The Islamic tradition teaches that the Quran was revealed to Muhammad over a period of 23 years. The process began when Muhammad was meditating in a cave on Mount Hira.
Example: According to Islamic belief, the Angel Jibril (Gabriel) appeared to Muhammad and commanded him to recite. Despite being unable to read, Muhammad was miraculously able to recite the words.
After Muhammad's death, the Quran was compiled under the instruction of Abu Bakr, Muhammad's successor.
Belief in life after death is one of the most fundamental beliefs in Islam. Muslims believe that after death, individuals remain in their graves until the Day of Judgment (Yawm al-Din).
Vocabulary: Akhirah - The Islamic concept of the afterlife
On the Day of Judgment, Muslims believe all people will be resurrected and brought before Allah to be judged based on their earthly lives.
Definition: Janna - The Islamic concept of paradise, described as a garden of everlasting bliss Definition: Jahannam - The Islamic concept of hell, a place of physical and spiritual suffering
Those who have performed more good deeds than bad will enter Janna, while those with more bad deeds will enter Jahannam. However, Muslims believe in Allah's mercy and forgiveness for those who have sincerely repented.
Muhammad is regarded as the Seal of the Prophets in Islam, meaning he is considered the final messenger of Allah. This belief is central to Islamic theology.
Definition: Seal of the Prophets - The concept that Muhammad is the last in the line of prophets, completing and authenticating the prophetic traditions.
In Islamic teaching, sin is defined as an immoral act against God. Muslims believe that on the Day of Judgment, Allah will weigh an individual's good deeds against their sins.
Highlight: Those whose evil deeds outweigh their good deeds will face punishment.
Prophet Muhammad is viewed as the ideal role model for all Muslims. He is believed to have embodied the best human values and encouraged respect for all people, regardless of their background.
Quote: The Quran describes Muhammad as a "beautiful pattern" for believers to follow.
Muslims are instructed to emulate Muhammad's example as a way of submitting to Allah and living according to the Quran's teachings.
Islam teaches that Allah is the one true God, possessing supreme attributes:
As the creator and sustainer of the world, Allah gave humans the responsibility of stewardship (khalifa) over the planet.
Highlight: Muslims believe they must protect the environment as part of their duty to care for Allah's creation. They will be held accountable for this stewardship on Judgment Day.
Quote: "It is He who has made you successors of earth" - Quran
Islam promotes living harmoniously with nature rather than dominating it. The world is viewed as sacred, similar to a place of worship.
Example: Muslims may help the environment by recycling, reducing consumption, using sustainable transportation, conserving resources, and supporting environmental causes.
Free will is an essential Islamic belief, as life is seen as a test from Allah. Humans must make their own choices, which will be judged by Allah.
Vocabulary: Al-Qadr - The Islamic concept of divine destiny or predestination
Some Muslims find comfort in Al-Qadr, believing that even negative events are part of Allah's plan. However, this doesn't negate human responsibility.
Example: Muslims often use the phrase "insha'Allah" (if God wills it) to express their belief in divine predestination.
The Five Pillars of Islam are the fundamental practices that every Muslim is expected to fulfill. They are:
Shahadah: The declaration of faith and belief in one God (Allah)
Salat: Performing set prayers five times daily
Zakat: Giving a portion of one's wealth to charity
Sawm: Fasting during the month of Ramadan
Hajj: Pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in a lifetime, if physically and financially able
Highlight: These pillars form the core of Islamic practice and are considered essential for living a righteous life in accordance with Allah's will.
Each pillar serves a specific purpose in strengthening a Muslim's faith and connection to Allah, as well as fostering a sense of community and social responsibility within the Islamic faith.
Example: Zakat, for instance, not only purifies one's wealth but also helps to reduce economic inequality within society.
Understanding and practicing these pillars is crucial for Muslims seeking to fulfill their religious obligations and draw closer to Allah.
