There are six basic Islamic beliefs (Islam Beliefs and Practices) that are defined as the pillars of Islamic faith. The major beliefs includes having faith in Allah and His oneness, faith in His angels, faith in His Prophets and Messengers, having belief in His revealed Books, faith on the day of resurrection and finally faith in His settled and defined fate for us.

A Muslim cannot be considered as a Muslim who do not have faith on these major Islamic beliefs, as they’re clear in their meanings and  proved by definite source. So denying such a clear concepts of Islam leads a person to be excluded from Islam, and the status of being called as Muslim is terminated.

So one cannot be called as Muslim if he/she does not have firm belief on the Existence of Allah, Prophets and Messengers A.S of Allah including the belief that Prophet Muhammad SAWW is final and last Prophet and Messenger of Allah.

Similarly, one is not considered as Muslim if he denies that Quran is a final book revealed on earth by Allah SWT on Prophet Muhammad SAWW and don’t have emaan on the Books revealed before it (Quran). If one who rejects the existence of Angels who are bound to follow different duties that Allah SWT allocated them, then as a result he will be terminated from the status of being called as Muslim.

In addition to above if one doesn't have faith that he would be rise up again after death (will be considered as excluded from Islam), and in his second life, he’ll be answerable and accountable of what he has done in this world. Yes, the Judgment day or the Day of Resurrection held after this life.

Finally, major Islamic belief also consider the Divine Fate to be included in articles of faith which implies that anything happens in anyone’s life, whether good or bad, it is from Allah SWT and one must be patient in all the problems and torments he faces in life, while keeping in mind that the event and its results are from Allah and we are just accountable for our best input.
