Five Basic Muslim Beliefs

Muslims have five main beliefs. All are equal in importance. The are the belief in:

1. God- the creator and ruler of all things. He possess perfect qualities.
2. Angels- unseen beings whose job it is to worship and obey God by inspiring each person to do good with their lives.
3. Books of God- holy scriptures given to humankind by God which give guidance on how men should live and behave.
4. Prophets and Messengers of God- people who God sent to teach others humans how to live in virtue and according to Him.
5. Life After Death/The Day of Judgment- Muslims believe that after they die there will be a Day of Judgment where each person will recognize all the good

I never realized how pretty much all religions break their main ideas down into only a few categories. The Day of Judgement is so cool to me. You will finally be recognized for all the things you have done in your life. We all need to be recognized at some point.

After reading this blog I now understand the Muslim beliefs much better. I never knew that a religion could break their core beliefs in only 5 categories and have them pertain to all of life. My favorite part is that the muslims believe that God is perfect and everyone should live by him.
