3. Historical Background of Islam
• Islam dates from the last ten years of the life of the Prophet
Muhammad.
• It began in Makkah around 610 CE.
• The main religion in Arabia at that time was a form of the old
Semitic religion which had shrines to a variety of gods and
goddesses in a multitude of places.
• There was also a widespread acceptance of a supreme God
(Allah).
• The other gods were often regarded as angels who could be
asked to intercede with Allah on behalf of the person praying.

fortunes and that this was not something that needed to be
worshipped.
• Christianity was spreading and there were Jewish communities
in Madinah and in other parts of western Arabia.

11. Islam belief
• Muslim Beliefs about Allah
• The single most important belief in Islam, and arguably the central
theme of the religion, is that there is only one Allah God.
• Muslim Beliefs about the Prophets
• Muhammad is the founder of Islam, is revered as "the Seal of the
Prophets" - the last and greatest of the messengers of God. He is not
divine in any way, for the strict. Other prophets are important in Islam
as well, all of which are shared with the Jews or the Christians.
• Muslim Beliefs about the Afterlife
• Like Christianity, Islam teaches the continued existence of the soul
and a transformed physical existence after death. There will be a day
of judgment and humanity will be divided between the eternal
destinations of Paradise and Hell.

12. Muslim people (who follow Islam) have five duties which
are called Islam Ethics in daily life. Every Muslim tries
to carry out these five things, and it helps them to feel
that they are members of the worldwide Muslim
community.
Islam Ethics in daily life

13. 1: SHAHADAH - confession of faith
2:SALAH - daily prayer
3: ZAKAH - alms for the poor
4: SAWM - fasting
5: HAJJ - pilgrimage to the kaaba in Makkah

15. What Does Islam Say about Day of Judgment?
• There is no true god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger
(Prophet) of God
• And those who believe and do good deeds, they are dwellers of
Paradise, they dwell therein forever.
• And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted
from him and he will be one of the losers in the Hereafter.
• who have disbelieved and died in disbelief, the earth full of gold would
not be accepted from any of them if it were offered as a ransom. They
will have a painful punishment, and they will have no helpers.

16. • He (God) will say, “How many years did you stay on the earth?” They will say:
We stayed a day or part of a day...
• Did you then think that We had created you in jest (without any purpose), and that
you would not be returned to Us (in the Hereafter)? So, God is exalted, the True
King. None has the right to be worshipped but Him...
• The value of this world compared to that of the Hereafter is like what your finger
brings from the sea when you put it in and then take it out.

17. The Muslim in the community.
• The Muslim has a mission in life. Within the community
he calls the people to Islam with good preaching and the
best character.
• He teaches from what he learns and deals with those
whom he comes in contact with based on Islamic values
and morals.
• All this is done seeking the pleasure of Allah, the
Exalted, while striving to attain the reward of His
Paradise.
• Wherever the Muslim is, he should be a beacon of
guidance and a positive source of correction and
education, through both his words and deeds.

18. • The true Muslim has a refined social personality
of the highest degree, which qualifies him to
undertake his duty of calling others to Islam.
• He demonstrates the true values of his religion
and the practical application of those values by
attaining beautiful Islamic attributes.
• His distinct social character represents a huge
store of Islamic values, which can be seen by
the way in which he interacts with the people
around him.
