The core belief in Islam is that there is only one God, Allah.
Muslims believe in Angels, and that they are messengers of God. They
do not have free will, and that it is their duty to communicate
revelations from God, record every action a Muslim takes, and take an
individual's soul at the time of his death. Most Muslims believe that
Angels will eventually die.
The World of the Jinn. In Islam, there are no fallen Angels. Rather,
God created the Jinn, to have free will and live unseen in a spiritual
world parallel to mankind. They can marry, have children, and have a
longer lifespan than humans, but will eventually die. God created the
Jinn to worship Him, just like He created mankind to do as well. The
most famous Jinn, is in fact Satan.
Muslims believe in the Prophets. The Prophet Muhammad said, God sent
messengers and prophets to all the nations in the world, with one
central message, believe in the one true God. Islam believes in the
Hebrew Prophets, such as Abraham and Moses.
The Five Pillars of Islam. Considered to be mandatory beliefs,
and are the foundation for every Muslim life. The first pillar of
Islam, Shahadah, is the profession of faith. The second pillar, Salah,
which is prayer. Third, is Zakat, which means almsgiving. Fourth, Sawm,
fasting during the holy month of Ramadan. And lastly, the fifth pillar
of Islam, is Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca.
Islam holds the Quran to be the holy book for their teaching.
