The answer

The correct creed is the creed of the People of the Sunnah and the Community (Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah), disseminated in the texts of the Qur'an and the Sunnah. The imams have compiled it in works called "creeds" (aqaa'id) to facilitate its study, such as "Al-Aqeedah Al-Tahawiyyah" and "Al-Aqeedah Al-Wasitiyyah." As for Druze and Baha'ism, they are other religions besides Islam.
