“Three matters lie at the very root of Islam:

1. to refrain from [pronouncing judgment upon] anyone who says, ‘There is no god but Allah’—he is not declared an unbeliever because of any sin, nor do we expel him from Islam on account of any deed;
2. faith will continue ⦗1301⦘—that is, it will persist until the last member of my community fights al-Dajjāl (the Antichrist);
3. and to believe in every aspect of the divine decree.”
