Aqidah
linguistically is derived from the term aqada. In Arabic, one
states, "Aqada the rope" when the rope is tied firmly.
And, "Aqada the sale" or "He settled the sale"
when the person ratifies and contracts a sale or agreement. And
Allah says in the Quran, "And as for those whom your right
hands have made a covenant (Ar., aqadat)" [Al-Nisa 33]. And
Allah also says, "But He will take you to task for the oaths
which you swear in earnest (Ar., aqadtum) [Al-Maida, 89] which
means asserted and adhered to, as proven in the verse, "And
break not oaths after the assertion of them" [An-Nahl, 91].
If one says, "Aqadtu such and such," it means his heart
is firm upon such and such.
Therefore, Aqidah or I'tiqad
according to the scholars of Islam is: The firm creed that one's
heart is fixed upon without any wavering or doubt. It excludes any
supposition, doubt or suspicion.
