Shahadah - Testimony of Faith
Ashaduanna Laa ilaaha Illallah Wa Ashaduanna
Muhammadur Rasoolullah
I bear witness that there is no god but Allah
and
I bear witness that Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah.
A person becomes Muslim by reciting, believing and practicing the Shahadah!
Salah - Prayer
1. Fajr - at dawn until before sunrise - 2 rakats
2. Dhuhr - noon until late afternoon - 4 rakats
3. Asr - late afternoon until sunset - 4 rakats
4. Maghrib - after sunset until dark - 3 rakats
5. Ishaa - at night until dawn - 4 rakats
Zakat - Sharing with the Needy
Every Muslim gives 2 1/2 % of their
savings each year to the poor and
needy. Our wealth belongs to Allah
and Allah will give us more if we pay
Zakat.
Saum - Fasting
We fast in the holy month of
Ramadan from dawn to sunset each
day. We do not eat or drink and avoid
bad things.
Hajj - Pilgrimage
Every Muslim who can afford it must
make the pilgrimage to the Kabah in
Mecca at least once in a lifetime.
Allah
Tawheed-The Oneness of Allah
1. Lordship- Allah is the only Creator and Sustainer.
2. Names and Attributes- We describe Allah only as He
and the Prophet(saw) did in the Quran and Sunnah.
3. Worship- We worship and ask help from only Allah.
Allah has 99 names called Asma-ul-Husna. We accept these
names, do not deny them, and do not try to explain them.
We should try to understand the significance of these names
and try to live upto them. The Proper Name of the Creator is
Allah.

Angels - Mala’ikah
Angels are the servants of Allah. They are made
from Nur-light. They never disobey Allah and are
ready to obey Allah’s commands. Angels have many
different jobs. One job of Angel Jibreel was to bring
Divine Revealation to the prophet Muhammad (saw).

Prophets of Allah-Rusulullah
Whenever we forgot the message of Allah, He sent us prophets
and messengers to teach us to worship and obey Him. Allah
sent prophets to every nation. Allah completed His Message
with Muhammad (s). Thre shall be no prophet after him. He is
the last and final of all prophets and messengers. The complete
message which Allah gave to Muhammad (s) is ISLAM. It is
the complete guidance for all humanind until the end of the
world. We will be happy and find peace if we only follow
Islam.
We know of 25 prophets mentioned in the Quran.

Books of Allah
Allah sent books to some of his prophets. The book sent
down to the last prophet was the Qur’an. The Quran tells
us about other books sent to earlier messengers. These
books were later lost or changed by their followers. The
Qur’an is the only original complete guidance from
Allah.

Day of Judgement
(Yawmul Akhir)
After we die, there will be a day called the Day
of Judgement. Allah will make us alive again
and ask us about how we lived on the
earth. Those who obeyed Allah will
enter Paradise (Jannah) and those
who disobeyed Allah will be sent to
the Hellfire (Jahannam).
Destiny - Qadr
Destiny means that Allah knows
everything we are going to do before we
do it- good or evil. Everything that
happens in this world is part of Allah’s
plan and everything has a meaning, but
we still have to do our part. We still have
the free will to make choices.

Ihsan means to worship Allah like
you see Him, but we do not see Him,
but He sees us.
