What are the core beliefs of Muslims?

Question

I ask this question in this section because I am Israeli and I live in Israel. What is your purpose here?

Answer 1

Shay makes Islam sound pretty good.  Shame you never hear from that crowd.

It still leaves me wondering about the 116 verses of violence to unbelievers, that doesn't require adding anything to them.

Answer 2

peace is the soul of Islam.

GOD(Allah)only one.not more .

Mohamed is messenger and prophet.

To be Muslim you must to belief and accept the previous religions and their prophets.

Pray  to GOD 5 times  a day in stated time.

pay to poor people if you have money(what called Zakah).

fast one month every year(day of Ramadan).

visit HOLY mosque in Maka in Saudi Arabia.one time in whole Muslim life.

but under above lines you found CONSUMMATE STATUTE control and regulate the relation between Muslims and other in accurate system.

-control and regulate  Muslim life.

but i am sorry to say Islam as STATUTE inside steal safe.

blessing and warm love to MISS .Miche

Answer 3

Now you mixing politics with religion.

Answer 4

Take a look at the following verses, which are taken from Islamic Holy Books.

1.  Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks.  47:4

2.  Believers ...  shall fight in the way of Allah and shall slay and be slain.  It is a promise which is binding on Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Quran.  9:111

3.  Slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush.  9:5

4.  They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them).  So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them.  4:89

5.  Slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out ...  if they attack you (there) then slay them.  Such is the reward of disbelievers.  2:191

I shall not comment on the fact that this is found in the holy book of a certain.  I would not have thought so either.  

Because certain Muslims choose not to follow these verses, doesn't make the religion peaceful, it only makes those followers peaceful.  The religion itself is still a violent one.  So you will forgive me, if I do not see the greatness of a violent religion which cites a pedophile as their prophet.

.

Answer 5

That GOD is unique and Moises, Jesus and Mohammad (PBUT) are the messengers of GOD, 5 times Prayers a day, fasting Ramadan, Donating to poor people (zakat) and finally pilgrimage (if you can).

Answer 6

Let me see....rape little girls, kill the infidels, take by force, and be unpeaceful.  In general this is what the hard core devotion muslim would believe..mind you, they are proud of it too.  

When the Lord said, Thou shall not murder, Mo changed it.

Answer 7

Great question !

UNLIKE Christianity and Judaism, the main purpose of Islam is to put on earth the word of god.

in Christianity and Judaism we wait for a messiah. meanwhile we have to prove that we are good. they are nothing like this.

you can say more about the core beliefs of the Muslims, like the way they see women and everything but the above all, the idea of Islam is enforcing god's will on earth.

that has an effect on the mentality on the Muslims and it led them in the past into great atrocities against non Muslims. today, it leads them to an extreme way of thinking.

please don't confuse what I write with the case of Israel, not only the Palestinians are Muslims. the case of Israel has also national and territorial issues, it's not a war - expansion of a religion, like in the past.

Answer 8

Ms Miche,

WAIT

Do not  thumb me down before you read my answer.

In the beginning, "Since I am a Rabbi", I was going to ask you to put this question in the Ramadan Section

But since it is going to reported any way and may be removed, I do not see a reason for bothering you with such request.

I read a lot about Islam and take my word for what I am going to tell you:

1- Forget about those trolls and fanatics who are shouting  Jihad, Jihad and then they kill or bomb innocent people. These  do not know about the spirit of Islam.

2- Islam is  a direct relation between you and GOD. There is no room for Rabbis and Priests or other beneficiaries  in Islam. Those Mullahs or whatever are an invention to control. (same as in other religions)

3- Islam took the best of Judaism and Christianity and put it in one book, Quarn.

To be continued.

Answer 9

God is one !

Jesus is a prophet ,and not the sun of  God !

Muhammad is the last prophet !

Answer 10

There is no God but Allah, and prophet Mohammad (pbuh) is his messenger. This is the core belief of the Muslims, without this belief one cannot be a Muslim.

Answer 12

Howdy Ms. Miche, The essential element of Islam is that it is The Final Revelation from the Creator..Superseding all other Religions, (because man has corrupted them and 'altered their Books') making Islam the 'Only True' Religion. Islam claims that no Revelation from the Creator will be forthcoming, and failure to embrace the '5 Pillars' will result in torment 'in the grave' (which lasts until the end of the Universe), on 'Judgment Day' (which lasts for 50,000 years), and then more serious 'punishment' in h**l for Eternity. There is a 'get out of h**l'  clause for some of the less grievous perpetrators..but only after an 'unknown interval' of very radical 'punishments'...At the CORE..The Muslim contention that they are the only 'Ones' with the Truth is simply arrogant, and dangerous.

Answer 13

Sorry, but obviously some of you asked for this and what does the Jewish Talmud say

Answer 14

There is no official creed to which one must adhere to be considered a Muslim. All that is required is to believe and recite the Shahada: "There is no God but God, and Muhammad is his Prophet." Beyond this core belief, however, Muslim doctrine is often summarized in "Six Articles of Faith." Many Muslims believe that one must adhere to the six articles to be considered a Muslim.

The Six Articles of Faith - in depth

There are six Articles of Faith in Islam. These basic beliefs shape the Islamic way of life.

  

1- Belief in the Oneness of God:

There is One God, Supreme and Eternal, Creator and Provider, Who is Merciful and Compassionate. God has neither father nor mother, and no sons or daughters. God has never fathered anyone, nor was He fathered. God has no equals. He is God of all humankind, not of a special tribe, race, or group of people. He is the God of all races and colours, of believers and unbelievers alike. God is Mighty and Supreme, yet is also very near to pious, thoughtful believers, answering their prayers and helping them. God asks us to know Him, to love Him, and to follow His Law, for our own benefit and salvation.



    

  

2- Belief in the Angels of God

Angels are pure and spiritually obedient beings, created by God to fulfill His commands and worship Him tirelessly.



    

  

3- Belief in the Revelations (Books) of God

Muslims believe in the Revelations sent by Almighty God to His Prophets and Messengers including the Qur'an, the Torah, the Gospel, the Scrolls of Abraham and the Psalms of David.



    

  

4- Belief in the Prophets of God

All Messengers and Prophets of God such as Noah, Moses, Solomon, Jesus and Muhammad were mortal human beings endowed with Divine Revelations and appointed by God to teach humankind how to submit to His will and obey His Laws.



    

  

5- Belief in Resurrection after Death and Day of Judgment

After the world ends, Muslims believe that all people who have died will be brought back to life (or, resurrected) in order to face the Judgment rendered to each of them by Almighty God. Muslims believe in an appointed Day of Judgment and in Heaven and h**l.



    

  

6- Belief in Premeasurement (Qadar)

Muslims believe that Almighty God has knowledge of, and control over, everything that exists in all time and space.

Answer 15

from some people answers I feel that I don't need to explain any further as it is clear that they have established the difference between what the media has made of Muslims and what the HOLY QURAN has made of them, however there are a few people who are clearly illiterate and believe every thing they hear, and there are some who have pushed the limit and started putting verses of the HOLY QURAN and interpreting it in there on way. I just want to make something clear yes JIHAD has been mentioned in the HOLY QURAN "shock horror" but the thing is that the Arabic Lang is very complicated and that just by adding a character or adding a word before or after it could change the meaning of the word so every verse that say JIHAD does not necessarily mean what you guys think.

there could be JIHAD in looking after your children or JIHAD in education, but in many verses JIHAD is related to fighting, and ISLAMIC fighting has it principles for instance trees are not allowed to be cut, women and children are not allowed to be harmed basically any thing that can have a long term effect on that nation or any thing beyond just defending your self is HARAM = FORBEDED  

It means fight AND ONLY fight back the enemy that comes to your land and tries to take you out of it by harming your wife and children and burning your olive trees and causing great economical disasters.

And has not any one thought of the fact that those stupid idiots who blow then selves up are just a bunch of psychos ??? I am more the 10000 % sure that some one  is promoting these people because they want to achieve some sort of political benefits behind damaging the image of Islam, mainly…..some one comes along thinking they want to spoil the image of Islam so they pay some psycho to blow him self and say they did it in the sake of Islam, or even those kidnappings its not true they just get a bunch of people cover there faces and act as if there killing some one and say a few verses of the HOLY QURAN and say ALLAH people watch it and think what the f**k  are these Muslims doing??? Not true that is not ISLAM NOOOOOOT ISLAM, Islam is as Rabbi said:  Islam took the best of Judaism and Christianity and put it in one book, the  Quarn.

Answer 16

Apparently this must be a core belief, as it is pervasive in Islam.

Answer 17

All religions have the same core beliefs of peace and love, sadly not many people follow their religion. Peace.

Answer 18

That's funny Annt ...., last time I checked your ''Prophet'' said this in your ''holy'' book:

"They warred against Midian, as YAHWEH commanded Moses, and killed every male. They killed the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain ... and they also slew Balaam the son of Beor with the sword. And the people of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and they took as booty all their cattle, their flocks, and all their goods. All their cities in the places where they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burned with fire ... Moses was enraged ... 'So you spared the women ... kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has had sexual intercourse with a man but keep the virgins for yourselves ... divide them up evenly.'" (Numbers Chapter 31 verse 7)

Judges 21:10-24:

10And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children.

11And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man.

12And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.

who's the pedophile again...?

Answer 19

Informed Christians that have read any part of the Quran know they are bound to Ala to kill or enslave Jews and Christians. They are infidels as they do not believe in the profit Mohammad. They beat them for naming a teddy bear Mohammad and unless Muslims call Islam a false religion they must by all that is holy in the Quran kill Christians. If they deny that they deny the Quran and Mohammad.

That is why they act differently towards you as your secret is out.

ANNOUNCE PAINFUL PUNISHMENT TO THOSE WHO DISBELIEVE (9:3)

O Prophet! urge the believers to war; if there are twenty patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred... (8:65)

Surely the vilest of animals in Allah's sight are those who disbelieve (8:55)

When the sacred months have passed away, THEN SLAY THE IDOLATERS WHEREVER YOU FIND THEM, AND TAKE THEM CAPTIVES AND BESIEGE THEM AND LIE IN WAIT FOR THEM IN EVERY AMBUSH, then if they repent and keep up prayer [become believers] and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them (9:5)

And if they intend to act unfaithfully towards you, so indeed

they acted unfaithfully towards Allah before, but He GAVE YOU MASTERY OVER THEM (8:71)

Answer 20

TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD...just as they are doing with the Y-A Israel Travel Section!
