Five roots of Usul-ad-Din

Usul-al-Din means the foundation of the faith of Shi’a Islam

The Five Roots are:

%%Tawhid:%%

Belief in the oneness of God

Surah 112 ‘none is like Him’

Creator of all

\
%%Prophethood:%%

Allah sent messages to guide people on the right path

The right path is living a peaceful life submitted to God

Imams protect messages so people don’t forget

\
%%Resurrection:%%

Day of Judgement(Yawm al-Qiyyamah)

Everyone will be judged by Allah

Asked to account words and actions

Events of this day described in Qur’an and Hadith

\
%%Imamate:%%

Leadership

Twelve imams from his tribe would succeed him

First eleven led community but twelfth disappeared after his dad’s death

He is alive and hiding until the day of judgement

\
%%Justice:%%

Good+evil in everything but Allah commands you to do good

Surah 16:90 ‘Indeed Allah commands you towards Justice’

Sometimes justice can be hard to see

Allah also knows your future but can’t change it
