First of All I like to tell you'll about the Basic Introduction of Islam
What is Islam? : The name of the religion is Islam, which comes from an Arabic root word meaning "peace" and "submission." Islam teaches that one can only find peace in one's life by submitting to Almighty God (Allah) in heart, soul and deed. The same Arabic root word gives us "Assalaamu Alaikum" ("Peace be with you"), the universal Muslims greeting.
Who is Allah? : Allah is the proper name for Almighty God, and is often translated merely as "God." Allah has other 99 names that are used to describe His characteristics: the Creator, the Sustainer, the Merciful, the Compassionate, etc. Muslims believe that since Allah alone is the Creator & He had no Start also He has no End. It is He alone that deserves our devout love and worship. Islam holds to a strict Religion. Any worship and prayers directed at saints, prophets, other human beings or nature is considered idolatry.
Who is a Muslim? : A person who believes in and follows the Almighty Allah & his Messenger Prophet, is called a Muslim, also from the same root word. So, the religion is called "Islam" and a person who believes in and follows it is a "Muslim."
What do Muslims believe about? The basic beliefs of Muslims fall into six main categories :
~ Faith in the unity of God
~ Faith in angels
~ Faith in books of revelation
~ Faith in prophets
~ Faith in an afterlife
~ Faith in destiny/divine decree
The "five pillars" of Islam : In Islam, faith and good works go hand-in-hand. A mere verbal declaration of faith is not enough, for belief in Allah makes obedience to Him a duty.
The Muslim concept of worship is very broad. Muslims consider everything they do in life to be an act of worship, if it is done according to Allah's guidance. There are also five formal acts of worship which help strengthen a Muslim's faith and obedience. They are often called the "Five Pillars of Islam."
~ Testimony of Faith (Kalima) - Fundamental to a Muslim's spiritual life is the declaration of faith (shahaadah). The deeper meaning of the declaration: "There is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is the messenger of Allah."
~ Prayer (Salat) - Muslims pray at least five times a day. Prayer helps the muslims to improve their self-restraint, discipline, sacrifice, patience, brotherhood, generosity, and humility. During prayer in particular, Muslims humble themselves before God.
~ Alms giving (Zakat) - Muslims give a small percentage of their annual savings as alms or charity, called zakat.
~ Fasting (Sawm) - Every year, Muslims spend one entire month in daytime fasting.
Muslims are called upon to use this month to re-evaluate their lives in light
of islamic guidance. We are to make peace with those who have wronged
us, strengthen ties with family and friends, do away with bad habits essentially
to clean up our lives, our thoughts, and our feelings. The Arabic word for
"fasting" literally means "to refrain" - and it means not only refraining from
food and drink, but from evil actions, thoughts, and words. During Ramadan,
every part of the body must be restrained.
~ Pilgrimage (Hajj) - Every year, millions of Muslims from around the world make the journey to
Mecca, Saudi Arabia, for the annual pilgrimage (or Hajj). Dressed in the same
simple white clothing to represent human equality.
Daily life as a Muslim: While often seen as a radical or extreme religion, Muslims consider Islam to be the middle road. Muslims do not live life with complete disregard for God or religious matters, but nor do they neglect the world to devote themselves solely to worship and prayer. Muslims strike a balance by fulfilling the obligations of and enjoying this life, while always mindful of their duties to Allah and to others. Morals and manners
~ Business ethics
~ Modesty in dress and behavior
~ Dietary rules
~ Marriage
~ Care of children and elderly
~ Racism and prejudice
~ Relations with non-Muslims
