Shahadah - Testimony of Faith

• Ashaduanna Laa ilaaha Illallah Wa Ashaduanna
  Muhammadur Rasoolullah
• I bear witness that there is no god but Allah
  and
• I bear witness that Muhammad is the
  Messenger of Allah.
• A person becomes Muslim by reciting, believing
  and practicing the Shahadah!

Salah - Prayer

• 1. Fajr - at dawn until before sunrise - 2 rakats
• 2. Dhuhr - noon until late afternoon - 4 rakats
• 3. Asr - late afternoon until sunset - 4 rakats

Zakat - Sharing with the Needy

  year to the poor and needy. Our wealth belongs to
  Allah and Allah will give us more if we pay Zakat.

Saum - Fasting

  sunset each day. We do not eat or drink and avoid
  bad things.

8
Hajj - Pilgrimage

  pilgrimage to the Kabah in Mecca at least once
  in a lifetime.

AllahTawheed-The Oneness of Allah

• 1. Lordship- Allah is the only Creator and
  Sustainer.
• 2. Names and Attributes- We describe Allah only
  as He and the Prophet(saw) did in the Quran and
  Sunnah.
• 3. Worship- We worship and ask help from only
  Allah.

10
Allah has 99 names called Asma-ul-Husna. We
accept these names, do not deny them, and do not
try to explain them. We should try to understand
the significance of these names and try to live
upto them. The Proper Name of the Creator is
Allah.

• Rabb- The Sustainer
• Ar-rahman-the Most Gracious
• Ar-raheem- the Most Merciful
• Al-malik- the King
• Al-quddus-the Holy
• As-salam-the Source of Peace
• Al-mumin-The Giver of Faith
• Al-muhaimin-the Preserver of Safety

• Al-azeez-the Exalted in might
• Al-jabbar-the Irresistible
• Al-mutakabbir - the Supreme
• Al-khaliq - the Creator
• Al-baari - the Maker
• Al-musawwir-the Shaper of all forms and apperances

11
Angels - MalaikahAngels are the servants of
Allah. They are made from Nur-light. They never
disobey Allah and are ready to obey Allahs
commands. Angels have many different jobs. One
job of Angel Jibreel was to bring Divine
Revealation to the prophet Muhammad (saw). 2
Recording Angels are with us all the time writing
down everything we say or do. Some great angels
are

• Jibraeel
• Mikaeel
• Izraeel
• Israfil

12
Prophets of Allah-RusulullahWhenever we forgot
the message of Allah, He sent us prophets and
messengers to teach us to worship and obey Him.
Allah sent prophets to every nation. Allah
completed His Message with Muhammad (s). Thre
shall be no prophet after him. He is the last and
final of all prophets and messengers. The
complete message which Allah gave to Muhammad (s)
is ISLAM. It is the complete guidance for all
humanind until the end of the world. We will be
happy and find peace if we only follow Islam.

Books of AllahAllah sent books to some of his

books sent to earlier messengers. These books
were later lost or changed by their followers.
The Quran is the only original complete guidance
from Allah.

• After we die, there will be a day called the Day
  of Judgement. Allah will make us alive again and
  ask us about how we lived on the earth. Those
  who obeyed Allah will enter Paradise
  (Jannah) and those who disobeyed Allah will
  be sent to the Hellfire (Jahannam).

16
Destiny - Qadr

• Destiny means that Allah knows everything we are
  going to do before we do it- good or evil.
  Everything that happens in this world is part of
  Allahs plan and everything has a meaning, but we
  still have to do our part. We still have the free
  will to make choices.
