The Tenets of Islam
There are basic five tenets of Islam. THESE are following:
1 Allah
2 Angels
3 books
4 Prophets
5 The Day of Judgment.
A: Allah
Islam is predicated on the belief that there is but one God,
Allah, the Creator of the universe and of humankind...Mercy and
Compassion is his principal qualities
It is essential to become a Muslim to believe on the first tenet of Islam. All the messengers of Allah had taught the people to believe on one GOD, who is Allah. HE created all things.
B. ANGELS:
Allah had created the angels. They are made of light.
Angels are frequently mentioned in the Qur'an."
"They are God's messengers who exercise a potent influence on
Both the life of humans and the life of the universe."
In the light of quranic verses:
1: "Angels are said to act as intermediaries asking God to
Forgive the offenses of believers" (Qur'an 40:7)
2; "At the time of death, the souls of humans are received by
Angels, who have kept a record of their actions and will,
Witness for or against them on the Day of Judgment (Qur'an 21:103; 13:24; 33:43)
C. BOOKS (SCRIPTURES)
1. "One of the central doctrines of Islamic faith is belief in all
Of Allah revealed messages, which now consist of four books:
A: Torah
B: Psalms
C: Gospels
D: Qur'an."
2. "These four Books are to be regarded as Holy Scriptures, even
Though the three Books preceding the Qur'an include certain
Human imperfections."
3. "With the appearance of the Qur'an, the noblest of the Books,
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)
1. "To all peoples and in all ages, God sent prophets or
Messengers to proclaim the Oneness of God and to warn humanity
Of the future judgment (Qur'an 10:47; 16:36)."
2. The Qur'an mentions many by name: - cf. Qur'an 6:83-90
a. Most are Old Testament figures (Adam, Enoch, Noah, Lot,
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."
