b) Explain two reasons why the Six Beliefs are important to Muslims. (4)
One reason why the 6 beliefs are important to Muslims is that Muhammad explained them to the angel Jibril. He was sent by Allah to clarify what Muslims need to know about their faith and practice. This means the 6 beliefs are necessary to all Muslim’s belief. Another reason is that they explain those things a Muslim is required to believe and do. This means that Muslims have the information they need to go to Jannah, such as the obligatory prayers since Muhammad said, ‘If you fail to see Him, then observe prayer’.
