Basic Tenets of Islam

The Qur’an has been sent down from the Presence of Allah to bring mankind from the darkness to the light. Our Almighty Lord Who created all the living things and mankind, shows the true and the straight path to His servants through the Qur’an. Allah says in the Qur’an: “Mankind! admonition has come to you from your Lord and also healing for what is in the breasts and guidance and mercy for the believers.” (Surah Yunus, 57).

Allah invites the mankind in many verses of the Qur’an to think about the wisdom in the creatures He created, the transience of the life in this world and about the life in the hereafter. Apart from these, in the Qur'an we can also find passages of the lives of the prophets; their sincerity in faith, their commitment to our Almighty Lord's cause, and their determination in spreading the divine message. Finally, a number of verses in the Qur'an also provide us with insight into how we should conduct ourselves in our everyday lives. In this book, based on the information provided by the Qur'an, we have talked about Allah, His Names, the real purpose of our existence in this world, what we need to do to comply with it, the reality of death and that which awaits us, the Hereafter.

We highly recommend that you read this book carefully, and reflect upon its lessons, because they are intended to draw you nearer to our Creator, Almighty Allah and show you the way to infinite bliss and salvation.
