ISLAM
For
Muslims is heaven a place of joy and bliss, with Koranic references describing its features and
the physical plesarues to come.
The Pillars of Islam are five basic acts in Islam, considered obligatory for all believers. The
Koran presents them as a framework for worship and a sign of commitment to the faith. They
are the shahadah(creed), daily prayers, almsgiving, fasting during Ramadhan and the
pigrimage to Mecca at least once in a lifetime. Both Shia and Shunni sects agree on the
essential details for the performance of these acts. The Shahadah which is the basic creed of
Islam that must be redicted under oath with the specific statement: ,,'ashadu 'al-l ilha ill-
llhu wa 'ashadu 'anna muammadan raslu-llh", or ,,I testify that there are no deities other
than Allah alone and I testify that Muhammad is his Messenger." Muslims must repeat the
shahadah in prayer, and non-Muslims wishing to convert to Islam are requierd to recite the
creed.
