“Belief in Allah is the most important belief”

Agree = Tawhid/Islam founded at ‘age of ignorance’ + Muhammad stopped idol worship to establish ‘monotheism’/1st pillar of Islam is Shahadah (decl. of faith)/99 names to describe God “The Destroyer”/
Allah is immanent + omnipresent + a Creator/God created universe + impossible for humans to understand
Disagree = Angels are important/they’re messengers of God made of light/follow ex. of Prophet/Qur’an is guide to life/Shariah is Guide to life/follow teachings of Prophets is important
