Iman

Iman is an Arabic word (عمان) that translates to "faith" or "belief" in English. In the context of Islam, it refers to the six fundamental articles of faith that every Muslim is required to uphold. These articles include belief in one God (Allah), angels, holy books, prophets, the Day of Judgment, and predestination (divine decree). Iman is a central concept in Islamic theology and is often contrasted with Islam, which refers to the outward practice of the religion. The term iman is also used in other contexts to denote trust or confidence, similar to its English counterpart. In Persian, the word is written as ایمان (imân), and in Turkish, it is iman, both carrying the same meaning of faith or belief.
