The Basis of Islam
What is Islam?
Islam is a monotheistic religion that teaches submission to the will of God (Allah). It’s not just a religion but a way of life, covering belief, worship, ethics, and personal conduct.
Who is Allah?
Allah is the Arabic word for God. Muslims believe He is the One and only Creator, All Powerful, All Knowing, and the Most Merciful. He has no partners, children, or equals.
Who was Prophet Muhammad ﷺ?
He was the final messenger of God, sent to all of humanity. Born in Makkah in the 6th century, he delivered the message of Islam through revelation
(the Qur’an).
What are the Five Pillars of Islam?
Shahadah (Faith)
Salah (Prayer)
Zakah (Charity)
Sawm (Fasting in Ramadan)
Hajj (Pilgrimage to Makkah)
These are the foundations of Muslim worship and practice.
What is the Qur’an?
The Qur’an is the holy book of Islam, revealed in Arabic to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ over 23 years. It is believed to be the literal word of God and a guide for life.

Why Islam?

How does Islam bring peace into someone’s life?
Islam teaches trust in God’s plan, gratitude, discipline, and moral boundaries—all of which provide spiritual peace and inner stability.
Is Islam only for Arabs or people born into it?
No. Islam is for everyone, regardless of race or background. In fact, the majority of Muslims in the world today are not Arabs.
How does Islam view the purpose of life?
Islam teaches that life is a test and that our purpose is to worship God, do good, and live with meaning and accountability.
What happens after someone becomes Muslim?

Truth Calls, Fear Holds Back...
What if I’m not ready to change my whole life?
Islam is a journey. You don’t have to be perfect to start—only sincere. Change happens gradually, with God’s help and guidance.
I’m afraid of how my family or friends will react. What should I do?
It’s natural to fear rejection. Many Muslims have faced this too. But your journey is personal, and your connection with God is worth it. Support from others is available.
What if I still have doubts?
Doubts are normal. Islam encourages asking questions and seeking knowledge. Keep learning—truth stands clear when approached with sincerity.
Do I have to give up everything I enjoy?
Not at all. Islam encourages balance. Many things you love may still be allowed—and even those that aren’t are replaced with something better for your soul.
Is Islam hard to follow?
Islam is meant to be practical and merciful. God does not burden a soul more than it can bear. It's a path of ease, not hardship.
How do I know I’m making the right decision?
If your heart is drawn to the truth, that’s a sign. Islam is not just belief—it’s a deep peace. Trust the pull toward what brings you closer to your Creator.
