dinance: that the power to do anything proceeds from Allah for all
good purposes, and that we are responsible for our actions.

(Hence, there are good and bad consequences for everything, but
Allah intends [ordains] only good for His Servants.)
In observing the first Article of Faith we must bear witness,
"There is no god except Allah." What better object could we have
to shape our discipline than the Most Supreme of all concepts?
What could be more enlightening than to use our will completely
in the service of Allah? Allah says in His Holy Qur'an, "I have
only created Jinns5’ and people that they may worship [render
complete devotion to] Me [serve Me]."60
The second Article of Faith is belief in all of the Prophets of
Allah. If we study and acknowledge the substance of what the pro-
phets taught, we will see that the truth is universal. When we
understand the messages of the prophets, Muslims, Jews and
Christians will feel akin to one another because we will discover
that the river of truth flows through all three religions.
