And He will raise them once again on the day of judgement to take them to account of their actions of this life.

Islam is to believe that Allah has sent down books to the Prophets like the Torah, the Gospel, the Psalms and the last being the Qur'an which He sent down to Muhammad Peasce be Upon him. All these books command to worship Allah alone with no partners. These books were faced with alternation due to the extensive length of time. This was done by the enemies of the religion who consume the money of the people by deception. Except the Qu'ran which was sent down to the Prophet Muhammad. It has been completely preserved within the chests of men, women, and children. Allah has made it a miracle for mankind and has taken it upon Himself to protect it from any kind of loss or alteration. Moreover, Allah has made the Qur'an dominate over the previous books. And it consists of various scientific facts which make the leading figures of modern science wetness its challenge.

The Message was to worship Allah alone with no partners, to follow the Messengers and to leave off any sort of worship to other than Allah. From the Prophets are Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and the last of them, Muhammad, the seal of all Prophets. The muslim is not considered a true muslim unless he honors and belives in all Allah's Messangers.

Islam is to believe that everything which happens in this universe is from the decree of Allah, and that He has already written it before it takes place.

The mistakes which some Muslims make do not represent Islam, but they represent those who commit them.

Islam commands to be in constant repentance to Allah. Anyone who commits a sin, then regrets what he has done, afterwards intends never to return to it, and asks Allah for His forgiveness, Allah will forgive him. No one can come between him and his repentance to stop it from reaching Allah. Because this repentance between him and Allah, the One who sees him, hears him, and knows what is in his heart.

Islam encourages using any modern means that can assist and simplify the lives and livelihood of people (which stay within the restrictions of Islam).

Islam has plain simple rulings. Furthermore, for every act of worship there is evidence which a Muslim follows. Islam is not from the inspiration of a human; rather it is from Allah, and all of mankind must submit to it.

Islam commands for the Pilgrimage to be fulfilled once in a life-time for the one who is able to do it. The Pilgrimage consists of traveling to Makkah, and performing specific actions following the example of Abraham, and Muhammad. By this way,all the Prophets of Allah have performed Hajj.

These ways of the Prophet have been recorded in authentic Hadith (prophetic traditions) which are reported by the scholars of Hadith, like Bukhari, Muslim, and others. Islam does not follow acts of innovations and falsehood that are unacceptable to neither one's mind nor religion.

However, it prevents circling round cemeteries or slaughtering animals there or praying to the dead and asking them to fulfill their demands.
