Accepting any religion is a very serious matter. One should be extremely careful and conscious about discarding a set of beliefs and accepting another. It would be advisable to study Islamic teachings and try to understand them. But don't judge Islam on the criteria of the deeds of Muslims. It is very rare to find true Muslims, true Jews, or true Christians. Accept Islam only if it appeals to your heart and mind. Better remain in the company of a Muslim scholar and learn Islamic teachings. Following are the Basic beliefs of Islam. Basic Beliefs of the Muslims:

1. Belief in Almighty Allah (God) Sura Baqra -2. Aya 163: And your Allah is ONE Allah, There is no god but He. He is the Sole Creator, Sustainer, Provider and Ruler of the Universe. He has No Son, No Parents, No off-spring. He is Omnipotent, Omni-Present, All-Knowing, All-Seeing, All-Listening. HE and He alone deserves worship. All powers lie in His Hands. He alone is the Master of the Day of Judgment. He has No Partner, No Associate whatsoever. No one can understand Him completely. There is Nothing like Him. He is Most Merciful, Most Gracious, Most Forgiving..

2. Belief in Angels Created by Almighty Allah Karim from light. They are obedient to Allah Karim. Carry out His commands.

3. Belief in all heavenly books, including Tora, Zaboor, the Bible, the last one being the Qur'an.

4. Belief in all the Messengers of Almighty Allah- No distinction among them. Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) being the last Prophet of Islam. NO Prophet after him.

5. Belief in the Day of Judgment. Almighty Allah Karim is the Sole Ruler/Master of that Day. He enjoys the absolute authority to send people to Heaven or Hell.

6. Good and bad Destiny being in the Hands of Almighty Allah. No One can change his destiny.

7. Life hereafter: All the dead will be raised again and judged according to their good or bad deeds. There will be no death to them.

8. Hell and Heaven (Paradise)

These may be further elaborated in the light of the holy Qur'an and the Sahih Hadith.

Five Pillars of Islam:

1. Shahadat: [testimony that there is no god except Allah (God) the One and Only One, having No Partner whatsoever. And Muhammad is His servant and Messenger],

2. Salah: (praying five times a day)

3. Zakah: (specific compulsory charity-2,5% of annual savings)

4. Saum: (fasting during Ramadan)

5. Hajj: (pilgrimage) for each Muslim once in lifetime those who can afford it.

The Muslims believe in afterlife, the Day of Judgment, heaven and hell. Anyhow, they don't believe in reincarnation as the Hindus or the Budhists believe. The Muslims believe that a man takes birth, lives in this world, dies, is buried, his soul does not die. He will be raised in the hereafter to account for his good and bad deeds. He will be punished in hell or rewarded by sending to paradise. The Sole Authority to us lies in the Hands of our Creator, Almighty Allah. There will be no death after that. We taste death only once.

The Muslims believe that all humans, animals, fish and birds etc have been created by Almighty God (Allah in Arabic). He has created us all and loves us all. The Muslims are NOT intolerant to other religions as long as they do not try to harm them or create disturbance in society. The past history of the Muslims shows that Non-Muslims have been living peacefully in the Muslim countries. They are still living peacefully in many Muslim countries. A few so-called Muslims might be intolerant. Such people are found in the followers of other religions as well.
