Teaching and Beliefs of Islam

on Friday, November 2, 2012

According to Islamic ethics, every child is regarded as an innocent human being. Therefore, there is no chance of any sin being committed just after being born. To be considered guilty of a sin, one needs to be in certain age group. Another significant point is that, no one will be regarded as guilty until they have intentionally and consciously committed the sin. Islam is not known to be a sacramental religion. None of the followers of this religion receive any kind of sacrament.
Anyone can become Muslim if she or he is matured enough to make his or her own decision about the matter. There will be no ceremony or related festive occasions for celebrating the religious conversion; it is dependent on a true connection between the almighty Allah, and the woman or man who is devoting their lives to almighty Allah. When a person understands the creed of Islam, he or she will be believed to be Muslim. They must believe that there is no god other than Allah, and the beloved prophet Mohammad (may peace be upon him) is the final or last messenger of Almighty, and they must believe in the final day or the day of judgment. For all Muslims, these virtues have to be believed or they will not be called as Muslims. And all these doctrines have become an indispensable part of Muslim Culture.
For each and every Muslim, following doctrines on Islam have to be accepted:

Almighty Allah: Islam is believed to be the monotheistic religion. The religion is absolutely strict with this belief. All followers of this religion have to have a strong belief that there is only one god in this planet, and there will be no others after him. Followers of Islam also believe that angels exist and that the throne of almighty Allah is surrounded by those angels. The most powerful angel is Gabriel. Iblish used to be an Angel, but now he is known to be the Satan or Devil. He holds the power or authority to control both female and male demons, and he is one who distracts Allah’s followers from the path of Allah, and his virtues.

Holy Book:
In Islam, the holy book is Al Quran. It is believed that all words have been written from Allah’s own guidance. Each and every word has a meaning, and it is the duty of all Muslims to understand the meanings and apply them wherever is applicable. It is also believed that the Al Quran is the only book in this world which is totally error free. Muslims who can memorize each sentence of this holy book will eventually get a high reward from Almighty Allah.

Prophets:
According the teachings and ethics of Islam, there had been a number of people who were considered as prophets like Ishmael, Noah, Abraham, Jesus, Moses, John the Baptist, and Mohammad. The beloved prophet Mohammed is believed to be the last one of all prophets.
