You have a good understanding of the central beliefs of Islam. However, there are a few points that need clarification.
The central beliefs of Islam, also known as the "Six Articles of Faith," are as follows:
1. Belief in Allah as the one and only God.
2. Belief in angels as spiritual beings created by Allah.
3. Belief in the holy books, including the Quran as the final revelation from Allah.
4. Belief in the Prophets, including Prophet Muhammad as the final and last messenger of Allah.
5. Belief in the Day of Judgement, where all humans will be held accountable for their actions.
6. Belief in predestination, where Allah has decreed all things that will happen.
These beliefs are reflected in the Five Pillars of Islam, which are the core religious duties that Muslims are obligated to perform:
1. Shahada (Testimony of Faith): Muslims publicly declare their belief in the oneness of Allah, and the prophet-hood of Muhammad.
2. Salah (Prayer): Muslims perform five daily prayers, facing towards the Kaaba in Mecca. This reflects the belief in the importance of maintaining a direct connection with Allah and seeking guidance and forgiveness.
3. Zakat (Charity): Muslims are required to give a certain percentage from their wealth to help those in need. This reflects the belief in the importance of compassion, generosity, and social welfare.
4. Sawm (Fasting): Muslims fast from dawn to sunset during the holy month of Ramadan. This reflects the belief in self-discipline, humility, and empathy towards those who are less fortunate.
5. Hajj (Pilgrimage): Muslims who are physically and financially able must make a pilgrimage to the city of Mecca at least once in their lifetime. This reflects the belief in unity, equality, and the ultimate submission to Allah.
By fulfilling these Five Pillars, Muslims put their faith into action and demonstrate their commitment to the central beliefs of Islam.
Your explanation is mostly correct. The central beliefs of Islam, also known as the Six Articles of Faith, include belief in:
1. Tawhid: the oneness of Allah as the one and only God.
2. Malaika: angels as spiritual beings created by Allah.
3. Kutubullah: the holy books, including the Qur'an, as revelations from Allah.
4. Rusul: the prophets, including Prophet Muhammad, as messengers of Allah.
5. Al-Qiyamah: the Day of Judgement and the afterlife.
6. Al-Qadr: predestination, the belief that everything happens according to Allah's divine plan.
These beliefs are indeed reflected in the Five Pillars of Islam, which are the basic obligations and practices that all Muslims are expected to follow:
1. Shahada: the declaration of faith, which reflects the belief in Tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and the acceptance of Muhammad as the final Prophet.
2. Salah: the five daily prayers, which reflect the belief in the importance of prayer and establishing a direct connection with Allah.
3. Zakah: giving to charity, which reflects the belief in helping the poor and needy as a means of purifying wealth and showing compassion.
4. Sawm: fasting during the month of Ramadan, which reflects the belief in self-discipline, empathy with the less fortunate, and spiritual purification.
5. Hajj: the pilgrimage to Mecca, which is required for those who are physically and financially able, and reflects the belief in the unity of the Muslim community, as well as the acceptance and fulfillment of the fifth pillar.
By observing these Five Pillars, Muslims are not only practicing their faith but also manifesting their core beliefs in Allah, angels, divine revelations, prophets, the afterlife, and the concept of predestination.
