'''Uṣūl al-Dīn''' (Arabic: {{ia|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]] that every [[Muslim]] needs to believe in; otherwise, he would not be considered a Muslim. This means that rejecting even one of these principles implies blasphemy and results in punishment in the [[hereafter]]. Most religious scholars believe that contrary to Furu' al-Din, [[Taqlid]] (emulation) is not permissible in Usul al-Din and everyone needs to think about these principles for himself and accept them with certainty.
'''Uṣūl al-Dīn''' (Arabic: {{ia|أصول الدین}}) or '''principles of religion''' or '''roots of faith''' are a set of essential beliefs in [[Islam]] that every [[Muslim]] needs to believe in; otherwise, he would not be considered a Muslim. [[tawhid]] [oneness of God], [[nubuwwat]] [prophethood of the [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]]], and [[resurrection]] are the three main principles of Islam. All of Islamic sects believe in these three principles; but each one have special principles which separates it from other sects.  


For the [[Shi'a]] ideology, [[Tawhid]] (oneness of God), [[Nubuwwat]] (prophethood), [['Adl]] (justice of God), [[imamate]] and [[resurrection]] are the principles needed to be accepted in order to reach ultimate happiness. However, the two principles of justice and imamate can be considered separate from the other three. If one rejects the oneness of God, prophethood and/or resurrection, then they do not believe in the fundamentals of Islam, but if he rejects justice and imamate, then he is a Muslim but not a Shi'a. Therefore, the two principle of justice and imamate are called Principles of School.
For the [[Shi'a]], [['adl]] [justice of God] and [[imamate]] are the additional principles needed to be accepted. However, the two principles of justice and imamate can be considered separate from the other three.  


Knowing the principles of religion is obligatory; but there is disagreement whether certainty of the principles is required or supposition is enough. Also there is discussion over the sufficiency of believing in the principles of religion out of emulation ([[taqlid]]).


Most religious scholars believe that emulation is not permissible in usul al-din and everyone needs to think about these principles for himself and accept them with certainty.
