The Wisdom Behind the Arrangement of the Pillars of Eemaan

The Wisdom Behind the Arrangement of the Pillars of Eemaan

Friday, 09 April 2010

By Shaykh Saalih Ibn Fawzaan al-Fawzaan A look into the arrangement of the Pillars of Eemaan and the hikmah, wisdom, that exist within their ordering. Then comes the mention of belief in the Angels and Messengers because they are the mediators between Allaah and His creation regarding the conveyance of His messages. Thus, the Angels descend with the revelation (from Allaah) and bring it to the Messengers and the Messengers convey it to the people.   In the Name of Allaah, the Most Merciful...   Thereis wisdom behind - and Allaah knows best- the arrangement of the pillars of Eemaan in the verses of the Qur’aan and the ahaadeeth,although the waaw (و) doesn't exactly necessitate arrangement: The pillars of Eemaanhave begun with belief in Allaah because it is absolutely the foundation and (all) the other pillars aside from it come in succession to it.
