相信天命（前定）的信仰分为四个层次：

A--- Affirming faith in the Divine Decree is of four ranks:

第一等级：确信真主的知识涵盖一切。

First rank: Affirming faith in Allah's Knowledge that covers everything.

天地之间，哪怕一个原子的重量（或一只小蚂蚁），或比这更小或更大的事物，都逃不过祂的知识。祂在创造众生之前，就已全然知晓他们：他们的给养、定期、言语、行为、举动、隐秘与公开的密谈；其中的火狱居民，以及乐园居民。

Not even the weight of an atom (or a small ant) or less than that or greater in the heavens or the earth escapes His Knowledge. He knew all about His creatures before creating them: their sustenance, appointed terms, sayings, deeds, moves, secrets and public conferences, the residents of Hell from among them and also the residents of Paradise.

第二层次：确信前定，包括以上这些以及其他内容

Second rank: Affirming faith in the Prerecording of all these (and others)
