What Is The Minimum Criteria To Be Called As Muslim
Believe in Allah,messangers, angel,books of Allah,destiny and day of judgement is Imaan e Markan.
All these five tenets of Belief are to be confessed internally (‘batin’) by a person, on the outset, whenever someone says they’re a Muslim, it implies that they believe in all these five tenets. Next comes the matter of what if someone has added another tenet into this belief system. If such a tenet is based on interpretation of a person derived from Quran or Hadith ( being a source of Islam to him ), then that belief can be totally repugnant to Islam, but it is still based on wrong interpretaion of the sources of Islam. Therefore, in that case, we will go back to the sources to point out their mistake, but their claim of being a Muslim will still be considered as such.
