ISLAM PHILOSOPHY OF
heaven if they have followed God's commands or
RELIGION
 Islam is the faith or belief that there is a God, and that
He chose the Arab merchant Muhammad to be His
Messenger.
 The word ‘islam’ which means ‘to submit’.
 Those who practise Islam are known as Muslims.
 Muslims believe the will of God was revealed in the
revelations Muhammad received, the collection known
as the Qur'an.
 The word Muslims use for God is Allah - it means the
Absolute, the Almighty, the Supreme.
 Who is Allah? Allah is The One and The Only God
who created the worlds,
 Angels (created by light),
 Jinn (created by Fire),
 Satan (devil) is an outcast Jinn,
 man (created from sounding clay),
 animals and contents of the universes
 Allah is One, there is no God other than Him, without
any partners, He is eternal without a beginning and
enduring without end, Absolute, Self-Sufficient, Self-
Existing, never dies, not borne nor gives birth, has no
companion and nothing is comparable to Him. He never
sleeps nor slumbers. All-Knowing, All-Hearing, All-
Seeing. Nothing happens except what He wills. He
gives life and death. He is The Most Gracious and The
Most Merciful. He is intensively and continuously
merciful to his creatures even though Non Muslims do
not believe in him. He is far above from any created
being. He is The Creator of everything in the universe,
heaven and earth and its content. He will never perish
or come to an end. When Allah wants anything to
happen he says "Be" and it is. Muslims do not believe
that Allah assumed Human form and came down to this
earth. Human body form has animal properties and
animal characteristics are created by Allah. Allah is high
above all the creations.
 ISLAMIC BELIEFS ON THE SOUL
 According to few verses from the Qur'an, the
creation of humans involves Allah "breathing" souls
into them.
 This intangible part of an individual's existence is
"pure" at birth.
 It has the potential of growing and achieving
nearness to God if the person leads a righteous life.
 At death, the person's soul transitions to an eternal
afterlife of bliss, peace and unending spiritual
growth until the day of judgement where both the
body and soul are reunited for judgement at which
point the person is either rewarded by going to
punished if they have disobeyed him.
 CREATION OF MANKIND
 The first Man's (Adam) body was created from
sounding clay.
 His companion woman "Hava" was created from
Adam's rib.
 All his descendant's bodies are created by sperm of
man and ovum of women.
 Jesus (Prophet ISA) son of Mariam (Mary) was
created by Allah's word (Be and it is) like Adam
but in Mariam's womb.
 Jesus was a human prophet and not son of
God. He was not crucified but taken up alive
(Holy Quran).
 Allah breathed into the body of man part of His
spirit called (Ruh) Soul .
 When the soul enters the body it becomes alive,
when this soul is withdrawn from the body it dies
and the body decays, putrefies and is eaten by
microorganisms.
Stage 1. Life in Lau Ho Mahfuz.
 Allah created all the souls of the descendants of
Adam and Hava who were predestined to come to
this earth.
 Everything about the universes and our soul before
and after creations are documented and recorded
in the tablet (book) board in heaven (Lau Ho
Mahfuz).
Stage 2. Life in the mother's womb.
 The soul is sent down to this earth into the body of
fetus developed in the mother's womb and the fetus
becomes alive.
 The fetus was swimming in the amniotic fluid inside
the uterus like a fish. It does not breathe air.
 The fetus was fed by the blood through the
placenta of the mother and supplied to the body of
the fetus by means of umbilical cord.
 In pregnant women there is no menstruation until
the baby is born.
Stage 3. Life in this world.
 At the fetal age of 36 to 40 weeks (pregnancy) the
baby is born.
 The baby breaths the first time and cries.
 Some practice infanticide (kill babies) if the baby is
female. Islam does not allow infanticide and
abortion.
 The newly born baby is clean, innocent , free from
sins, grows, develops , learns and is brought up in
muslim families or in non-muslim families.
 The soul in the baby forgot Allah and the promise
(covenant) given in the heaven that Allah is his
Creator and Lord.
 The babies brought up in muslim families will be
taught Quran and reminded about Allah and Islam
to worship only The One Allah.
 Allah has sent 124,000 Prophets from the time of
Adam to the time of Prophet Muhammad (SAW),
the last Prophet, to remind all mankind to worship
one God Allah.
 Muslims believe all the Prophets and their books
(psalms, Torah, Bible and Quran).
 Quran is the latest divine revelation (words of Allah)
revealed to Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) 1400 years
ago and is preserved without any flaws and
amendments done by humans up to date.
 Quran is preserved in the hearts of Hafizs (Those
who have memorized the whole book Holy Quran
by heart).
 Those who believe in one Allah, his prophets, his
books, his angels, the last day of judgment, the
next life, good or bad come from predestined
decree of Allah, the existence of hell and heaven,
reward for good people and punishment of bad
people are called Muslims.
 All souls are provided with limited free will to
choose.
 There is no compulsion in Islam. All souls
have to taste death.
 The soul of man will be extracted by the
angel of death either gently or roughly when
the time is ripe.
 When a soul is pulled out from the body man
must remember his faith in Allah (that Allah is
his Creator) otherwise he will be sent to hell.
 Satan will destroy Muslims by using many tactics
but especially by
1. Jealousy and
2. Greediness
 Muslims therefore practice and profess "there is no
God except Allah, Muhammad is the messenger
of Allah" (in Arabic "La ilaaha illallah
Muhammadur Rasullulah") it must be said by
mouth and believed in the heart all the time and
practiced all the time to make it habitual during
sleep or while awake or in shock or distress.
 Allah has provided a way for mankind to drive away
Satan by uttering the divine revelation 'A-'oo thu
bil-laa-hi mi-nash-shai-taa-nir ra-jeem. Bis-mil-
laa-hir- Rah-maa-nir Ra-heem." meaning "I seek
refuge in Allah from Satan the outcast, In the name
of Allah , The Most Gracious , The Most Merciful".
 Muslims always say in good or bad status
Alhamdulillah (All praises and thank be to
Allah), that is submission to the Will of Allah.
 Muslims always say Insha Allah (God willing)
before they plan to do things. Masha Allah (will of
God) to appreciate things.
 In order to die as a Muslim with faith one must also
practice virtues of Islam (good practice) such as the
5 PILLARS OF ISLAM.
1. Faith ("Laa ilaha illallah Muhamadur Rasullulah")
"there is no God except Allah, Muhammad is the messenger
of Allah",
2. Pray five times a day (dawn, afternoon, evening,
sunset and night).
3. Pay Zakat (poor man's money Alms)
4. Fasting one month in Ramadan
5. Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca) once in a life time.
Stage 4. Death.
 After the soul is drawn from the body Allah keeps it
in a place called Alam Barzaak. Good people's soul
are kept in a good place and bad people's soul in a
bad place until Kiyamat (Judgment day) arrives,
when everything is destroyed except Allah. There
will be resurrection of all Mankind
Stage 5. Resurrection on the Judgment day.
 All souls will get up from the graves.
 Obedient souls will go to paradise for ever.
Disobedient souls will go to hell for punishment.
 Those who ignore or reject or refuse to believe
Allah and who worshipped false gods rather than
Allah, The Creator , in this world , will go to Hell
forever in the next world. Muslims do not believe in
Incarnation (reborn again) to this world.
Stage 6. The end stage for disobedient soul is to
enter Hell fire.
Stage 7. The end stage for obedient soul is
peaceful to enter paradise in the form of new
creation with different forms.
 Allah said that it is easy for Him to do so (Holy
Quran).
 In paradise they will be free from sickness,
illness and will at all times be healthy, clean,
peaceful and satisfied with provisions, with
beautiful young companions and of no ageing,
to dwell in forever.
 This is because Allah is satisfied with the soul
who is obedient to His Divine laws and the soul
is also satisfied with Allah.
