Islam teaches the importance of both belief and action. Insufficient without each other (except for some Sufis).
The following six beliefs are generally held by Muslims, as stated in the Qur'an and Hadith.
Six Major Beliefs
Belief on the Oneness of God: Muslims believe that God is that the creator of all things, which God is all-powerful and all-knowing. God has no offspring, no race, no gender, no body and is not affected by the characteristics of human life.
Belief on the Angels of God: Muslims believe angels, unseen beings who worship God and perform God's orders throughout the universe. The angel Gabriel brought the divine revelation to the prophets.
Belief on the Books of God: Muslims believe that God revealed holy books or scriptures to variety of God's messengers. These include the Quran (given to Muhammad), the Torah (given to Moses), the Gospel (given to Jesus), the Psalms (given to David), and therefore the Scrolls (given to Abraham). Muslims believe that these earlier scriptures in their original form were divinely revealed, but that only the Quran remains because it was first revealed to the prophet Muhammad.
Belief on the Prophets or Messengers of God: Muslims believe that God's guidance has been revealed to human kind through specially appointed messengers, or prophets, throughout history, beginning with the primary man, Adam, who is considered the first prophet. Twenty-five of those prophets are mentioned by name within the Quran, including Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Muslims believe that Muhammad is that the last during this line of prophets, sent for all human kind with the message of Islam.
Belief on the Day of Judgment: Muslims believe that on the Day of Judgment, humans are going to be judged for his or her actions during this life; those that followed God's guidance will be rewarded with paradise; those that rejected God's guidance are going to be punished with hell.
Belief on the Divine Decree: this text of religion addresses the question of God's Will . It are often expressed because the belief that everything is governed by divine decree, namely that whatever happens in one's life is preordained, which believers should answer the good or bad that befalls them with thankfulness or patience. This concept doesn't negate the concept of "free will;" since humans don't have prior knowledge of God's decree, they are doing have freedom of choice.
