  1. Michaela De Santis, Rachael Bell, Kristina Gorgieva, Cassie Nascimento Principal Beliefs of Islam

  2. Beliefs • Religion of allegiance to God – Allah and his prophet Mohammed. • Islam’s book of revelations is the Qur’an. • “entering into a condition of peace and security with God, through allegiance or surrender to him".

  3. First Principle: Allah • Only one divine God. • Rules alone. • No other is like him. • Perfect Attributes “He is God, the One. God, to Whom the creatures turn for their needs. He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none like Him.”

  4. Second Principle: Angels • Belief in existence and are honored. • Worship the Islam god and obey him. • Angel Gabriel brought down the Qu’ran to Muhummad. • Michael was the instrument for carrying out the plan of Allah for the creation of the universe. • Various unnamed angels perform such tasks as helping Muslims in battle, protecting the fates of heaven and hell, and keeping records of the people’s thoughts and actions for reference on Judgment Day.

  5. Third Principle: Qu’ran • Revelation of Allah’s intentions is through the prophets in the books of Allah. • Main four books are named; The Torah of Moses, the Psalms of David, the Gospels of Jesus, and the Qur’an. • The Qur’an is the last and most complete.

  6. Fourth Principle: Muhammed • There are 28 messengers or prophets of Allah, and Muhammed is the final and best. • Muslims believe in a Rusul, the messengers or prophets of God. • To each Rusul God revealed a scripture that held the same essential message as the Qur’an.

  7. Fifth Principle: Judgment Day • Divine judgment will result in eternal reward or punishment depending upon Allah’s mercy and justice.

  8. Sixth Principle: Predestination • the moral quality of the individual person’s thought and actions in life contribute to the state of life after death. • The Qur’an describes itself as a book of warning humanity about the judgment they will face in life after death. • That day is called the Day of Reckoning (Youm al-Qiyama).
