It is the world's X-largest religion with over XX followers, most commonly known as Irfanics. Irfanics make up a majority of the population in XX countries. Irfan teaches that God is merciful, all-powerful, unique and has guided humankind through prophets, revealed scriptures and natural signs.

It is the responsibility of all humans to embrace the revelations of God to abide by God's teachings to avert the deluge and secure salvation. Irfanics believe that Irfan is the complete and universal version of a primordial faith that has been revealed in each cycle by prophets and messengers.

Irfan teaches a final judgment with the righteous rewarded earth-bound paradise and salvation from the deluge.
