The prinipal beliefs in Islam are
1. Tawhid
2. Angels
3. Books of Allah
4. Rusul
5. Akhira
6. Fate/predestination
Tawhid simply means the oneness of God; Muslims believe the whole Islamic teachings are based on the principle of Tawhid. By following the beliefs of Allah that are stated in the Shahada to believe and gain the key to paradise. In the Tawhid God puts amongst humanity and creatures the rules, wills and laws that they must abide by to enter paradise. The word Aqida is an Arabic word-meaning creed; these are belief in Allah, belief in the prophets, belief in angels, belief in the scripture and belief in the Day of Judgment.
Prophecy is an important part of Muslim belief. It is the way he sends his messages through the prophets to the people. The Quran gives attention to the prophets who were reliable for the significant books. The scrolls given to Ibrahim are known as "Sahifa", the book discovered to Musa is known as "Tawrah", those revealed to Dawud are known as "Zabur" and the teachings given to Isa are known as "Injil".
Muslims today believe angels to be creatures of light, which exist everywhere in the universe and are always interacting with human beings, especially when a person prays or is also in connection with Allah in a conscious way. In Islam life is believed that it is divided into two parts. The first part is a temporary human life, and the second part is eternal life, which brings you to death. Basically the eternal life really matters to Muslims. The reason for that being is because they want to strive in this life doing good to be amongst those in the after life that will be in paradise for eternity. The Day of Judgment is significant to Muslims because they believe if you die before that day the angel Azra’il referred to “Malik-el-Maut” will take the souls out.
When this happens you are waiting for the Day of Judgment to come forth because there is no way to come back into life once you have reached Azra’il. Once everyone has been judged accountable to their sins you will either enter “Jannah” or “Jahanam” Jannah meaning paradise and Jahanam meaning hell-fire. From this point on the after-life is completely different to human life, all will be forgotten in the temporary life and no conditions will apply.
“In the Qur'an two Arabic terms are used to talk about prophets or messengers of Allah. The two terms are "Nabi" and "Rusul". The term Nabi is used to refer to an inspired prophet who has not been commissioned for a particular purpose and Rusul is used to describe a messenger who has been given a particular mission.”
