The Six Doctrines of Islam
by Grady L. Davis, M.Div., Ph.D.

The following are the basic doctrines that
every Muslim must believe no matter where he lives, or what Islamic sect
he belongs to:
1. God: There is only one true god and his name is
Allah. Allah is
all-seeing, all-knowing, and all-powerful.
2. Angels: The chief angel is Gabriel, who is said to have appeared to
Mohammad. There is also a jinn
(demon) named Shaitan
(from the Hebrew, Satan), as well as the followers of Shaitan, the
other djinni (demons).
3. Scripture: Muslims believe in four divinely-inspired
books: the Torah of Moses (what Christians call the Pentateuch), the Zabur
(Psalms of David), the Injil (Gospel) of Jesus, and the Qur’an. But the
Qur’an is Allah’s final word to mankind, so it supersedes and overrules
all previous writings.
4. Mohammad:
The Qur’an lists 28 prophets of Allah. These include Adam, Noah, Abraham,
Moses, David, Jonah, and Isa (Jesus). Of course, to the Muslim, the last and
greatest prophet is Mohammad.
5. The end times: On the “last day,” the dead will
be resurrected. Allah will be the judge and each person will be sent to
heaven or hell. Heaven is a place of sensual pleasure. Hell is for those
who oppose Allah and his prophet, Mohammad.
6. Predestination: Allah has determined what he
pleases and no no one can change what he has decreed.
