Grade 6 Study Guide for Final Exam

Importance of Iman
  - Belief and righteous actions are commanded. Iman is paramount; righteous actions alone are insufficient without correct aqeedah.
  - Iman is indispensable.
  - Four categories of people regarding faith:
    - Born a Muslim, fortunate to die as a Muslim
    - Born a kafir, died as a disbeliever
    - Born as a Muslim, died as a kafir
    - Born a kafir, fortunate to die as a Muslim
  - Never be negligent about your iman even when raised in a Muslim household.
  - Beliefs cannot be selectively adopted.
  - Declaring others as kafirs/disbelievers is reserved for muftis of Islam.
  - Iman implies a firm stand on faith without compromise or acceptance of negativity towards one’s religion.

Our intellect is insufficient to comprehend the essence (zaat) of Allah.
Only Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) was physically blessed with the vision of Allah while living among people.

Approximately 124,000 prophets and messengers have come to this world.
Belief in every prophet is essential.
Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم):
- Greatest of all messengers and their leader.
- A Rasool is a Prophet granted a new shariah (divine law).
All Ambiya are alive in their graves, granted sustenance, and pray in their graves.
Finality of Prophethood:
- Essential belief that Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) is the last prophet with no Nabi (prophet) to follow him.

Ratio of births: For every 1 child born to humans, there are 9 children born to jinn.

Denial of angels equates to disbelief.
Angels do not eat, drink, or marry.
Morning and Evening Rituals:
- 70,000 angels visit to convey peace (Salam) to the Beloved Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) at his noble grave; this happens continuously until the Day of Judgment.

All occurrences are by the will of Allah.
Creation cannot influence outcomes contrary to Allah’s will; if Allah has decreed something, it will happen irrespective of efforts to prevent it.
Acceptance of Allah’s decree, good or bad, is obligatory.
Denying taqdeer (destiny) is considered kufr (disbelief).
Those denying taqdeer are termed fire-worshippers.
Discussion about taqdeer is discouraged; it can lead to disputes.

No sorrow, grief, or worry exists in paradise; there is no sleep or death in Jannah.
Every paradise inhabitant will be 30 years old.
Types of Jannah:
  - Darul Jalal
  - Darul Karar
  - Darus Salam (for awliya)
  - Jannatul Adan
  - Jannatul Ma’awa
  - Jannatul Khuld
  - Jannatul Firdaus (most exalted; to be sought in dua)
  - Jannatul Naeem
Mocking Islamic beliefs is forbidden.
Endure worldly hardships to merit entry into Jannah; succumbing to base desires may lead to hellfire.
Ultimate destination is Jannah, with actions directed towards achieving this goal.

Every creation acts under Allah's command; without His permission, even a leaf cannot move.
With Allah’s will, creation can assist others, such as prophets and pious believers.
Verses from the Quran support this belief, emphasizing Allah's sovereignty.
Cure is from Allah: Allah’s command enables doctors/medicine to be means of healing.

Essential to Ahl-e-Sunnah thought.
Rewards can be sent to the deceased through deeds like sadaqah (charity), dua, and building masajid (mosques).
Example: Saad bin Ubaydah constructed a well to benefit his deceased mother.
Benefits after death include pious children who pray for you, ongoing charity, and knowledge left behind.
Offering good deeds should incorporate conveying rewards to loved ones, as it does not diminish the doer's rewards.

Items linked to Allah and the Prophet are deserving of respect, e.g., Kaabah, Maqam-e-Ibrahim, Safa and Marwa, Hajar-e-Aswad.
Seek repentance and supplications at sacred sites.

Some may commit sinful acts at shrines, but visiting them is not inherently haram (forbidden).
Sahabas are seen as guiding stars; modern scholars often reference earlier works.
Visiting shrines is historically acknowledged; Prophet visited martyrs of Uhud.
Hajj pilgrims should visit the Beloved Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) in Madinah.
Use pious individuals as intermediaries (wasilah) in supplications.
Non-experts should refrain from issuing fatwas; consult with muftis instead.
Caution is advised in acquiring Islamic knowledge.

Celebrating the life of a saint on their remembrance day is permissible.
Grieving for three days is allowed for anyone; widows for four months and ten days.
Hold gatherings with lectures on the saint’s life, struggles, and teachings to inspire emulation.
Celebrating Urs with good deeds is blessed, as it can foster reciprocal good deeds after death.
Commemorating Urs is permissible and praiseworthy.

When traveling more than 57.5 miles (approximately 92 kilometers), a traveller can shorten Salah (Qasr).
Obligatory for a traveller to perform shortened Salah, reducing the four Rak'ats of Farḍ Salah to two Rak'ats.
Missed Salah as a resident must be offered fully, while missed Salah during travel is forgiveness to be performed in shortened manner afterward, even as a resident.
Funeral Salah:
  - Considered Fard-e-Kifayah; if one performs, the community is relieved of obligation.
  - Congregation is not required; a single person can fulfill the obligation.
  - Denial of its obligation equates to disbelief.

Fard (Obligatory) to perform Hajj for every capable Muslim; only once in a lifetime.

  - Hajj-e-Tamattu': Performing Umrah followed by Hajj in the same season.
