“Faith cannot be separated into parts.” In other words, the truths of faith are a whole, even not to have faith in one of them is enough to make man disbeliever. A believer who believes in Allah (SWT) must believe in the Holy Qur’an too, so that he may be able to know his Sustainer on the right path. Man through his mind is only able to know that there is One Who created him and this universe but is not able to know about His attributes, actions, names, His orders and prohibitions, the realm of eternity, the ways to Paradise, as long as Allah (SWT) does not let him know. Then it is impossible to think Allah (SWT) and the Qur’an apart. One who believes in Qur’an is supposed to believe in the prophethood of Muhammad (PBUH) and Gabriel (PBUH), the angel of revelation as well. This is the greatest step for having the faith in prophets and angels. A person who believes in the Qur’an and prophets also believes in all truths and embraces all aspects of worship that the Qur’an has informed and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has taught.


The group of people who could be free from divine torment by believing in Allah (SWT) are the ones who lived in the Era of Chaos (Specifically this era refers to a period of time between Jesus (PBUH) and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) when no prophet came to the world but in a general sense, this term can be applied to any period when no prophet came), who were unaware of any prophets, who were not announced about revelation, and do not know how to worship. If there are these kinds of people in our age, it might be enough for them to believe in that One created them. We are not obliged to make the people of our age as the ones lived in the Era of Chaos but to tell them about the true faith by looking for them.
