What do Muslims Believe?

Just as we have fundamental beliefs in Al-Islam, we also have five fundamental practices which we must observe. By increasing our knowledge of these fundamentals we increase our understanding of Al-Islam. These fundamental practices are the pillars upon which a Muslim’s entire Islamic life, which is based on the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad , is structured.

Qur'an 25:74-75

And those who say: "Our Lord! Bestow on us from our wives and our offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and make us leaders for the Muttaqûn." Those will be rewarded with the highest place (in Paradise) because of their patience. Therein they shall be met with greetings and the word of peace and respect.

Funeral Rites

All those who take part in the service should perform wudzu or ablution. The bier is placed in front of the congregation; the Imam stands facing the middle of the bier if it is a woman and opposite the head if it is a man, and faces the qiblah, i.e., towards Makkah. The people form themselves into lines according to the number of those who take part and face the qiblah. The general practice is to have three rows at least. If the number of people is very small, there is no harm if they form only one line.
