ARTICLES OF FAITH, FIVE OR SIX?
Verse 2:177 names five articles of Faith; Conviction in Allah, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, the Prophets.
But our Mullah adds the belief in Taqdeer or Qadar (translated as Predestiny) as an integral part of Faith making Islam an absolutely fatalistic "religion". The Qur'an nowhere mentions Taqdeer in relation to human beings. It always pertains to Allah's Due Measure, Scale, Law or Design. Humans, given free will, are expected to choose and make their own destiny.
