Belief in God:
Muslims believe in one, incomparable God, He
has no son nor partner, and that one has
the right to be worshipped but Him alone. He
is the true God, and every other god is
false. In the Quran, God describes Himself:
Say, “He is God, the One. God, to Whom the
creatures turn for their needs. He begets not,
nor was He begotten, and there is none like
Him.” (Quran, 112:1- 4)
Belief in the Angels:
Muslims believe in the existence of the angels
and that they are honored creatures. The angels
worship God alone, obey Him, and act only by His
command. Among the angels is Gabriel, who
brought down the Quran to Muhammad.
Belief in God’s Revealed Books:
Muslims believe that God revealed books to His
messengers as proof for mankind and as guidance
for them. Among these books is the Quran, which
God revealed to the Prophet Muhammad . God has
guaranteed the Quran protection from any change.
Belief in the Prophets:
Muslims believe in the prophets and messengers
of God, starting with Adam, including Noah,
Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and Jesus
(peace be upon them). But God’s final message to
man, a repeating of the eternal message, was
revealed to the Prophet Muhammad . Muslims
believe that all the prophets and messengers
were created human beings who had none of the
divine qualities of God.
Belief in the Day of Judgment:
Muslims believe in the Day of Judgment (the Day
of Resurrection) when all people will be
resurrected for God’s judgment according to
their beliefs and deeds.
Belief in Al-Qadar:
Muslims believe in
Al-Qadar, which is Divine Predestination, but
this belief in Divine Predestination does not mean
that human beings do not have freewill. Rather,
Muslims believe that God has given human beings
freewill. This means that they can choose right or
wrong and that they are responsible for their
choices. The belief in Divine Predestination
includes belief in four things:
1) God
knows everything. He knows what has happened and
what will happen.
2) God
has recorded all that has happened and all that will
happen.
3)
Whatever God wills to happen happens, & whatever He
wills not to happen does not happen.
4) God
is the Creator of everything.
The Prayers:
The muslims have to
pray all the five prayers Fajr, Zohar, Asr,
Maghrib and Isha every day. Allah said, "Whoever
doesn't pray the five prayers shall go to hell
fire (Jahannam). So remember always to pray the
five prayers.
