about Islam

The prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him ), who was born in A.D. 570 at Mecca, in Saudi Arabia, is often regarded as the founder of Islam. He was the last prophet to be sent by Allah. There were many prophets before Muhammad (pbuh) including: Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses) and Isa (Jesus).

Islam means peace, submission and obedience.

Islam is based on the ministry of a man named Muhammad (peace be upon him), and on the words that Allah gave to the world through Muhammad.

Muslims have 6 main beliefs

1. Belief in Allah as the one and only God.
2. Belief in angels.
3. Belief in the holy books.
4. Belief in the Prophets (special messengers).
   e.g. Adam, Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses), Dawud (David), Isa (Jesus).
   Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the final prophet.
5. Belief in the Day of Judgement...
   The day when the life of every human being will be assessed to decide whether they go to heaven or hell.
6. Belief in Predestination...
   That Allah has already decided what will happen.
   Muslims believe that this doesn't stop human beings making free choices
