Articles of faith
The core beliefs of Islam are
that there is only one god – unitary and beyond comprehension – and that
Muhammad is the prophet of God, the last in a series of prophets beginning with
Adam. The Qur'an is upheld as the eternal, literal word of God, and revelations
to earlier prophets, as seen in the Jewish Torah and Christian Gospels, are
believed to have become distorted by human intervention. Muslims believe that
the Qur’an was revealed to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel, and belief in
angels as God’s servants is part of the Islamic tradition. Belief in the Day of
Judgment, when all people will undergo bodily resurrection and be judged by
God, is another core tenet. While Sunni and Shi’a Muslims adhere to these basic
beliefs, Shi’a also believe in the Imamate, the line of infallible spiritual
and political leaders who succeeded Muhammad, beginning with his cousin and
son-in-law, Ali.
