A.
Oneness of God:
He
is One and the Only One. He is not two in one or three in
one. This means that Islam rejects the idea of trinity or
such a unity of Cod which implies more than one God in
one.
B.
Oneness of mankind:
People are created equal in front of the Law of God. There
is no superiority for one race over another. God made us
of different colors, nationalities, languages and beliefs
so as to test who is going to be better than others. No
one can claim that he is better than others. It is only
God Who knows who is better. It depends on piety and
righteousness.
C.
Oneness of Messengers and the Message:
Muslims believe that God sent different messengers
throughout the history of mankind. All came with the same
message and the same teachings. It was the people who
misunderstood and misinterpreted them.
Muslims
believe in Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, Jacob, Moses,
David, Jesus, and Muhammad. The Prophets of Christianity
and Judaism are indeed the Prophets of Islam.
D.
Angels and the Day of Judgment:
Muslims believe that there are unseen creatures such as
angels created by God in the universe for special
missions.
Muslims
believe that there is a Day of Judgment when all people of
the world throughout the history of mankind till the last
day of life on earth, are to be brought for accounting,
reward and punishment.
E.
Innocence of Man at Birth:
Muslims believe that people are born free of. sin. It is
only after they reach the age of puberty and it is only
after they commit sins that are to be charged for their
mistakes. No responsible for or can take the
responsibility for the sins of others. However, the do.
forgiveness through true repentance is always open.
F.
State and Religion:
Muslims believe that Islam is a total and a complete way
of life. It encompasses all aspect of life. As such, the
teachings of Islam do not separate religion from politics.
As a matter of fact, state and religion are under the
obedience of Allah through the teachings of Islam. Hence,
economic and social transactions, as we educational and
political systems are also of the teachings of Islam.
