Muslims are the followers of Allah. They believe in Islam, so they worship Allah and admit that Muhammad (SAW) is the last prophet of Allah. Because the religion of faith is Islam, and it is one of the fastest-growing religions in the world. Over time, the number of believers in this religion has grown exponentially.
The religion of Islam teaches the importance of both belief and action. Insufficient without each other. Every Muslim should have a strong belief in the basic principles of Islam. Without these basic principles, the Muslim faith is compromised. Islam is a monotheistic faith centered on one God. Islam is an Arabic word meaning “obedience, determination, and security.” Thus, Islam can be praised for achieving complete peace by volunteering according to voluntary consent.
The foundation of any Muslim begins with a firm belief in the Oneness of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala. Allah is the only Almighty, Creator, and Sustainer of every living thing in this universe. He has no father, and he is no one’s father. No one has created him. His creatures depend on Him for all their needs.
Muslims have six basic beliefs, as stated in the Qur’an and Hadith
Belief in the Oneness of God
Muslims believe that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala is the Creator of all things and that Allah is Almighty and All-Knowing. God has no children, no race, no sex, nobody, and no influence on human life characteristics.
Belief in angels
Muslims believe in angels, unseen creatures who worship Allah and follow His commands in the universe.
Belief in the books of Allah (SWT)
Muslims believe that Allah revealed books to many of His messengers. These include the Qur’an, Torah, Gospel, Psalms, and books. Muslims believe that these original scriptures were revealed as God in their original form, but the Qur’an remains as it was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
Belief in Allah’s Prophets or Messengers
Muslims believe that God’s guidance is revealed to humanity through messengers, or prophets, beginning with the first man in history, Adam, who is considered the first prophet. Twenty-five of these prophets is mentioned in the Qur’an, including Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Muslims believe that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the last prophet of God sent with Islam’s message to all humanity.
Belief in Resurrection
Muslims believe that human beings will be judged for their deeds in this life on the Day of Judgment. Those who follow the guidance of Allah will be rewarded with Paradise. Those who deny His advice will be punished in Hell.
Belief in God’s command
Allah Almighty has predestined this universe and everything beyond it. From the very first breath to the last breath we take, all designed by our Creator. Whatever decisions we make, our livelihood, our intelligence, the length of being in this world has already been decided by Allah Almighty.
