Revelation from God has been a constant throughout human history. These two articles of faith, belief in God's books and His messengers, tells us something important about God: that we wants goodness for all of us. Likewise it has important lessons for us on basic human commonality as well as God's acknowledgement of our differences.

This class introduces the first statement of our testimony of faith, that "there is nothing worthy of worship except God." We discuss tawheed, or Islam's standard of "radical monotheism." Our belief in God, unlike other theologies, is one whose truth we can understand and know to be true through practical experience.

The most difficult thing about learning Islam for the first time is knowing where to start. Our religion is a vast ocean of practical legal rulings, acts of worship, and spiritual practices. This class introduces Islam the same way that the Creator introduces it: through the first verses of revelation given to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. We discuss the relationship that God says He desires with humanity, as well as the human heart's central role to that relationship.
