The Importance of Believing in the Unseen

Believing in the unseen is a key aspect of Islam. It refers to everything that is unseen but commanded to be believed in. The story of Prophet Ibrahim's request to see the dead being brought back to life highlights the desire for a stronger level of faith and certainty. The unseen encompasses knowledge known only to Allah, such as angels, the afterlife, and predestination. Trusting in Allah and His Messenger involves acting in accordance with the unseen, even if it is not fully comprehended.
