A Continuation of the Apologetic
ISLAMIC
BELIEFS |
| GOD |
One sovereign Lord, transcendent, cannot be known |
| JESUS |
A prophet like Muhammad. Virgin-born. Not crucified, not God's
Son. |
| SACRED TEXT |
Qur'an (Koran). Secondary, Hadith (sayings and Deeds of
Muhammad). The Bible is corrupt and unreliable. |
| RESURRECTION |
Humans are fallible, fickle, and need guidance, not salvation.
Rewards and punishment decided by God, based on human works and divine mercy.
Eternal hell awaits those who reject Islam or do not live according to the light they
have. Those who are saved will live forever in Paradise. Hell and heaven will be
experienced in resurrected, physical bodies. |
| OBSERVANCES |
Pray five time daily. Fast during month of Ramadan. Share
wealth with the needy. Pilgrimage to Mecca
once in life. |
