.

Wannan duka yana nuna tsari da iko, ba sa'a ko dama ba. Saboda haka, yana da ma'ana ta hankali kuma babu shakka a yi imani da cewa akwai Mahaliccin Madaukaki kuma Mai Tsara, Allah (SWT). Shi ne Mahalicci Allah (SWT), wanda ya halicci kuma ya tsara dukkan abubuwa.
It defies rationality to conceive that something as diverse, beautiful and perfectly ordered as the universe came from nothing by ‘chance’, or that somehow it organised itself. Any object in life, for example a computer, has to be designed and manufactured to ensure it functions. Anyone possessing of a rational mind can see that it cannot do this itself. The reality of life around us suggests that there is a perfect harmony and order in the universe - for example, night follows day, the sun rises in the East and sets in the West, the seasons follow in sequence etc. This all implies order and control, not luck or chance. Thus it makes rational and irrefutable sense to believe that there is a Supreme Creator and Organiser, Allah (swt). It is the Creator Allah (swt), who made and ordered all things.
Saboda haka, mun fahimci cewa muna da alhakin yin lissafi ga wannan Mahalicci, kuma mun yarda cewa shi ne wanda ya sanar da mu hanyar shiriya bayyananniya game da yadda ya kamata mu rayu, mu kaɗai da kuma tare da al'umma.
Accordingly, we understand that we are accountable to this Creator, and acknowledge that he is the one who informed us of the clear path of guidance to how we should live our lives, individually and collectively.
