Justice

 After our death, we will be judged on our merits and rewarded or punished.

  The Qu'ran says, "On that day ( Day of Judgement ), men shall proceed in sorted out groups to be shown their " Book of Deeds".  Then, whoever has done an atom's worth of good shall see it there, and whoever has done an atom's weight of evil shall see it there".     Qu'ran 99:6

May Allah guide us all to do only good.

Allah's Guidance

God provides guidance to all human being.  The Qu'ran say's, " By Him who created the male and the female, surely your efforts are directed towards various ends.  So for him who gives in charity, fears Allah and testifies to goodness, We shall facilitate for him the easy way.  As for him who is stingy and considers himself independent of Allah and rejects the goodness, We shall facilitate for him the hard way.  Just consider what benefit will he get from his wealth, if he himself is doomed".                              Qu'ran  92:3

Moral Behaviour

The Qu'ran teaches human beings to follow good moral behaviour.  It says, " Woe to those who defraud, who when they take by measure from men, take full measure, but when they give by measure or by weight to others, they give less than due".                                                           Qu'ran 83:1

TheQu'ran

The Holy Book, Qu'ran was revealed by God (called Allah, by Muslims) through Angel Gabriel to Prophet Mohammad (peace be on him).  The Qu'ran states, "----surely, this word is brought by a noble Messanger, possessor of mighty power, having very high ranks with the Owner of the Throne (Allah), who is obeyed in heaven and is trustworthy".                                                                                        81: 19

Further, "This (the Qu;ran) is but a reminder to all the people of the worlds".   81:27

Purpose of Creation

We, as humans have been given the right to follow the path we choose, however guidance is explicitly provided in the Qu'ran.  God says,"Indeed We have created man from a sperm drop, so that We may test him.  We gave him the faculties of hearing and sight.  Then We guided him to the right way.  Now it is his choice to be grateful or to be a disbeliever"  ( Qu'ran 76:2).

People who follow the right path will be rewarded, but those who do not will be punished in Hell. May God (called Allah by Muslims) guide us to the right path. 

Introduction

"I am a muslim woman and I am not a terrorist". What a way to start an introduction? But this is a subject that has concerned me for so long and so deeply, that I want to get directly to what I want to share. As an American muslim living in a America for the last thirty six years, I feel it is my responsibility to make my fellow Americans understand what my religion, Islam is, and also to clearly emphasize that a muslim does not believe in terrorism.

A muslim believes in:

1. One God.

2. Prophet Mohammed (peace be on him) as the prophet of God.

3. The Day of Resurrection.
