Is to believe that there is only one Supreme, Eternal, Infinite and Unparallel entity, Allah

(God). He alone is the creator of all the universe. Quran declares "Such is God, your

Sustainer: there is no deity save Him, the Creator of everything: worship, then, Him alone

-for it is He who has everything in His care." (6:102)

Is to believe in angels. They are comprised of light, and each have different purposes. Angel Gabriel

brought the divine message to Mohammad. Two an-gels are assigned to record the actions of the human beings; one records good deeds, the other bad deeds. The angel of death takes the soul out of the body. An-

gels questions each person in grave.

It refers to believing in all the four books; the Torah (Moses), the Psalms (David), the Gospel(Jesus) and the Quran (Mohammad). Muslims also believe that all other books are alteration

with time by its followers. Muslims believe that Quran is the only book which can never be dis-torted as God has himself taken the responsibil-ity of its protection, "We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly

guard it (from corruption)." (15:9)

Is to believe in all the messengers from Adam to Muhammad without any discrimination. Quran treats all the prophets equally, "Say (O Muslims), we believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and

that which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the Prophets received from their Lord. We

make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered." (2:136)

Is to believe that after the end of the world, every human will be resurrected from the grave. They will be held accountable for whatever they have done in their lives. The day is known as the

Day of Judgment. On this day, justice will be done to every individual soul. The innocent ones will

stay in Heaven, whereas, the corrupted ones will go to hell. Quran testifies it by saying, " This day We seal up mouths, and hands speak out and feet

bear witness as to what they used to earn." (36:65)

It is one of the main aspect of Islam. Believing in divine creed refers to predestination. Muslims be-lieve that unlike living beings, God is not limited to anything; even with time. Everything that has happened, is happening, or will happen is evident

to Him. Living beings are being given a free choice to do whatever they want to do, but God knows what choice they will make. It must also be clear

that God's knowing does not restrict anyone from making a free choice.
