✨ The prophet peace and blessings be upon him said:
*”Anybody who believes in Allah and the Judgment Day should not harm his neighbor, and anybody who believes in Allah and the judgment Day should entertain his guest generously and anybody who believes in Allah and the judgment Day should talk what is good or keep quiet”*
✨ Islam gives neighborhood great respect, and even it makes treating neighbors well as an indication of one’s complete faith.
✨ Islam sets a number of rules concerning this subject and grants neighbors many rights to be rendered. Among these rights are:
🔸 To help the neighbor if he asks for help . 🔸 To lend him money when in need. 🔸 To remove his deficiency. 🔸 To visit him when he is ill. 🔸 To congratulate him on happy occasions. 🔸 To offer him your condolences on unhappy occasions. 🔸 To escort the deceased neighbor to his final resting place. 🔸 To give him from your food as a present. 🔸 To raise not your building so as to prevent him air. 🔸 To know that ” the best neighbor is one who behaves best towards his neighbors.”
The Prophet said: *”He will not enter Paradise whose neighbor is not secure from his wrongful conduct.”*
Moaz ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said :
“O moaz, by Allah! *I love you* . I advise you, O moaz, never fail to say after every prayer: [ *O Allah, help me remember You, expressing gratitude towards You, and worship You in the best manner* .]
Islam is purely monotheistic. We believe in the One True God, the God of Abraham (Allah, an Arabic word meaning, the God) and we worship Him alone. We do not believe in a Trinity as many of Christian do, rather we believe that God is One and has no son and there are none like Him nor equal to Him
We believe God has communicated with us through His prophets. We accept all the prophets God has sent, Adam was the first and Muhammad is the last and final prophet. We share many of the same prophets with the Christian and Jewish , such as Abraham, Noah, Moses, Jonah, etc.
We also believe in Jesus, that he was sent as a righteous prophet of God to the nation of Israel. We accept him as the messiah, we believe he performed many miracles by the power of God, we believe in the virgin birth, and we believe he will return again.
Unlike many of Christians, we do not believe Jesus was divine in any way, nor do we believe that Jesus died on a cross to expiate the sins of the world.
Islam is beautifully simplistic, it is the interaction between the individual and His Creator, there are no mediators in between. Therefore, when we sin, we believe that if we approach Allah directly in repentance, He will forgive us if we have left the sin and are sincere.
We have several other core beliefs. We believe in the Holy books God has given us. He gave the Torah to Moses, the Psalms to David, the Gospel to Jesus (though not the Christian Gospel nowadays) and the Quran to Muhammad. We believe in the angels, we believe that everything happens according to the will of God, and we believe in the Last Day, that is, the day in which every person will stand before His Creator.
We Muslims practice our faith according to the five pillars of Islam. The five pillars are: The shahadah, prayer, charity, fasting, and pilgrimage. The shahadah(a simple formula which should be said with conviction in order to convert to Islam)is a simple profession of faith in the One True God, the God of Abraham, and the belief that Muhammad is His prophet and messenger.
