What do Muslims believe?

Muslims believe in the One, Unique, Incomparable, Merciful God - the Sole Creator, Sustainer and Cherisher of the Universe; in the Angels created by Him; in the prophets through whom His revelations were brought to humankind; in the Day of Judgment, and in individual accountability for actions; in God's complete authority over destiny, be it good or bad and in life after death.

Muslims believe that God sent His messengers and prophets to all people. Biblical prophets mentioned in the Qur'an include: Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Lot, Ishmael, Isaac, Job, Ezekiel, Jacob, Joseph, Jonah, Jethro, Moses, Aaron, Elijah, Elisha, David, Solomon, Zechariah, John the Baptist, and Jesus; peace be upon them all.

God's final message to humanity was revealed to the last prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him), through the Archangel Gabriel. It confirmed and finalized all previous revelations that were sent to humankind through God's messengers.

One becomes a Muslim by believing and proclaiming that, "There is no deity except God, and that Muhammad is the messenger of God." By this declaration the believer announces his or her faith in all of God's messengers, and in the scriptures revealed to them.

************************************************************************
May I suggest to the seeker of truth do the following NINE STEPS for purification of the mind:

Clean their mind, their heart and their soul real good.
Clear away all the prejudices and biases.
Read a good translation of the meaning of the Holy Quran in a language that they can understand best.
Take some time.
Read and reflect.
Think and pray.
And keep on asking the One who created you in the first place, to guide you to the truth.
Keep this up for a few months. And be regular in it.
Above all, do not let others who are poisoned in their thinking influence you while your are in this state of "rebirth of the soul."
The rest is between you and the Almighty Lord of the Universe. If you truly love Him, then He already knows it and He will deal with each of us according to our hearts.

Peace to you and Guidance from Allah the One Almighty God, Creator and Sustainer of all that exists.Muslims believe in the One, Unique, Incomparable, Merciful God - the Sole Creator,... more

Millions gather for Hajj

MAKKAH: Draped in white robes to symbolize purity and equality of mankind under God, nearly 3 million Muslims from all over the world gathered yesterday in Makkah on the eve of the start of the annual haj pilgrimage. The male pilgrims, wearing two-piece seamless white robes, and women, covered head to foot except for their hands and faces, circled the sacred Kaaba stone structure seven times inside the Grand Mosque, which Muslims face during their five daily prayers.

A pillar of the Muslim faith, the haj is packed with symbolism and ritual. Every able-bodied Muslim who can financially afford to must perform it at least once in his or her lifetime. Saudi Arabia has deployed some 100,000 security personnel to keep order during the five-day pilgrimage that starts today. Roadblocks have sprung up on all roads leading to Makkah, and police check for haj permits from Saudi nationals and for passports from pilgrims who arrived from abroad. Security is high also because the haj comes just over a week after terror attacks in Mumbai, India's financial capital, in which suspected Islamist militants killed 171 and injured more than 300 others in assaults on upscale hotels, a restaurant and other sites across the city.

Iranian pilgrim, Ismaeil Bahramian, said the pilgrimage is a crowning moment in a Muslim believer's life. "Here, there is no difference between the rich and the poor, white and black. We are all brothers and sisters," said Bahramian, at the haj for the first time, choking back emotion. "Truly, this is the original home of God. It is an honor to be a guest of God here." Several bazaars have sprung up in Makkah to cater to the needs of the pilgrims, especially in neighborhoods popular with African pilgrims, but authorities consider them illegal. Yet despite reports of police raids, the businesses continue to thrive.

The haj will begin in the early hours of today when pilgrims arrive on foot or by bus in Mina, a dusty valley 10 km from the holy city. The devotees will spend the day in prayer and contemplation in the valley, transformed into a city of fireproof tents. The haj culminates tomorrow, when the pilgrims gather on Mount Arafat, 20 km from Makkah in the desert, where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) gave his last sermon 14 centuries ago. At Mount Arafat, pilgrims offer prayers from noon to shortly after nightfall in a ritual that's interpreted as a foretaste of the Day of Judgment, when Islam says every person will stand before God and answer for his deeds.

Next, the pilgrims return to Mina to sacrifice an animal, usually a sheep, to commemorate the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son on God's orders. This ceremony marks the start of the Eid Al-Adha (feast of the sacrifice). They will spend another two days in Mina for the final rite, the stoning of Satan, which consists of each pilgrim throwing 21 pebbles at each of three pillars symbolizing the devil and is the most hazardous of the rituals. These pillars were enlarged a few years ago into 25-m high concrete blocks. Bridges have been built at three levels at the stoning site to help prevent a recurrence of the fatal stampedes. Once the stoning ceremony is over, the pilgrims go to Makkah's Great Mosque for a "farewell visit" to the Kaaba.

According to Islamic teachings, the haj is a spiritual journey that cleanses the soul and wins absolution. Just 50 years ago, the pilgrimage attracted only about 10,000 people. This year, Saudi embassies world over have issued nearly 2 million visas. Just under a million pilgrims also come to the haj from Saudi Arabia. Many others are believed to come without proper documents. Saudi Arabia takes pride in efforts to provide for the pilgrims as a way to increase its stature among the world's 1.3 billion Muslims.MAKKAH: Draped in white robes to symbolize purity and equality of mankind under God,... more
