GuidLine for muslims......

Basics of islam

Praise be to Allah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allah leaves astray, no one can guide. We bear witness that there is no deity worth of worship except Allah, the One, having no partner. And we bear witness that Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is His slave and Messenger. “O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared and die not except in a state of Islam (as Muslims, with complete submission to Allah).” [Al Qur’an 3:102] “O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and from him (Adam) He created his wife [Hawwa (Eve)], and from them both He created many men and women; and fear Allah through  Whom you demand (your mutual rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship). Surely, Allah is Ever an All-Watcher over you.” [Al Qur’an 4:1]  “O you who believe! Keep your duty to Allah and fear Him, and speak (always) the truth.” [Al Qur’an 33:70] He (Allah) will direct you to righteous deeds and will forgive you your sins. And whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has indeed achieved a great achievement. To proceed: Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Indeed he succeeds who purifies his own self (i.e. obeys and performs all that Allah ordered, by following the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism and by doing righteous good deeds). And indeed he fails who corrupts his own self (i.e. disobeys what Allah has ordered, by rejecting the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism or by following polytheism, or by doing every kind of evil wicked deeds).” [Al Qur’an 91:9-10].

We believe that these topics will help an average Muslim practice his religion properly, Insha Allah (if Allah wills). We seek the help of Allah for success of this endeavor. “Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one (Prophet Muhammad [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam]) calling to Faith: ‘Believe in your Lord,’ and we have believed. Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrâr (the pious believers of Islamic Monotheism). Our Lord! Grant us what You promised to us through Your Messengers and disgrace us not on the Day of Resurrection, for You never break (Your) Promise.” [Al Qur’an 3:193-194]
