ISLAM
ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION UNTO THE WILL OF GOD AND
THOSE THAT SUBMIT UNTO THE WILL OF GOD ARE CALLED MUSLIMS.
PRINCIPLES OF THE RELIGION OF ISLAM:
(Note .-ALLAH is an Arabic word which stands for
the One and Only God, who is Self-Subsisting; Eternal; neither Slumber
nor Sleep overtaketh Him; the Source of Peace and Perfection, the Guardian
of Faith, the Exalted in Might, the Irresistible, the Supreme; no vision
can comprehend Him but He comprehends all vision; who begets not and who
is not begotten and there is nothing like unto Him that can be imagined.
Such is Allah our Lord and your Lord: the only One deserving of worship;
worthy of all Praise.)
1. The Declaration of Faith which reads:
La ilaha illallah Muhummed-Ur-Rasul Lul-Lah (there is no
other object of worship but Allah and Muhummed is the Messenger of Allah).
The Muslims also believe in:.
(a) All the Prophets and Messengers
of Allah, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus;
(b) All the revealed Books of Allah,
of which the Holy Quran is the last and perfect one,
(c) All the Angels who are the
spiritual beings of Allah;
(d) The Islamic doctrine that the
power of action proceeds from Allah and every human being is morally responsible
for his own actions;
(e) The Day of Resurrection and
of Judgment.
2. Obligatory Prayers, five times a day.
3. Fasting during the Muslim month of Ramadan.
This fasting takes the form of abstaining from all foods, drinks and sensual
pleasures from dawn to sunset.
4. Zakaat which is an obligatory tax on savings
above a prescribed quantity.
