    'Islam' from the root 'slm' means to 'Submit' 'Surrender' 'Obedience' to the Will of God. Also means 'Peace' indirectly.

    The principle belief is that 'There is only One God, indivisible in essence'.

    And Islam teaches that by 'Faith' alone one cannot be saved, but 'faith' has to go hand in hand with deeds.

    Meaning: Just to believe in God isn't enough but to prove the 'Faith' through action and deeds. So did the Prophet said:

    'Faith should be conformed with deeds, and deeds to be in conformation with 'Faith'".

    So, once one is committed to this believe he/she should begin to style and shape his life in conformity with his/her faith.

    The foundation of Islam is the '5 pillars':

    1) Believe in One God, Allah; and to believe in prophet Muhammad as His last Prophet and Messenger, known as the 'Shahada'( which alone incorporates the 6 articles of 'Faith' within it as explained at the bottom)

    2) Observe 5 obligatory prayers a day at different times each lasting for less than 10 minutes each.

    3) Observe fasting in the month of Ramadan;

    4) Zakat (Obligatory Communal Charity/ Purifying Tax) Paid to the poor in community if one is financially wealthy.

    5) Haj- Perform at least once in a lifetime pilgrimage to Mecca, if financially and physically fit.

    --------------------------------------…

    The 6 Articles of Faith in Islam:

    1) To believe in One God

    2) To believe in all angels, example Arch Angel Gabriel, Michael, etc. etc. know and unknown.

    3)To believe in all known religious scriptures, example Torah, Psalms, Gospel, and the Quran , and others known and unknown, but to believe that only Quran alone remains free from interpolation.

    4)To believe in all prophets from Adam down to Jesus and Muhammad, the 5 great being Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them all).

    5)To believe in Resurrection of the dead and Judgment'.

    6) To believe in 'Predestination'; that is to believe that all that shall happen either individually in a person or collectively as a whole from Day 1, has been pre-recorded in the Book of Life with God.

    (Though this is the case, it is forbidden to rely upon 'pre-destination and stay dumb without action).

    In contrast with Christianity, Islam rejects 'Trinity' but:

    Islam believes that Jesus was not killed on the cross.

    Islam says that Jesus is not God but a prophet.

    Islam believes in the immaculate conception of Jesus.

    Islam believes in the miracles performed by Jesus.

    Islam believes that Jesus is the Christ.

    Islam believes that Jesus is the by product of the 'Word' of God.

    Islam believes in the body and soul ascension of Jesus.

    Islam believes that Jesus is alive up in the heavens.

    Islam believes that Jesus will come back in his second coming.

    Islam believes in Anti Christ.

    Islam believes in the Armageddon.

    Islam believes in Doomsday.

    Islam believes in the Resurrection of the dead.

    Islam believes in the Day of Judgement.

    Islam believes in the Heaven, Hell and also in Eternal Life.

    Hope this helps.

    There is only one belief and that is that there is no other diety except God alone, who begets not, nor He is begotten and He is Merciful and Loving.
