Belief in \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 (Almighty God): \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 (Almighty God), the Creator, Sustainer of the universe. \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 is unique in his qualities, entities, and oneness. \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 is one, only, supreme, and merciful. \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 has no partners, children, or associates. The concept of \u0627\u0644\u062a\u0651\u064e\u0648\u0652\u062d\u0650\u064a\u0652\u062f (Monotheism) is central to Islamic theology, emphasizing the oneness and uniqueness of \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 (Almighty God). \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 is omniscient and omnipotent; He has created, nourishing all creatures.<br \/><br \/>2. Belief in the Prophets (\u0623\u064e\u0646\u0652\u0628\u0650\u064a\u064e\u0627\u0621): There has been a long chain of Prophets sent by \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 (Almighty God) to guide humanity. They include such figures as \u0622\u062f\u064e\u0645 (Adam), \u0646\u064f\u0648\u0652\u062d (Noah), \u0625\u0650\u0628\u0652\u0631\u0627\u0647\u0650\u064a\u0652\u0645 (Abraham), \u0645\u064f\u0648\u0652\u0633\u0670\u0649 (Moses), \u0639\u0650\u064a\u0652\u0633\u0670\u0649 (Jesus), and finally, \u0645\u064f\u062d\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0651\u062f (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)). Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is the last of them.<br \/><br \/>3. Belief in the Holy Books (\u0643\u064f\u062a\u064f\u0628): \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647(Almighty God) has revealed many books to His prophets: Torah, Psalms, Gospel, and finally, \u0642\u064f\u0631\u0652\u0622\u0646 (The Quran). The Quran is the central religious text of Islam, which is the verbatim word of \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 (Almighty God) as revealed to Muhammad (Peace be upon him) over 23 years. Written in Arabic, it consists of 114 chapters and over 6,000 verses. It guides every aspect of human life and is supplemented by the Hadith, which are the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him).<br \/><br \/>4. Belief in the Angels (\u0645\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627\u0626\u0650\u0643\u064e\u0629): These are the unseen spiritual beings created by \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 (Almighty God) to perform His missions, including the delivery of various revelations to the Prophets, recording of human deeds, and administering divine will.<br \/><br \/>5. Belief in the Day of Judgment (\u064a\u064e\u0648\u0652\u0645\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0642\u0650\u064a\u064e\u0627\u0645\u064e\u0629): The Final Day on which all men and women will be raised up and caused to stand before God to answer for their actions. This instills in a person moral responsibility with an urgency about it.<br \/><br \/>6. Predestination (\u0642\u064e\u062f\u0652\u0631\u0652): \u0642\u064e\u062f\u0652\u0631\u0652 is the Divine Decree. This includes the assumption that \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 preordains all events; however, humans are free to make their own decisions. These core beliefs form the worldview and spiritual orientation of a Muslim, guiding his actions and attitudes in life. They furnish him with an inclusive frame to apprehend the purpose of life and the state of existence.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-77d3abc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"77d3abc\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"aux-parallax-section elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e00e05e\" data-id=\"e00e05e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-550331c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"550331c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Pillars of Islam:<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dcb2f5b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dcb2f5b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Five Pillars of Islam (\u0623\u064e\u0631\u0652\u0643\u064e\u0627\u0646\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0625\u0650\u0633\u0652\u0644\u064e\u0627\u0645) are the structure of a Muslim&#8217;s life:<\/p><p>1. \u0634\u064e\u0647\u064e\u0627\u062f\u064e\u0629 (The declaration of faith): Stating, &#8220;There is no divinity except \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 (Almighty God), and Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is the Messenger of \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647.&#8221;<\/p><p>2. \u0635\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627\u0629 (Prayers): The observation of the five daily prayers.<\/p><p>3. \u0632\u064e\u0643\u064e\u0627\u0629 (Charity): The giving of alms to the needy, which is an obligatory charity that every adult, sane, and free Muslim must pay.<\/p><p>4. \u0635\u064e\u0648\u0652\u0645 (Fasting): Abstinence during the month of \u0631\u0645\u0636\u0627\u0646 (Ramadan) from dawn to sunset.<\/p><p>5. \u062d\u064e\u062c\u0651 (Pilgrimage): Pilgrimage to \u0645\u0643\u0651\u0629, which is obligatory for every Muslim and must be performed at most minor.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d9c2c6f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d9c2c6f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"aux-parallax-section elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-268e7e5\" data-id=\"268e7e5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a8548a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2a8548a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">\u0634\u064e\u0631\u0650\u064a\u0652\u0639\u064e\u0629 (The Divine Law):<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce10eb4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ce10eb4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u0634\u064e\u0631\u0650\u064a\u0652\u0639\u064e\u0629 (The Divine Law) is the moral and legal code of Islam, derived from the \u0642\u064f\u0631\u0652\u0622\u0646 and \u062d\u064e\u062f\u0650\u064a\u0652\u062b.
