The Beliefs and Laws of Islam

The Beliefs and Laws of Islam
Stephen Bates explains the basics to non-Muslims with little previous
knowledge.
Origins Islam is the religion of allegiance to God and his prophet
Mohammed, who lived around 570-632 and came from a family of traders
at Mecca. The religion’s book of revelation, mediated by the prophet,
is the Koran. The word Islam derives from the same semitic root as the
Hebrew word Shalom, which means peace. Islam means "entering into a
condition of peace and security with God, through allegiance or
surrender to him".
Mohammed is said to have received his revelations over a period of 23
years from the Angel Jibreel, or Gabriel, who was relaying the word of
God.
It was not a completely new faith but is the third great monotheistic
religion. In Muslim eyes, Mohammed completes a succession of prophets,
including Abraham, Moses and Jesus, each of whom refined and restated
the message of God.
The Koran therefore corroborates, updates and expands the Old and New
Testaments.
It contains 114 chapters, written in vivid, rhyming prose, and was
settled in its current form within 30 years of Mohammed’s death.
Main tenets Central to Islam is the absolute sense that there can only
be one God - Allah - and that he is the source of all creation and
disposer of all lives and events. Hence, there is no God but God and
Mohammed is his messenger.
All people should become a single Umma - community - witnessing to
that fact. On the day of judgment, all will rise from the dead and be
sent to heaven or hell.
The Koran contains many moral exhortations, forming the basis of
Islamic (sharia) law. It lays down generosity and fairness and the
requirements for daily prayer, alms giving, abstinence during daylight
hours in the month of Ramadan and pilgrimage to Mecca.
The five pillars of the Islamic faith - the fundamental constituents
of Muslim life - are: · Shahada, the profession of faith in the
uniqueness of Allah and the centrality of Mohammed as his prophet ·
Salat, formal worship or prayer · Zakat, the giving of alms for the
poor, assessed on all adult Muslims as 2.5% of capital assets once a
year · Hajj, pilgrimage to Mecca, which every Muslim should undertake
at least once in their lifetime; the annual hajj takes place during
the last 10 days of the 12th lunar month every year · Sawm, fasting
during Ramadan, the holy ninth month of the lunar year.
Early history In 622, Mohammed travelled from Mecca to Medina in the
hijrah (emigration) - this forms the starting point in the Muslim
dating system.
After the prophet’s death his community split into followers of the
caliph Abu Bakr and those who supported Mohammed’s closest relative,
his son-in-law, Ali ibn Abi Talib.
This division between Shia (followers of Ali) and Sunni (followers of
the custom of the caliphate) persists to this day. Although both share
most of the customs of the religion, Shiites place more emphasis on
the guiding role of the imam.
About 90% of the world’s Muslims are Sunni and about 10% Shia.
Sharia The divine law of Islam by which Muslims should live their
lives.
It embraces every aspect of life, including family relations,
inheritance, taxation, purification and prayer and observes no
distinction between secular and religious law.
How far modern Islamic states follow this principle depends on the
degree of secularisation they permit. It is essentially laid down by
the Koran but has been updated and extended by fatwa (legal opinion),
consensus and custom.
