The concept of faith: Faith in the source language is the contract; which tensile force and tighten the link, everything is insignificant so-called faith, the covenants and conventions are called contract; also the marriage operations called contracts, added the sales operations so-called contracts. The things that are between God and Man from envisioned and believe are called faith.
Terminological concept of faith:
Faith in the firm as what it is said a general point, which is beyond all doubt to belief.
The Islamic faith:
They believe the firm pillars of faith and the fundamentals of Islam and its basic elements and all that proved God and His Messenger Mohammad- peace be upon him - is the heart and scientific and anecdotal, as well as platforms for life, even including by dealing with others, and this is an important point; Because many of those having faith is neglected or perhaps amazed that belief is the result of the apparent deal.
Sources of Islamic faith:
The sources of faith are Al Kitab and Sunna, and there are no other sources, but some scientists define the third source which is a consensus. It is not an independent source, but rather on the outcome of the understanding of texts, sometimes builds based on the consensus text, or a set of texts. And sometimes builds based on the unanimity rule or rules taken from the texts, often sometimes build based on the consensus on the right understanding by the firm in science texts, because in this consensus may be considered a third source, fellow source and not mushaha in term.
The characteristics of the Islamic faith: 1 - Divine:
The source of God, and that it did not change did not change and this self-assured it is the best for ourselves, and that happiness lies in the implementation, and the consequent misery left:
A. Goodness, blessings, happiness and abundance of production all of it blessings of the implementation of Islamic law based on this belief:
{وَلَو' أَنَّ أَه'لَ ال'قُرَى آمَنُوا وَاتَّقَو'ا لَفَتَح'نَا عَلَي'هِم' بَرَكَاتٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَال'أَر'ضِ وَلَكِن' كَذَّبُوا فَأَخَذ'نَاهُم' بِمَا كَانُوا يَك'سِبُونَ} (96) سورة الأعراف. وقال تعالى: {وَلَو' أَنَّهُم' أَقَامُوا التَّو'رَاةَ وَال'إِن'جِيلَ وَمَا أُن'زِلَ إِلَي'هِم' مِن' رَبِّهِم' لَأَكَلُوا مِن' فَو'قِهِم' وَمِن' تَح'تِ أَر'جُلِهِم' مِن'هُم' أُمَّةٌ مُق'تَصِدَةٌ وَكَثِيرٌ مِن'هُم' سَاءَ مَا يَع'مَلُونَ} (66) سورة المائدة.
B. As long as the divine God Almighty is free of deficiencies, safe from the defect, far from inequality and injustice, because God is ideal in the heavens and the earth {أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ ال'قُر'آنَ} .. (82) سورة النساء.
C. As long as they divine, which satisfy the instinct of worship not only filled the Platform for God, not filled in the philosophical systems, also not in the Sultan of politics, and not financial wealth.
D. As long as divine, people are equaled whether it is preferred to an Arab to Ajami, unless with piety. God is the Creator of all the people they are all slaves for him, not preferred color on color.
قال تعالى: {مَن' عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِن' ذَكَرٍ أَو' أُن'ثَى وَهُوَ مُؤ'مِنٌ فَلَنُح'يِيَنَّهُ حَيَاةً طَيِّبَةً وَلَنَج'زِيَنَّهُم' أَج'رَهُم' بِأَح'سَنِ مَا كَانُوا يَع'مَلُونَ} (97) سورة النحل.
Therefore, it is the only ideology which does justice to the people and amends them, and people standing on an equal footing both their own Governor and sentenced.
{وَتَمَّت' كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ صِد'قًا وَعَد'لًا لَا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَاتِهِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ ال'عَلِيمُ} (115) سورة الأنعام.
2. Second characteristic that it is steadiness:
قال تعالى: {فَأَقِم' وَج'هَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفًا فِط'رَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَي'هَا لَا تَب'دِيلَ لِخَل'قِ اللَّهِ ذَلِكَ الدِّينُ ال'قَيِّمُ وَلَكِنَّ أَك'ثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَع'لَمُونَ} (30)سورة الروم.
The firm belief that it results from the status of God, al wahay has been stopped when Mohammad (PBUH) Comrade to the highest partner from the heaven, and texts remained fixed to the Day of Judgment does not copied by a copier or changed by kafer. Man is moving on, evolving and growing, but within the framework of expanding the firm belief of the Movement of Rights and growth, and if the rights of the framework established by the swimming like a star that escape from its orbit and go to the end leading to the collision with another planet, and it breaks and break with him the other. Something must be fixed because people can return to it, so they assured and rest and having the scale to know the length of things, supply and weight, while those who say that everything in life is developed, even a sophisticated religion, morality and systems, which leads to a big mess, we do not rule anything.
3. Third characteristic of faith is the Divine:
Islamic Faith depend on the book of Allah and His Messenger true Sunna, are not subject to the effort; because the sources are definite. Where the true faith should have the right certainty and it must be valid sources, which does not exist only in the book of Allah and His Messenger true Sunna. Therefore, all sources presumption like measurement and human brain cannot be sources of faith, so if someone makes them a source of faith, thus he is avoiding the correction, and make faith a matter of effort, which results in mistake and right.
4. Fourth characteristic of faith is coverage: Coverage for all the needs of the individual, in his heart and passion and feelings and emotions and fervently in the requirements of individual life, family, social and global, it is inclusive of all needs, or brings happiness to the people in this world and hereafter.
5. Fifth characteristic of faith is saved:
It saved the conservation of religion, all are saved by different parts and not just its rules and its assets. It is a treasure, clear not vagueness يقول النبي -صلى الله عليه وسلم-: (تركتم على البيضاء، ليلها كنهارها لا يزيغ عنها إلا هالك)
The destruction of people is what made them fail into the search for some of the issues or solving problems of religion, not because religion is lost anything, the religion is saved to the Day of Judgment.
6. Sixth characteristic of faith is clarity:
Islamic faith is clear and unambiguous and complexity, it summarizing that those creatures are entitled to worship God, who created the magnificent universe as the coordinator and everything is appreciated, and God has no partner, not like in the not born, no brother and no son. So this clarity fit the brain, sense the brain requiring unity and relations in differentiating and volume also needs to refer different things to one reason.
Just as the Islamic faith is clear and it is not asking for the blind followers, but on the contrary, it calls for prudence and foresight.
قال تعالى: {قُل' هَذِهِ سَبِيلِي أَد'عُو إِلَى اللّهِ عَلَى بَصِيرَةٍ أَنَا' وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَنِي وَسُب'حَانَ اللّهِ وَمَا أَنَا' مِنَ ال'مُش'رِكِينَ} (108) سورة يوسف.
And that the belief that man's mind-boggling which do not reach only recognized by the wise. Many philosophers, people speak of Muslims returned from their own curriculum abstract mental approach to the book of Allah and his Messenger Sunna for example, Al Fakhar Al-Razi - top Muslim philosophers.
7. Seventh characteristic of faith is innate:
The Islamic faith is not alien to the common sense not to contradict it. It is the consensus full and completion harmony with it. This is not surprising as the creator of human that knows about his life that initiated religion what is suits to his nature that created. كما قال تعالى: ( فطرة الله التي فطر الناس عليه لا تبديل لخلق الله ذلك الدين القيم ) وقوله ( ألا يعلم من خلق وهو اللطيف الخبير )
And the fact witness to the approval of the instinct of the Muslim faith-based devotion to God alone, whatever hurt the human badly and the physical powers unable to fix and he always rely to God with weakness and lowness, where Muslims and non Muslims become equal, even though the baby if we left him without Affects from the parents or the environment around him, thus he will grew up believing in God.
لذلك قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: ( كل مولود يولد على الفطرة فأبواه يهودانه أو يمجسانه أو ينصرانه).
8. Eight characteristic in faith is balanced:
Islamic faith compromise between those who deny all the nature, which did not reach the senses and those who prove to the world more than God and those who take the spirit of God in the kings and rulers, but in some animals, plants and things?
The Islamic faith denied the ignorant and multi dopey involvement proved to the world that are not one partner, as it is a comprise in quality due to
فقال تعالى: ) ليس كمثله شيء وهو السميع البصير) و قوله (لم يكن له كفوا أحد)
However, what positive qualities effective that send fear in the hearts of subjects
فقال تعالى: )الله لا اله إلا هو الحي القيوم لا تأخذه سنة ولا نوم له ما في السماوات و ما في الأرض من ذا الذي يشفع عنده إلا بإذنه يعلم ما بين أيدهم وما خلفهم ولا يحيطون بشيء من علمه إلا بما شاء وسع كرسيه السماوات والأرض ولا يؤده حفظهما وهو العلي العظيم(
Then she recognized a compromise between naive and mimicry in faith and fanaticism and penetrated the mind to understand everything, even divinity is terminated for mimicry, where the saliva of those who say that God
فقال تعالى: {إِنَّا وَجَد'نَا آبَاءنَا عَلَى أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَى آثَارِهِم مُّق'تَدُونَ} (23) سورة الزخرف.
, and prohibit the incursion reason to understand how the qualities of God and said: فقال تعالى: {وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِهِ عِل'مًا} (110) سورة طـه.
وقال: {وَلاَ تَق'فُ مَا لَي'سَ لَكَ بِهِ عِل'مٌ} (36) سورة الإسراء.
, and invites them to mediate and the introduction of awareness
قال تعالى: {وَفِي ال'أَر'ضِ آيَاتٌ لِّل'مُوقِنِينَ*وَفِي أَنفُسِكُم' أَفَلَا تُب'صِرُونَ} (20-21) سورة الذاريات. Sources:

Faith is the concept of having complete trust or confidence in someone or something. Faith is a very powerful concept of the mind. It can influence a person to act in ways never thought possible. One’s beliefs may be so important to them that they may even be the center of that person’s life. Take Elie Wiesel, for example. He was a very religious person during his lifetime, let alone his youth. He would talk about his desire as a young boy to go and study Kabbalah whenever the opportunity presented itself. He loved the religion, and his faithfulness for it was one of the reasons why he was strong enough to make it out of the Holocaust alive.…

Sunni, Shiite, and Sufi are three branches of Islam. The Shiite and Sunni’s were the first really major division of the Islamic religion. This division was the result of a political argument over who should precede Muhammed. Sunni’s name means tradition and they believed the legitimacy of the Orthodox caliphates, and based everything off those beliefs. Sunni’s believe that Muhammad did not designate a successor. Now Shiite’s get their name from the word Shia, which means faction. They believe that Muhammad did leave a successor and it was the son-in-law and cousin of Muhammad named, Ali. They do not believe the same thing as Sunnis and disagree and do not get along with them. Now Sufi’s are” a contemplative school of Islam that aims to develop an individual 's consciousness of God though chanting, recitation of litanies, music and physical movement (SCRUGGS, 2010, para. )” Sufis find the importance by approaching the inner meaning of god through mysticism. They want to find the hidden meanings of the world they do not read or follow the Qur’an as strictly and as a result have closer relationships to other religions (SCRUGGS,…

To have faith is to have and show complete trust of confidence with firm beliefs, even without logical proof. When people have a religious belief of spiritual apprehension of divine truth apart from proof; they have faith.

Islam is an ill-perceived religion throughout most of the Western world. Once known as a quiet and peaceful religion, the general perception of people from other religions and most of the world upon Islam is quite distorted. Ever since the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, an influx of discrimination and prejudice towards Islam and Muslims has spread throughout the world. In “Understanding Islam,” by Kenneth Jost, an article about several accounts of how Muslims are mistreated and stereotyped throughout the world, brings up a recent poll within the United States says that 45 percent of those surveyed has an unfavorable view of Islam. The article also states that a CBS poll in April 2006 found that 46 percent of those surveyed believe Islam encourages violence more than other religions. Westerners must recognize the need to combat the backlash of stereotypes and negativity towards Islam within the 21st century. In order to do so, we must first truly understand Islam by comprehending this unique faith and culture.…

Faith is the belief in the intangible, something that doesn’t appeal to the five senses, such as love, hope, karma, God, or some other higher power. It is a form of spiritual knowing which can’t be expressed in words, but expressed through experience. Not all faith is the same because every human being is different. While some people don’t believe in faith because they think that it is affiliated with a religion or a higher power, I believe that everyone possesses some sort of faith, even if it is not religiously based, because in order to survive reality, we need faith.
