the Day of Judgement
the Divine Preordainment
We turned the clot into a fetus-lump, then We turned the fetus-lump into
bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh; thereafter We developed it into
another creature. So, glorious is Allah, the Best of the creators. Then, after all
this, you are to die. Then you are to be raised again on the Day of Judgment. 3
(Surah Al-Muminoon Ayat 10 15)
Tawheed Al-Asma Wa Sifaat: Meaning the Belief in All of His (Allahs) Names and
Attributes:
Allah has 99 Attributes that correspond with Allah. His names do not compare to his
creation. For example, someone may call a King, Mighty. Yes, he may be, but when you
ascribe this to Allah, his Mightiness (Al-Aziz) is different and more Majestic than the
Kings. Allah is one in a Unique Sense that no one can compare to.
3 Also In regards to when you see 'We' in the Qur'an, it doesn't mean God is more than one.
It shows how Majestic and great God is. However, you may see elsewhere that Muslims
believe in one God although I am saying (We is in the Quran), this does not mean God is
more than one - He is one and can only be one.
4 Whenever you see this (S.A.W) or (Sallahu-Alaihi-wa-Salam), it means (May Allahs Peace
and Blessing be upon him).
Of course by trials! For example, say you have good health. You are grateful to be able
to run around and do certain things. At this time, you forget about Allah who has given
you the ability to possess this. Then, (Allah Forbid) you get terribly sick to the point that
you are gasping for air. SubhanAllah - (All Glory is to Allah. How Perfect Only He is)! Now
what do you do? You want to curse those around you, you get angry quickly, and in
some trials, the person Curses his Creator. Astaghfir-Allah {Meaning, O Allah forgive
me! (but in this context it means O Allah forgive them))! Allah has tested you with an
affliction that could be seriously large in your view, but in Allahs view (which is always
better) it is a way for you to be tried to be as a reminder that Allah is your Lord who
gave you everything you have. Without Further Ado, I will tell you the Five Pillars of
Islam.
5 When Allah or his Messenger mention a brother (males), they are also referring to
sisters (or the women).
Belief in the Divine Decree: Believing that there Allah has chosen your path for you,
(both the Good and the Bad), before you were even born; if you are going to be of
those who are righteous or wretched; ultimately if you will go to Heaven or Hell.
These are a few of the basics of Islam and I hope you have a good enough
understanding of this excellent religion. Without burdening you any further I will
stop here. You can pass this on to anyone else that you think It will benefit.
