1. What is Tawheed in Islam?

   Tawheed is the belief in the absolute Oneness and Uniqueness of Allah — that He alone is the Creator, Sustainer, and worthy of worship, with no partners, equals, or associates.

2. What are the three categories (types) of Tawheed?

   1) Tawheed al-Ruboobiyyah (Oneness of Lordship), 2) Tawheed al-Uloohiyyah (Oneness of Worship), 3) Tawheed al-Asma wa al-Sifaat (Oneness of Allah's Names and Attributes).

3. What is the opposite of Tawheed, and why is it the gravest sin in Islam?

   Shirk — associating partners with Allah. It is the gravest sin because the Quran states Allah may forgive all sins except dying upon shirk (Surah An-Nisa 4:48).

4. Which Surah of the Quran is considered the essence of Tawheed?

   Surah Al-Ikhlas (Chapter 112), which declares Allah as One (Ahad), Eternal/Self-Sufficient (As-Samad), neither begetting nor begotten.

   Risalat is the belief that Allah sent prophets and messengers to guide humanity, conveying His revelation and inviting people to worship Him alone and follow His commands.

8. What is the difference between a Nabi and a Rasul?

   A Nabi (prophet) receives revelation to follow and convey, while a Rasul (messenger) is given a new code of law (Shariah) or scripture. Every Rasul is a Nabi, but not every Nabi is a Rasul.

9. What is Akhirah in Islam?

   Akhirah is the belief in the Hereafter — life after death, including resurrection (Qiyamah), accountability for one's deeds, and eternal reward in Paradise (Jannah) or punishment in Hell (Jahannam).

10. What is the name of the Day of Judgement in Islam, and what happens on it?

    Yawm al-Qiyamah (Day of Resurrection). All people are resurrected, their deeds are weighed in the scale (Mizan), and they are judged and sent to Jannah or Jahannam.

11. What is 'Barzakh' in Islamic belief regarding the Hereafter?

    Barzakh is the intermediate state/barrier between death and resurrection — the period in the grave where the soul awaits the Day of Judgement.

17. When was Salah made obligatory upon Muslims?

    Salah was made obligatory during the event of Mi'raj (the Prophet's PBUH ascension to the heavens), about a year before the Hijrah.

18. What is Sawm (fasting) and during which month is it obligatory?

    Sawm is abstaining from food, drink, and marital relations from dawn (Subh Sadiq) to sunset (Maghrib) with intention. It is obligatory during the month of Ramadan.
