Faith
To become a muslim, one should believe in God, Angels, His Holy Books, His messengers
and Prophets, day of Judgement and life after death. The Iman-i-Muffasil states: “ I believe
in Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and in the
Taqdir, that all good and bad is from Allah the Most High and I believe in the
resurrection after death.”
The Belief in The Oneness of Allah is known as Tawhid (meaning "oneness" in

Arabic), is the central tenet of Islam. It goes beyond simply believing in one God; it's
a multifaceted concept that shapes a Muslim's entire worldview. One person should
acknowledge Allah’s attributes. Here are some examples:
● Omnipotent
● Immortal
● Most Powerful
● Most Merciful
● Most Gracious
Tawhid has various implications for Muslims. It fosters a sense of dependence on

Allah and frees them from worshipping created things. It also promotes equality
among people, as everyone stands equal before the one God.
Belief in His angles means that one should know that God has created angels for
specific tasks.These angels don't have freedom and they can’t rebel. Here are the
angel’s names and their tasks:
1. Jibril
The Angel Jibril (also known as Gabriel), is known for delivering revelation.
This Angel brought revelation to several Prophets, including: 'Isaa (Jesus),
Musa, Dawud and Muhammad.
2. Mikail
Angel Mikail is said to be responsible for directing rain and wind. The
evidence for this is rather sparse
3. Israfil
The trumpet holder and blower is Angel Israfil. He will blow the trumpet
twice, on which the Day of Judgment will begin.
4. Malik Al-Mawt
The Angel responsible for taking the soul. He is known as Malikul Mawt.
Also known as the Angel of death.
5. Harut and Marut

The two angels, Harut and Marut, are known as the teachers of magic.
They were sent to humanity as a test. The two Angels warned the people
not to learn magic from them, but they refused.
They taught others magic which was sent down at Babel

to the two Angels Harut and Marut. Neither (Angels) taught, without them
saying: "We are but a trial (from Allah to man), so do not disbelieve."
[2:102 Quran]
6. Maalik
Hell has several Angels guarding it. The head of those gatekeepers is
Angel Maalik.
7. Munkar and Nakir

The two Angels Munkar and Nakir are responsible for the interrogation in
the tomb. They will ask the people about three things: Who is your Lord?
What is your religion and who is your Prophet?
Belief in His Holy Books means that one should believe what books Allah
wrote. Here are some examples:
The Tawrat
This is the revelation sent down by Almighty Allah to Prophet Musa (AS).
The Zabur
The Zabur is the book of Allah that was revealed to Prophet Dawud (AS).
The Injeel
The Injeel is the holy book of Allah Almighty that revealed to Prophet Eesa (Jesus, AS).
The Holy Quran

The Holy Quran is the fourth and last sacred book of Allah Almighty. It was revealed on the last
Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
Belief in the Prophets or Messengers of God: Muslims believe that God’s

guidance has been revealed to humankind through specially appointed
messengers, or prophets, throughout history, beginning with the first man, Adam,
who is considered the first prophet. Twenty-five of these prophets are mentioned
by name in the Quran, including Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Muslims
believe that Muhammad is the last in this line of prophets, sent for all humankind
with the message of Islam.
Belief in the Day of Judgment: Muslims believe that on the Day of Judgment,
humans will be judged for their actions in this life; those who followed God’s
guidance will be rewarded with paradise; those who rejected God’s guidance will
be punished with hell.
Belief in the Divine Decree: This article of faith addresses the question of God’s
will. It can be expressed as the belief that everything is governed by divine
decree, namely that whatever happens in one’s life is preordained, and that
believers should respond to the good or bad that befalls them with thankfulness
or patience. This concept does not negate the concept of “free will;” since
humans do not have prior knowledge of God’s decree, they do have freedom of
choice.
A Muslim is obliged to fulfil the pillars of Islam in his life. The pillars of Islam
includes the following:
1. Profession of Faith (shahada). The belief that "There is no god but God, and
Muhammad is the Messenger of God" is central to Islam. This phrase, written
in Arabic, is often prominently featured in architecture and a range of objects,
including the Qur'an, Islam's holy book of divine revelations. One becomes a
Muslim by reciting this phrase with conviction.
2. Prayer (salat). Muslims pray facing Mecca five times a day: at dawn, noon,
mid-afternoon, sunset, and after dark. Prayer includes a recitation of the
opening chapter (sura) of the Qur'an, and is sometimes performed on a small
rug or mat used expressly for this purpose (see image 24). Muslims can pray
individually at any location (fig. 1) or together in a mosque, where a leader in
prayer (imam) guides the congregation. Men gather in the mosque for the
noonday prayer on Friday; women are welcome but not obliged to participate.
After the prayer, a sermon focuses on a passage from the Qur'an, followed by
prayers by the imam and a discussion of a particular religious topic.
3. Alms (zakat). In accordance with Islamic law, Muslims donate a fixed portion
of their income to community members in need. Many rulers and wealthy
Muslims build mosques, drinking fountains, hospitals, schools, and
other institutions both as a religious duty and to secure the
blessings associated with charity.
4. Fasting (sawm). During the daylight hours of Ramadan, the
ninth month of the Islamic calendar, all healthy adult Muslims
are required to abstain from food and drink. Through this
temporary deprivation, they renew their awareness of and
gratitude for everything God has provided in their lives—
including the Qur'an, which was first revealed during this
month. During Ramadan they share the hunger and thirst of
the needy as a reminder of the religious duty to help those
less fortunate.
5. Pilgrimage (hajj). Every Muslim whose health and finances
permit it must make at least one visit to the holy city of Mecca,
in present-day Saudi Arabia. The Kaaba, a cubical structure
covered in black embroidered hangings, is at the centre of the
Haram Mosque in Mecca (fig. 2). Muslims believe that it is the
house Abraham (Ibrahim in Arabic) built for God, and face in
its direction (qibla) when they pray. Since the time of the
Prophet Muhammad, believers from all over the world have
gathered around the Kaaba in Mecca on the eighth and twelfth
days of the final month of the Islamic calendar.
