Basic Beliefs
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
Hiscommand. Among the angels is Gabriel, who brought down the Quran
toMuhammad.
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 guaranteedthe
Quran's 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, and 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, Dhuhur, 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.
