Answer :
Praise be to Allaah.
We sent this question to our Shaykh ‘Abd al-Rahmaan al-Barraak, who replied as follows:
Praise be to Allaah.
Among the basic principles of faith are Belief in all the Books that have been revealed from Allaah, and belief in all the Messengers. These two principles include belief in the noblest of Books, which is the Qur’aan, and the best of the Messengers, namely Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), the Seal of the Messengers and the Messenger of Allaah to all of mankind from the time when Allaah sent him until the time when the Hour will begin.
Every person from every nation must believe in him and follow him and rule by his sharee’ah (laws).
