God is one, neither begets nor begotten, and His name is Allah. He is the Supreme Being.

The Koran is the literal word of Allah revealed to Prophet Muhammad to be delivered to mankind.

Following and trusting Muhammad's Sunnah is mandatory. Together with the Koran, they are the teachings that constitute Islam.

Allah Himself protects the Koran from alteration or corruption.

The universe and all that live in it are Allah's creation. He is aware of every thing that goes on within it.

Adam, the first human, was created out of mud, and Eve was created out of Adam. Humans are Allah's vicegerents on Earth.

The world will come to an end at a time only Allah knows of. On the Last Day, life will perish, then will be resurrected for judgment.

People's deeds (both good and bad) are constantly recorded. These deeds, along with the people's beliefs about God, will count toward reward in Heaven or punishment in Hell.

The Koran demands belief in the prophets before Muhammad, such as Abraham, Moses, and Jesus.

Initiating hostilities is condemned in the Koran, but defending one's property, family, faith, or land is required.
