Islam

• Belief in GodMuslims believe in one,
  incomparable God, He has no son nor partner, and
  that one has the right to be worshipped but Him
  alone. He is the true God, and every other god is
  false. In the Qur'an, God describes Himself
• Say, He is God, the One. God, to Whom the
  creatures turn for their needs. He begets not,
  nor was He begotten, and there is none like Him.
  (Qur'an, 1121- 4)
• Belief in the AngelsMuslims believe in the
  existence of the angels and that they are honored
  creatures. The angels worship God alone, obey
  Him, and act only by His command. Among the
  angels is Gabriel, who brought down the Qur'an to
  Muhammad.Belief in Gods Revealed
  BooksMuslims believe that God revealed books to
  His messengers as proof for mankind and as
  guidance for them. Among these books is the
  Qur'an, which  God revealed to the Prophet
  Muhammad . God has guaranteed the Qur'ans
  protection from any change.Belief in the
  ProphetsMuslims believe in the prophets and
  messengers of God, starting with Adam, including
  Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and
  Jesus (peace be upon them). But Gods final
  message to man, a repeating of the eternal
  message, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad.
  Muslims believe that all the prophets and
  messengers were created human beings who had none
  of the divine qualities of God.Belief in the
  Day of JudgmentMuslims believe in the Day of
  Judgment (the Day of Resurrection) when all
  people will be resurrected for Gods judgment
  according to their beliefs and deeds.Belief in
  Al-QadarMuslims believe in Al-Qadar, which is
  Divine Predestination, but this belief in Divine
  Predestination does not mean that human beings do
  not have freewill. Rather, Muslims believe that
  God has given human beings freewill. This means
  that they can choose right or wrong and that they
  are responsible for their choices. The belief in
  Divine Predestination includes belief in four
  things 1) God knows everything. He knows what
  has happened and what will happen.2) God has
  recorded all that has happened and all that will
  happen.3) Whatever God wills to happen happens,
  and whatever He wills not to happen does not
  happen.4) God is the Creator of everything.
