Beliefs of Islam

Once Angel Jibraeel (Alaihis Salam) came and asked our prophet (saw)," What is Imaan(faith)?". Then prophet (saw) replied "Imaan is to believe in Allah and His angels, His books, His messengers and the day of judgment and that fate (Taqdir) good and bad is given by Allah".
Beliefs of Islam in five thighs:
1. Allah (God).
2. Angels.
3. Kitaabs (Books of Allah).
4. Prophets (Messengers of Allah).
5. Qiyamat (The last day).
1. Allah (subhanahu wata’ala): Allah is single. He is powerful; He created the    earth, the skies, the sun, the moon, the stars and the whole universe. He was not formed by anyone. He does not depend on anyone, all depend on him. No one resembles Allah and He resembles none. He is clean from all faults. He does not have eyes, nose or body like that of human being. Belief to Allah is the main beliefs of Islam.
2. Angels: The second beliefs of Islam is Angels. Allah has formed Angels out of light and gave them various duties to perform. We do not know their accurate number. We recognize of four famous Angels. They are:
Hazrat Jibraeel (Alaihis-Salam) brought Allah’s books, Orders and messages to all the prophets. He was also sent to help the prophets at times and fight beside their enemies.
Hazrat Michaaeel (a.s) is in accusing of food and rain. Other Angels work under him who is in charge of clouds, the seas the rivers and winds. He gets the order form Allah. He then orders the others under his authority.
Hazrat Azraeel(a.s) takes away life with the order of Allah. He is in alleging of death. Many Angels work under him. Some get away the lives of good persons whilst others looking extremely fearful take away the lives of sinners and disbelievers.
Hazrat Israafeel (a.s) will blow the Soor (Trumpet) on the Day of Judgment. The sound will destroy and kill all that is on earth and in the skies. Once he blows for the second time all will come to life with the order of Allah.
There are two Angels at all times with every person in lives. One writes all his Good Deeds whilst the other writes all his Bad Deeds. The are know as Kiraman-Kaatibeen.
Jinn: Are religious beings formed out of fire….who is ranked stuck between angels and men and be capable of be either good or bad. Satan is a Jinn and not a fallen angel according to Islam.
Satan: A Jinn who refused to fall face down before Adam after he was created. He is the person in charge of evil ones in the world.                                                                                     Al Quran- (Sura 18:50)
3. Kitaabs (Books of Allah).
Allah has revealed His Books to various prophets for the guidance of their nation. The large books are called Kitaabs whilst the small ones are called Sahifas. There are important beliefs of Islam is books of Allah. The four Kitaabs that were revealed are the:
i) The Touraat.
ii) The Jaboor.
iii) Inzeel.
iv) Holy Quran.
The Touraat (Old Testament) was given to Hazrat Moosa (Alaihis-Salaam).
The jaboor (Pslams) were given to Hazrat Dawood (Alaihis-Salaam).
The Inzeel (Gospel) was given to Hazrat Isaa (Alaihis-Salaam).
The Holy Quran the final Book of Allah was revealed to Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa “Sallallaho Alaihe-wa-Sallam”(Peace be upon him).
These are books mentioned in the Koran as God’s Word but most Muslims feel the current books are corrupt. Intended for this reason Allah gave Mohammed the “Quran”. Many Muslims try on the road to find Mohammed in the Bible and feel he is referred to in Deuteronomy.
4. Prophets (Messengers of Allah).
Allah sent many messengers to this world from time to time to direct mankind. These messengers were identified as Rasools and Nabis. First Messengers was Hazrat Adam (Alaihis-Salaam) whilst the Last was Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallaho-Alaihe-wa-Sallam)
During Islam Allah has spoken all the way through frequent prophets down through the centuries, including Hazrat Adam (Alaihis-Salaam), Hazrat Noah (Alaihis-Salaam), Hazrat Ibrahiam(Alaihis-Salaam), Hazrat Moses(Alaihis-Salaam) and Hazrat Isaa(Alaihis-Salaam).  The beginning prophet and the last prophet is Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallaho-Alaihe-wa-Sallam), he is the seal of the prophets. No more prophets will come after him. He was the final prophet of Allah. In the Holy Qur’an Allah mentioned our Nabi Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallaho-Alaihe-wa-Sallam) as Khaatamun Nabiyeen whice means that he is the Last of all the Nabis.

5. Qiyamat (The Day of Judgment):
Beliefs of Islam five option is The day of judgment. The prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallaho-Alaihe-wa-Sallam) said, the two feet of the son (or daughter) of Adam will not move from near his (or her) lord on the Day of Judgment. Qiyamat (the Day of Judgment) until he(or she) is asked about Five Matters:
i) About his or her life, how he or she spent it.
ii) About his or her youth, how he or she took care of it.
iii) About his or her wealth, how he or she earned it.
iv) How to spend his or her wealth.
v) About that which he or she acted upon form the knowledge that he or she acquired.
Everyone will be resurrected to situate before Allah to be judged in the final Day. Persons who follow Allah and Mohammed will go to Paradise others will go to Hell. Everyone will pass all the way through Hell and even some Muslim will expend time in Hell till their sins are burned away and Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallaho-Alaihe-wa-Sallam) intercedes for them.
Beliefs of Islam means complete faith in Allah and His prophet Muhammad (saw).
