What are 10 important principles of the Islam religion?

Answer 1

The ten main important principles of Islam religion are considered in the following:

1. Monotheism: Islam, as its name means, is peace and the call for full submission to God, the one and only one, with no partner, no son, no father, no companion, no resemblance. This full submission to God leads to peace in yourself and between yourself and the universe that you are part of it.
2. Muhammad prophecy: Prophet Muhammad is God messenger and prophet to call for Islam.
3. Quran holy book: Quran, Islam holy book, was revealed by God to Prophet Muhammad through the Angel Gabriel. Quran is the text of God holy words that remained without single letter alteration or addition since Quran revelation to prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) until present and will remain as such until (with God promise) the Day of Judgment. See related question, below, on why Quran was revealed.
4. Sunnah: Prophet Muhammad sayings, doings, and practices that are recorded and authenticated by sincere early Muslims and followed up by Muslims.
5. Islam five pillars: These five pillars to be believed and followed up in by all Muslims. Denying any of them intentionally and knowingly by any Muslim gets him/her out of Islam faith. See related question, below, on Islam faith pillars.These five pillars are: 1) witness that no god except the one and only one God (Allah) and Muhammad is his messenger and prophet, 2) performing praying (Salat), 3) pay the alms giving (Zakat), 4) fasting Ramadan (Sawm), 5) and doing pilgrimage (Hajj) by who can afford it.
6. Faith Principles: To have faith in:
   • God (Allah)
   • God Angels
   • God holy books (including Psalms, Torah, The Bible, and Quran)
   • God prophets (including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad; peace upon them)
   • day of Judgment
   • Destiny
7. Muslim conduct: To follow the Islam morals guided by the Quran and Prophet Muhammad Sunnah. See related questions, below, on Islam ethics and moral.
8. Good deeds: Muslim is not only commanded to perform ritual worships but also, and equally important, to do good deeds for the benefit of oneself, family, community, and humanity.See related question, below, on Islam major teachings.
9. No religion compulsion: You are created free and you have full choice to believe in the religion and principles that you find them correct. Only God, the Creator and the All-Knowing, will judge your choice on the day of Judgment then, in the other eternal life, you go either to Hell or to the Paradise (with God mercy).See related question, below, on Quran Golden rules.
10. Cooperation for mankind goodness: God created people in different races, colors, peoples and tribes, and cultures not to live in conflicts but to compete in doing the good and to cooperate in piety and for mankind benefit. See related question, below, on how Muslims treat non Muslims.

Side viewIslam is the second largest religion in the world. TheIslamic belief systems is a set of goals from the Creator for the prophecy, which cannot be seen. The Islamic people believe in angles and the resurrection and the last day of life (Day of Judgment). Islam is a monotheistic religion of peace with the creator. Answer:Islam means obedience and submission of one's will before Allah. Whatever has been created in the universe is purposeful and when it fulfills its purpose of creation it means it is obeying its Creator and it is a Muslim with Islam as its way of life. For example, He created our stomach to digest food made for it, when it does its work, it means it is a Muslim to its creator. But in case anything disobeys Him, all the harms and resulting destruction goes to itself and nothing goes against the Creator. So whoever goes against what was it made for, if destroys itself and its surroundings.

The others things serve human beings because they are made for it. But the purpose for which the human beings have been created is to worship only Allah and to be His Muslims. To follow Him and to submit their wills before Him.

Here humans have been given option to follow Him or to Deny. But He didn't leave us unguided, and for this purpose He sent His Messengers showing right path to success. So all the Messengers were Muslims and they preached Islam. This is why it is a must in Islam to believe in all prophets and respect them.

Now if someone follows Islam (for which the humanity has been created), he will be successful in the test of this worldly life as he did what he was created for. And in the Afterlife he will be among successful people and the among the owners of Paradise. Otherwise, his abode will be Hell and that life is eternal life. And Allah who created sun, stars can of course create the Hell. And He who created the earth can create the Paradise, much more beautiful and bigger than our planet.

Today, if we want to know the details of how our Creator wants us to be and to do, we have to follow the guidance of the sources of Islamic knowledge which are Quran and Sunnah (the way of Prophet's life).

Islam is a monotheistic religion. People who believe in Islam are called Muslims. Muslims believe in the god Allah and completing Arkan-ul-Islam, or the five pillars of Islam. Muslims are forbidden to gamble, gossip, be lazy, eat pig or Gelatin, drink blood, or do anything that can create an addiction.

Beliefs in Islam:

1. Belief in One Supreme and Ever Existing God who cannot die, tell lies and fulfill His promises. He sustains everything. He is the creator and will destroy everything He created. In Hebrew EEL means god and in Arabic EElah or Ilah الہ means god. AL + ILAH becomes Allah - The God the Unique and One.
2. Belief in Angels. There are so many of them and only God knows how many they are and what duties they perform.
3. Belief in Prophets: This belief means there came about 124000 Prophets in all regions. Every Nation in all times got its Prophet to guide. But it was followers' duty to preserve the message of God. Until the Last Prophet Muhammad PBUH came and God took this duty himself. Hence there is no version of Quran, its single book with no doubts or contradictions. No grouping over its authenticity. More, all Prophets are equal in Islam so no one worships Prophet Muhammad PBUH in Islam. (A common misunderstanding found) All prophets though we know them are not who so ever they were are highly regarded in Islam that when ever you talk about them and say their names like Jesus Son Of Mary (PBUH), its must to say with humble and respect and both while saying and writing you must say علیہ السلام which means Peace be Upon Him. Jesus Son Of Mary in Arabic عیسیٰ بن مریم علیہ اسلام (Isaa bin Maryam PBUH) [Also called کلمتہ اللہ Word of God , روح اللہ Spirit of God, ابن مریم Son of Mary and مسیح الموعود the promised Messiah the Christ] is also accepted Christ and one of the mightiest (in miracles and mercy) Prophets of God. A must to remember key is Islam believes in Perfection of religion in every way so no more Prophets, Apostles, or Messengers etc. The Holy Spirit; the Archangel Gabriel Will not Descend again with new or old message in anyway. And hence Prophet Muhammad PBUH is the final Prophet from Allah and Quran is the Final Testament and Final Law. And now there is no room for any new commandment or Law. This is now Allah's responsibility to preserve and made safe His word and its people's responsibility to establish Law in lives to society. This also needs a much more detail not possible here.
4. Belief in Books: According to Islam, every prophet was given a bigger or smaller book. Some came with new version of Law and many came to just establish the previous given. In the first case The New Law prevailed and old one was respectfully nullified. But it was must to believe in its (the previous') authenticity as God's word. But it was followers' duty to preserve and protect in its original text form. All these times when ever the Law was shown dishonesty and was manipulated, a New one was given. Whenever people forgot to follow law as a whole a new reformer came from God, to establish the writ of Law. Moses PBUH was given Torah and later Prophets came to reestablish the state on foundation of Torah. But they got their own little books called Sahifa (singular, plural= Sahaif صحائف). Which contained commands to follow the Law.
5. Belief in Fate: This must not be mixed with (and got confused with) Fortune. Fate includes (i) Time of Birth (ii) place of Birth (iii) Age (Changeable) (iv) Time of Death (According to Age) (iii) Place of Death. Now, what is fortune? Fortune is everything in life which we do, for example, our education, status, life style, career, etc. It depends upon how we do and what we do. And in Hadith it states, "The deeds depend upon intention"(Sahih-ul-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 1, Number 1). God will be first judged upon by intentions not by acts, so if intention was right then he will be forgiven and will be blessed. Similarly if intention is wrong and is deceitful and evil then it doesn't matter what he does he will have his very little reward only to the extent he is doing an act. But no blessings, yet an equal wrath from God. This needs further explanation which is not fit for small text box.

AnswerIslam considers six fundamental beliefs to be the foundation of their faith:

1. A single, indivisible God. (God, the creator, is just, omnipotent and merciful. "Allah" is often used to refer to God; it is the Arabic word for God.)
2. The angels.
3. The divine scriptures, which include the Torah, the Psalms, the rest of the Bible, (as they were originally revealed) and the Qur'an (which is composed of God's words, dictated by the Archangel Gabriel to Muhammad).
4. The Messengers of God, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus and Muhammad -- the last prophet; (peace be upon them). Muhammad's message is considered the final, universal message for all of humanity.
5. The Day of Judgment when people will be judged on the basis of their deeds while on earth, and will either attain reward of Heaven or punishment in Hell. They do not believe that Jesus or any other individual can atone for another person's sin. Hell is where unbelievers and sinners spend eternity. One translation of the Qur'an, 98:1-8, states: "The unbelievers among the People of the Book and the pagans shall burn for ever in the fire of Hell. They are the vilest of all creatures." ("People of the Book" refers to Christians, Jews and Muslims). Paradise is a place of physical and spiritual pleasure where the sinless go after death
6. The supremacy of God's will.

More beliefs include:

• God did not have a son.

• Jesus (peace be upon him) is a prophet, born of the Virgin Mary. They regard the Christian concept of the deity of Jesus (pbuh) to be blasphemous; it is seen as a form of polytheism.

• Jesus (pbuh) was not executed on the cross. He escaped crucifixion and was taken up into Paradise.

• The existence of Satan drives people to sin.

• Muslims who sincerely repent and submit to God return to a state of purity, if God wills.

• All people are considered children of Adam. Islam officially rejects racism.

• All children are born on Al-Fitra (a pure, natural state of submission to Islam). His parents sometimes make him Christian, Jewish, etc.

• When a child reaches puberty an account of their deeds is opened in Paradise. When the person dies, their eventual destination (Paradise or Hell) depends on the balance of their good deeds (helping others, testifying to the truth of God, leading a virtuous life) and their bad deeds.

• Alcohol, illegal drugs, eating of pork, etc. are to be avoided.

• Gambling is sinful and is to be avoided.

AnswerIslam is based on the simple and true belief that there is none worthy of worship besides Allah and Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the worshiper and messenger of Allah.

In addition to the above: Islam religion is based on the teachings and instructions of the holy book Quran and prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sunnah (his sayings and practices).

AnswerThere is no one worthy to be worshiped, obeyed or followed except Allah exclusively and prophet Muhammad is his last messenger and his servant
There are lots of beliefs, but here are the top three -

1. Do Not Do Haram Things.

2. Believe in Allah (swt) as the one and only God, and his messenger, the prophet Muhammed (pbh).

3. Be Religious - Pray, Donate to Charity, and Be a good Overall Person.

If you want to research more, there are plenty of books in libraries about Islam.

Though the three Books preceding the Qur'an include certain

Human imperfections."

These earlier Books, it is believed, were abrogated."

4. "It is an article of faith that the purpose of the Qur'an is

To preserve original divine revelations by restoring the

Eternal truth of God." (Qur'an 5:44-48)

5. "Since the Qur'an abrogates all earlier Books, its ordinances

Continue to remain in force until the Day of Judgment"

D. PROPHETS (MESSENGERS)

Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Aaron,

Elijah, Elisha, David, Solomon, Job, Jonah, Ezra)

b. Three are from the New Testament (Zacharias, John, Jesus)

3. "Just as Adam is regarded by Muslims as the first prophet sent

By God, so Muhammad is the 'seal of the prophets' through whom

God reveals His eternal message in its definitive form (Qur'an

33:40)."

4. "Muhammad's life and death marked the end of prophecy since his

Prophetic mission satisfied for all time any need or demand for

Another prophet."

E. THE DAY OF JUDGMENT:

1. "The Last Day, or the final Day of Judgment, occupies a very

Important place in Qur'an and in the Ahadith."

2. "The vivid description of the events leading up to the Last Day

And the elaborate portrayals of the final judgment are very

Similar to the book of Revelation; (Qur'an 81:1-14;

82:1-19; 69:13-37)

3. "...Islamic doctrine associates the coming of 'The Guided One'

(Mahdi) with signs that foreshadow the Last Day."

4. "...Muslims believe that on the Last Day, the graves will be

Open, the dead will resurrect, and a judgment will be

Pronounced on every individual according to his or her deeds."

Answer 4

The basic tenets of Islam are:

• Belief in God, the one and only one God with no partner, no son, no associate, and no companion
• Belief in prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as God prophet and Messenger
• Belief in the five pillars of Islam (testimony of God oneness and Muhammad prophet-hood, Praying, alms giving, fasting Ramadan, and performing pilgrimage)
• Belief in six articles of faith (faith in God, His angels, His holy books, His prophets, Resurrection day, and destiny)
• Belief in Quran and following Quran teachings
• Following Islam morals
• Performing good deeds

Refer to question below.

Answer

The 'Five Pillars' or Tenets of Islam are the foundation of Muslim life:

• Faith or belief in the Oneness of God and the finality of the prophethood of Muhammad;
• Establishment of the daily prayers;
• Concern for and almsgiving to the needy;
• Self-purification through fasting; and
• The pilgrimage to Makkah for those who are able.

AnswerAccording to the Qur'an all Muslims have to believe in God, His revelations, His angels, His messengers, and in the "Day of Judgment". Also, there are other beliefs that differ between particular sects. The Sunni concept of predestination is called divine decree, while the Shi'a version is called divine justice. Unique to the Shi'a is the doctrine of Imamah, or the political and spiritual leadership of the Imams. Muslims believe that God revealed his final message to humanity through the Islamic prophet Muhammad via the angel Gabriel. For them, Muhammad was God's final prophet and the Qur'an is the revelations he received over more than two decades. In Islam, prophets are men selected by God to be his messengers. Muslims believe that prophets are human and not divine, though some are able to perform miracles to prove their claim. Islamic prophets are considered to be the closest to perfection of all humans, and are uniquely the recipients of divine revelation-either directly from God or through angels. Islamic theology says that all of God's messengers since Adam preached the message of Islam-submission to the will of the one God. Islam is described in the Qur'an as "the primordial nature upon which God created mankind", and the Qur'an states that the proper name Muslim was given by Abraham. As a historical phenomenon, Islam originated in Arabia in the early 7th century. Islamic texts depict Judaism and Christianity as prophetic successor traditions to the teachings of Abraham. The Qur'an calls Jews and Christians "People of the Book" (ahl al-kitāb), and distinguishes them from polytheists. Muslims believe that parts of the previously revealed scriptures, the Tawrat (Torah) and the Injil (Gospels), had become distorted-either in interpretation, in text, or both.

..................................................................................................................,

Answer

Islam's basic tenets of belief to be known are the fundamentals of îmân and Islam. The fundamentals of îmân are as follows:

1. Belief in Allah

Allahu ta'âlâ is the Wâjib al-wujûd [the Necessary Existence] and the Real Ma'bûd [the One worshipped] and the Creator of all things. There is no ilâh (being to be worshipped) except Him. He is not with time or with place. He does not resemble anything.

As-Sifât [Attributes] adh-Dhâtiyya of Allahu ta'âlâ are six:

al-Wujûd,

al-Qidam,

al-Baqâ',

al-Wahdâniyya,

al-Mukhâlafatu li-l-hawâdith,

al-Qiyâmu bi nafsihî.

[al-Wujûd: existence; al-Qidam: being without beginning, and eternal in the past; al-Baqâ': being without end, and eternal in the future; al-Wahdâniyya: having no partner or match; al-Mukhâlafatu li-l-hawâdith: being dissimilar to every creature in every respect; al-Qiyâmu bi nafsihî: self existence, being unneedy of anything for His existence.]

The Sifât [Attributes] ath-Thubûtiyya of Allahu ta'âlâ are eight:

Hayât,

'Ilm,

Sam',

Basar,

Qudrat,

Irâda,

Kalâm,

Takwîn.

[Hayât: Life, Ever-Living; 'Ilm: Omniscience; Sam': Hearing; Basar: Seeing; Qudrat:Omnipotence; Irâda: Will; Kalâm: Speech, Word; Takwîn: Creativeness.]

These Attributes of His are eternal in the past (being without beginning).

2. Belief in His angels

Angels are alive; that is, they have life. They are nûrânî [luminous, spiritual] creatures that have reason ['aql]. They are beloved and dear slaves of Allahu ta'âlâ. They are not His partners, nor are they His daughters. They obey His commands, and they never react in disobedience to the commands, nor do they commit sins. They do not engage in duties other than what they are commanded. They are neither male nor female. They do not get married, do not give birth, do not reproduce, and do not have children. They do not eat or drink. They have wings but we do not know the genuine nature of those wings.

The angels that record all actions of human beings are called Kirâman Kâtibîn. The questioning angels are called Munkar and Nakîr. The most superior angels are the four archangels, namely, Jabrâ'îl ('alaihis-salâm), Isrâfîl ('alaihis-salâm), Mikâ'îl ('alaihis-salâm) and 'Azrâ'îl ('alaihis-salâm).

3. Belief in Divine Books

Allahu ta'âlâ sent many Books. However, only 104 of them are mentioned in our religious books. 100 of them are little Books called suhuf [pl. of sahîfa].

These 100 suhuf were revealed to the following Prophets:

10 suhuf to Âdam ('alaihis-salâm),

50 suhuf to Shît ('alaihis-salâm),

30 suhuf to Idrîs ('alaihis-salâm),

10 suhuf to Ibrâhîm (Abraham 'alaihis-salâm).

The other four big Books were revealed to the following Prophets:

The Tawrât (Torah) to Mûsâ (Moses 'alaihis-salâm),

The Zabûr (the original Psalms) to Dâwud ('alaihis-salâm),

The Injîl (Latin 'Evangelium') to 'Îsâ (Jesus 'alaihis-salâm),

The Qur'ân al-karîm to our Master the Prophet Muhammad ('alaihis-salâm).

The Qur'ân al-karîm replaced all Divine Books, abolished the validity of their rules, and included all these rules in itself. Today all people have to obey the commandments of the Qur'ân al-karîm. Accordingly, it is declared in the Qur'ân al-karîm: "Obey My Prophet!" In this case, we have to obey the rules stated in hadîth-i sharîfs as well. At the present time there are not original copies of Tawrât or Injîl in any country. There are defiled Injîls available. These Divine Books were distorted, that is, altered by people later on. Even if they had not been defiled, they still wouldn't have had validity because all of them were abrogated, that is, invalidated by Allahu ta'âlâ.

The revelation of the Qur'ân al-karîm was made verse by verse and completed in 23 years. It will remain valid up to the end of the world. It is kept secure from being invalid and distortions. One who claims that there are reductions or additions in the Qur'ân al-karîm has not believed in Allahu ta'âlâ.

It is purported in âyat-i karîmas:

(We have sent down the Qur'ân, and certainly We are its Guardian.) [Sûrat-ul-Hijr, 9]

(The Qur'an is a unique, unmatched Book. Falsehood[reductions or additions] cannot approach it from before or behind [in no direction, in no way] it. [Because] It is sent down by Allah Who is praised by the universe and Who is the Owner of ruling and hikmah.) [Sûrat-u Fussilat, 41-42]

4. Belief in prophets

The first of the prophets is Âdam ('alaihis-salâm) and the last one is Muhammad ('alaihis-salâm). So many prophets were sent between these two, but we do not know their exact number. It is well-known that they are more than 124,000.

Having belief in prophets means believing in the fact that all prophets, without exception, were devoted, truthful people who were selected by Allahu ta'âlâ. One who does not believe in even one of them regarded as not believing in any.

All prophets, from Âdam ('alaihis-salâm) to Muhammad ('alaihis-salâm), communicated the same îmân and ordered their ummats to believe in the same things. Jews believe in Mûsâ (Moses 'alaihis-salâm) but do not believe in 'Îsâ ('alaihis-salâm) and Muhammad ('alaihis-salâm). Christians believe in 'Îsâ ('alaihis-salâm) but do not believe in Muhammad ('alaihis-salâm). As for Muslims, they believe in and accept all prophets.

All prophets have these peculiarities:

Amâna [trustworthiness],

Sidq [their all deeds are true; they never lie],

Tabligh [they communicate the religion precisely],

Adâla [justness],

'Isma [they never commit sins],

Fatâna [super intelligence],

Amn al-'azl [security against dismissal from prophethood].

Just from the time of Âdam ('alaihis-salâm), who was the first human being created and who was the first Prophet to come, Allahu ta'âlâ sent mankind a religion by means of a prophet every thousand years. Through the medium of religions, He prescribed the way which leads people to serenity and happiness in this world and to endless bliss in the Hereafter. A prophet who brought a new religion is called a "rasûl." Rasûls who have a higher degree than the others are called Ulu'l-'azm. These are Âdam, Nûh (Noah), Ibrâhîm (Abraham), Mûsâ (Moses), 'Îsâ (Jesus), and Muhammad('alaihimus-salâtu wa's-salâm).

A prophet who did not bring a new religion but invited people to the previous religion is called a "nabî."

Muhammad ('alaihis-salâm) is the Last Prophet; that is, no prophet will succeed him.

It is purported in the Qur'ân al-karîm:

(Muhammad ('alaihis-salâm) is the Messenger of Allah and the final of the prophets.) [Sûrat-ul-Ahzâb, 40]

5. Belief in the Last Day

After death, everybody will be resurrected and will go to Paradise or Hell after questioning and settlement of accounts on every action. Paradise and Hell exist now, and both of them are eternal. Paradise for Muslims and Hell for disbelievers will be eternal abode.

It is not made known when Doomsday will occur. Nevertheless, our Master the Prophet pointed out many of its harbingers and precedents:

Hadrat al-Mahdî will come; 'Îsâ ('alaihis-salâm) will descend from the sky; ad-Dajjal (who is called Antichrist by Christians) will appear; people called Ya'jûj and Ma'jûj will put the whole world into turmoil; the sun will rise in the west; violent earthquakes will occur; religious knowledge will be forgotten; vice and evil will increase.

6. Belief in qadar and that good (khair) and evil (sharr) are from Allahu ta'âlâ

Good and evil, advantage and harm coming upon human beings are all by Allahu ta'âlâ's Will.

Qadar means Allahu ta'âlâ's knowing (with His Eternal Knowledge) and willing all deeds of human beings and other creatures that they will do. Qadâ' means the [instance] creation of anything just compatibly with qadar. Both are termed qadâ' and qadar.

Though everything, good or evil deeds of human beings, are created by Allahu ta'âlâ, He has bestowed irâda-i juz'iyya [partial will] upon people. If one, using this partial will, wants a good deed to be created, then one gains thawâb. But if one wants an evil deed to be created, then one will have committed a sin. If people commit sins, they will be meted out punishments. On the other hand, if they earn thawâb, then they will be awarded in the Hereafter. In other words, Allahu ta'âlâ does not compel his born slaves to commit sins.
According to the Qur'an all Muslims have to believe in God, His revelations, His angels, His messengers, and in the "Day of Judgment". Also, there are other beliefs that differ between particular sects. The Sunni concept of predestination is called divine decree, while the Shi'a version is called divine justice. Unique to the Shi'a is the doctrine of Imamah, or the political and spiritual leadership of the Imams.

Muslims believe that parts of the previously revealed scriptures, the Tawrat (Torah) and the Injil (Gospels), had become distorted-either in interpretation, in text, or both.

Answer 5

There are basically 5 tenets of Islam which are taken in significance. they are

1) The Testimony of Faith

The testimony of faith is saying with conviction, "La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammadur rasoolu Allah." This saying means "There is no true god (deity) but God (Allah),1 and Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of God." The first part, "There is no true god but God," means that none has the right to be worshipped but God alone, and that God has neither partner nor son. This testimony of faith is called the Shahada,

2) Prayer:

Muslims perform five prayers a day. Each prayer does not take more than a few minutes to perform. Prayer in Islam is a direct link between the worshipper and God. There are no intermediaries between God and the worshipper.

3) Giving Zakat/Alms/Charity (Support of the Needy):

All things belong to God, and wealth is therefore held by human beings in trust. The original meaning of the word zakat is both 'purification' and 'growth.' Giving zakat means 'giving a specified percentage on certain properties to certain classes of needy people.' The percentage which is due on gold, silver, and cash funds that have reached the amount of about 85 grams of gold and held in possession for one lunar year is two and a half percent.

4) Fasting the Month of Ramadan:

Every year in the month of Ramadan,4 all Muslims fast from dawn until sundown, abstaining from food, drink, and sexual relations.

Although the fast is beneficial to health, it is regarded principally as a method of spiritual self-purification. By cutting oneself off from worldly comforts, even for a short time, a fasting person gains true sympathy with those who go hungry, as well as growth in his or her spiritual life.

5) The Pilgrimage to Makkah:

The annual pilgrimage (Hajj) to Makkah is an obligation once in a lifetime for those who are physically and financially able to perform it.

Answer 6

There are mainly five things:
