Aqidah (Arabic: عَقِيدَة, romanized: ʿaqīdah, IPA: [ʕɑˈqiːdæ], pl. عَقَائِد, ʿaqāʾid, [ʕɑˈqɑːʔɪd]) is an Islamic term of Arabic origin that literally means "creed".[1] It is also called Islamic creed or Islamic theology.[2][3]
Aqidah goes beyond concise statements of faith and may not be part of an ordinary Muslim's religious instruction.[4] It has been distinguished from iman in "taking the aspects of Iman and extending it to a detail level" often using "human interpretation or sources".[5] Also, in contrast with iman, the word aqidah is not explicitly mentioned in the Quran.
Many schools of Islamic theology expressing different aqidah exist. However, this term has taken a significant technical usage in the Islamic theology, and is a branch of Islamic studies describing the beliefs of Islam.
