-'''Uṣūl al-Dīn''' (اصول الدین) or '''Principles of Religion''' or '''roots of faith''' contrary to ''[[Furu' al-Din]]'' (Minor Issues of Religion) are a set of essential beliefs in [[Islam]], which every Muslim needs to believe in; otherwise, he would not be considered a Muslim, i.e. rejecting each of these principles implies blasphemy and results in punishment in the [[hereafter]].
+'''Uṣūl al-Dīn''' (أصول الدین) or '''Principles of Religion''' or '''roots of faith''' contrary to ''[[Furu' al-Din]]'' (Minor Issues of Religion) are a set of essential beliefs in [[Islam]], which every Muslim needs to believe in; otherwise, he would not be considered a Muslim, i.e. rejecting each of these principles implies blasphemy and results in punishment in the [[hereafter]].
 From [[Shi'a]] viewpoint, [[Tawhid]] (oneness of God), [[Nabuwwat]] (prophethood), [['Adl]] (justice of God), [[imamate]] and [[resurrection]] are the principles needed to be believed in to reach ultimate happiness. However, the two principles of justice and imamate can be considered separate from the other three, since if one rejects oneness of God, prophethood and resurrection is basically not a Muslim, but if he rejects justice and imamate, then he is a Muslim but not a Shi'a and distances from genuine Islam. Therefore, the two principle of justice and imamate are called Principles of School.
