Humanity is a river of light running from the ex-eternity to eternity


Kahlil Gibran


 

 

 

Islam
I Believe...

I believe that Allah is the Supreme Creator and Sustainer, all-knowing and transcendent and yet the arbiter of good and evil, the final judge of men.

I believe in the Five Pillars of Faith: 1) praying five times daily; 2) charity through alms-giving; 3) fasting during the ninth month; 4) pilgrimage to Holy Mecca, Saudi Arabia, and 5) profession of faith by acknowledging, "There is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is His Prophet."

I believe in the Koran as the Word of God and sacred scripture mediated through the Angel Gabriel to Muhammad.

I believe in the direct communion of each man with God, that all are equal in the eyes of God and therefore priests or other intercessors are unneeded.

I believe in the pure transcendence of God, great beyond imagining - no form or idol can be worshipped in His Name.

I believe that the soul of man is immortal, embodied once on earth, then entering Heaven or Hell upon death according to its conduct and faith on earth.

I believe in the Last Judgment and that man should stand in humble awe and fear of God's wrathful and vengeful power.

I believe that truthfulness should be observed in all circumstances, even though it may bring injury or pain.

I believe that salvation is only obtained through God's grace and not through man's efforts, yet man should do good and avoid all sins, especially drunkenness, usury and gambling.
