id=\"Understanding_the_Core_Beliefs_of_Islam\"><\/span>Understanding the Core Beliefs of Islam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As Frenklen, an expert with 15 years of experience in religious studies, I have dedicated my career to understanding and explaining the intricacies of various faiths. Today, I&#8217;ll share my insights on the fundamental beliefs of Islam, one of the world&#8217;s major religions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Islam, which means &#8220;submission to God&#8221; in Arabic, is a monotheistic faith founded in the 7th century CE. It&#8217;s based on the teachings of Prophet Muhammad and the holy book, the Quran. Let&#8217;s delve into the core beliefs that shape this religion and guide its followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Oneness_of_God_Tawhid\"><\/span>The Oneness of God (Tawhid)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most fundamental belief in Islam is the concept of Tawhid, or the oneness of God. Muslims believe in one, unique, indivisible God, known as Allah in Arabic. This belief is the cornerstone of Islamic faith and shapes all aspects of a Muslim&#8217;s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Yasir Qadhi, a renowned Islamic scholar, explains: &#8220;Tawhid is not just a theological concept, but a lived reality for Muslims. It influences how they view the world, their place in it, and their relationship with the divine.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prophets_and_Messengers\"><\/span>Prophets and Messengers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Muslims believe that God has sent numerous prophets throughout history to guide humanity. These include figures recognized in Judaism and <a href=\"https:\/\/whatreligionisinfo.com\/is-christianity-the-true-religion\/\">Christianity<\/a>, such as Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. However, Muslims regard Muhammad as the final prophet, bringing the last and most complete revelation from God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Holy_Quran\"><\/span>The Holy Quran<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Quran is considered the literal word of God, revealed to Prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel over a period of 23 years. Muslims believe it to be the final divine revelation, preserved in its original form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Ingrid Mattson, an expert in Islamic studies, notes: &#8220;The Quran serves not only as a source of spiritual guidance but also as a blueprint for social and moral conduct in Muslim societies.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Angels\"><\/span>Angels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Belief in angels is another core tenet of Islam. Angels are seen as spiritual beings created by God to carry out His commands. The most prominent angel in Islamic tradition is Gabriel, who delivered divine revelations to prophets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_of_Judgment\"><\/span>Day of Judgment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Islam teaches that there will be a Day of Judgment when all individuals will be held accountable for their actions in this life. This belief encourages ethical behavior and personal responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Divine_Decree_Qadar\"><\/span>Divine Decree (Qadar)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Muslims believe in the concept of divine decree, or Qadar. This involves the belief that God has knowledge of all things and that everything happens according to His will and knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Five_Pillars_of_Islam\"><\/span>The Five Pillars of Islam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Five Pillars of Islam are the fundamental practices that every Muslim is expected to fulfill. These pillars provide a framework for Muslim life and worship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Declaration_of_Faith_Shahada\"><\/span>1. Declaration of Faith (Shahada)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Shahada is the basic statement of the Islamic faith: &#8220;There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His messenger.&#8221; Reciting this with conviction marks one&#8217;s entry into the Islamic faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Prayer_Salah\"><\/span>2. Prayer (Salah)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Muslims are required to pray five times a day at specified times. These prayers involve physical movements and recitations from the Quran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Charity_Zakat\"><\/span>3. Charity (Zakat)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Zakat is an obligatory form of charitable giving, typically 2.5% of one&#8217;s wealth annually. It&#8217;s seen as a way to purify wealth and help those in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Fasting_Sawm\"><\/span>4. Fasting (Sawm)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During the holy month of Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to sunset. This practice is seen as a way to purify the soul and increase empathy for those less fortunate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Pilgrimage_Hajj\"><\/span>5. Pilgrimage (Hajj)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Muslims who are physically and financially able are required to make a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in their lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Islamic_Practices_and_Daily_Life\"><\/span>Islamic Practices and Daily Life<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Islam is not just a set of beliefs but a way of life that influences every aspect of a Muslim&#8217;s daily existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dietary_Laws\"><\/span>Dietary Laws<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Islamic dietary laws prohibit the consumption of pork and alcohol. Meat must be prepared according to Islamic guidelines (halal) to be permissible for consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Modesty\"><\/span>Modesty<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many Muslims practice modesty in dress and behavior. For some, this includes wearing hijab (head covering) for women or growing a beard for men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Family_Life\"><\/span>Family Life<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Islam places great emphasis on family values and responsibilities. Marriage is highly encouraged, and there are specific guidelines for family relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Case_Studies_on_Islamic_Beliefs_and_Practices\"><\/span>Case Studies on Islamic Beliefs and Practices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Case_Study_1_Impact_of_Islamic_Beliefs_on_Mental_Health\"><\/span>Case Study 1: Impact of Islamic Beliefs on Mental Health<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A 2021 study published in the Journal of Religion and Health examined the relationship between Islamic beliefs and mental health outcomes among Muslim immigrants in the <a href=\"https:\/\/whatreligionisinfo.com\/what-religion-in-america\/\">United States<\/a>.
