Q 43: Imani kwa Allah Mtukufu inamaanisha nini?
Q 43: What does having faith in Allah Almighty mean?
A--- Maana yake ni kuwa na imani safi na kamili juu ya Kuwepo kwa Allah Mtukufu, ambaye hajatanguliwa wala kufuatwa na yeyote. Ndiye wa Mwanzo wa milele, Mzee wa milele, aliyetangulia kila kitu, lakini bila mwanzo.
A--- It means to have pure and absolute belief in the Existence of Allah the Almighty Who has never been preceded or followed by anyone. The Ever First, the Eternal Old, prior to everything, but without a beginning.
Yeye ni wa Mwisho, Milele, aliyebaki baada ya kuangamia kabisa kila kitu, lakini bila mwisho. Yeye ni Aliye Dhahiri (Al-Dhaahir); hakuna kitu kilicho juu Yake. Yeye ni Aliye Fichika (Al-Baatin), Ambaye hakuna mtu awezaye kumfikiria. Yeye ni Aliye Hai Milele, Msimamizi wa Kujitegemea Mtukufu, Mmoja, Kimbilio la Milele. Hazaai, wala hakuzaliwa, wala hakuna chochote kinachofanana Naye au kinachoweza kulinganishwa Naye.
The Last, the Eternal survivor after the utter destruction of everything, but without an end. He is the Outward' there is nothing above Him. .The Inward (Hidden) Whom no one can conceive. He is the Ever-Living, the Sublime SelfSubsisting, the One, the Everlasting Refuge, He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none equal or comparable unto Him.
Umoja wake Mwenyezi Mungu una sehemu tatu: [Tawhid Al-Uluhiyyah] Umoja wa Ibada ya Allah, [Tawhid Ar-Rububiyyah] Umoja wa Urabi wa Allah, na [Tawhid Al-Asma' was-Sifat] Umoja wa Majina na Sifa za Allah.
His Oneness has three aspects: [Tawhid AI-Uluhiyyah] Oneness of the Worship of Allah, [Tawhid Ar-Rububiyyah] Oneness of the Lordship of Allah, and [Tawhid AI-AsmaJ was-Sifat] Oneness of the Names and Attributes of Allah.
