What is Aqeedah?

• Al-Aqeedah linguistically is derived from the
  term aqada. In Arabic, one states,"Aqada the
  rope" when the rope is tied firmly. And, "Aqada
  the sale" or "He settled the sale" when the
  person ratifies and contracts a sale or
  agreement.
• Allah SWT says in the Quran, "And as for those
  whom your right hands have made a covenant (Ar.,
  aqadat)" Al-Nisa 33. And Allah SWT also says,
  "But He will take you to task for the oaths which
  you swear in earnest (Ar., aqadtum) Al-Maida,
  89 which means asserted and adhered to, as
  proven in the verse, "And break not oaths after
  the assertion of them" An-Nahl, 91. If one
  says, "Aqadtu such and such," it means his heart
  is firm upon such and such.

  al-Akbar ("The Greater Understanding") and the
  understanding of the religion
