Jesus Christ (Isa Al Masih)
Isa Al Masih, the Kalimat Allah (Word Of God), was born of the Virgin Mary based on God’s decreed Plan. By decree, God declared that Isa Al Masih would be a Son to Him and He a Father to Him. God strengthened Him with His Ruh (Spirit) and gave Him the Injeel (Gospel). He lived and experienced temptation as a human being, but perfectly exemplified the righteousness and love of God. By His miracles He manifested God’s power and was attested as God’s promised Messiah and Guide of His people. After His death and resurrection, God lifted Him up to Himself in the Heavenly Sanctuary to be our Intercessor. A Sign to mankind, He will return to earth in glory as a Judge on the Day of Resurrection. He will deliver His people and restore all things.

Creation
Allah (God) is the Creator of all things, and has revealed in the Sacred Books the authentic account of His creative activity. The Lord made the heavens and the earth and all living things upon the earth in six days. “Then He established Himself (Istawa) on the throne”, (Al-Aaraf 7:54) and rested on the seventh day of that first week, blessed and sanctified it. He established the Sabbath as a perpetual memorial of His completed creative work. The first man and woman were made in the image of God as the crowning work of Creation, given dominion over the world, and charged with responsibility to care for it. When the world was finished it was “very good,” declaring the glory of God. Genesis 1,2; Exodus 20:8-11; Psalms 19:1-6; 33:6,9; 104; Hebrews 11:3.

The Nature Of Man
Humanity was created from a single being in the image of God. From that being, he created spouses both of whom have their own individuality, power to think and to do. Though created free beings, each is an indivisible unity of body, mind, and spirit, dependent upon God for life and breath and all else. When our first parents disobeyed God, they denied their dependence upon him and fell from their high positions as vicegerents (Khalifa) under God. The image of God in them was marred and they became subject to death. Their descendents share this fallen nature and its consequences. They are born with weaknesses and tendencies to evil. Just like what Adam and Eve had done, they are attempting to cover up there shame and guilt of sin through their own good efforts, but God offers them a free gift of his own righteousness to be received through the faith that He has inscribed in their hearts and strengthens them with His Ruh (Spirit). Created for the glory of God they are called to worship him and love one another, and to have dominion over his creation and care for their environment.

The Great Controversy Between God And Satan
All humanity is now involved in a great controversy between God and Satan regarding God’s character, law and sovereignty over this world. The conflict between good and evil originated in heaven when a created being, endowed with freedom of choice, in self exaltation became Satan, God’s adversary. He led other sinless beings into rebellion against God. Instead of acknowledging Adam and Eve as God’s (Khalifa), Satan prompted them to sin. This resulted in the distortion of the image of God in humanity, the disordering of the created world, and its eventual devastation at the time of the worldwide flood. Observed by the whole creation, this world became the arena of the universal conflict, out of which the God of love will ultimately be vindicated. To assist His people in this controversy, God sends his Spirit (Ruh) and angels to guide, protect, and sustain them in the way of salvation. Revelation 12:4-9; Isaiah 14:12-14; Ezekiel 28:12-18; Romans 1:19-32; 8:19-22,26,27; 2 Peter 3:6; 1 Corinthians 4:9; Hebrews 1:14.
