nah i was wondering like what are the main points (i guess?) of being muslim?

Like you know christianity your SUPPOSED to turn the other cheek type of thing, believe in god, believe that jesus was the son of god, not judge people cause that is gods job, you know that type of thing.

The beliefs of Muslims are:

- There is only one God(Allah) the unknown Almighty being he has no sons/daughters nothing. He is the one and only.

- Muslims pray 5 times a day. Before sunrise-noon-midday-sunset-night. These can get real deep when explaining why/how. So we will keep it at that. These are mandatory prayers. All Muslims must pray.

- We believe in the Quran(100%) We believe in the other Holy books also because they were all brought down to us through Angel Gabriel to different prophets.

- We believe that Jesus was a great prophet - but we only believe him as a prophet - just like all the other prophets.

- We believe that Prophet Mohammad was the last prophet sent to the earth, and he was the greatest of the prophets. More to it then that..again this would be a long subject to explain why.

- We believe in Abraham, Jesus, Moses, Isaac..the list goes on, they were all prophets.

- Judging is left up to God. We should not judge people at all, because we do not know what is actually in there hearts, or what God thinks about them. That is what Islam teaches.

There are many more things that can be touched upon. These are some basic principles that I could think of at the moment.

- We read the Quran, which is written in Arabic, and Arabic only. If you find an all English translated Quran. It probably not Authentic. All Qurans that are translated have the Arabic writing on one side and the "Old english" writing on the other.

Ignorant question... but I guess this is the right place for it.. What is the difference between Muslim and Islam? Like I said, I'm sure this is ignorant question and I'm not even positive if Islam is even a religion.. so no need to bash, just curious.

^^^ How is that an ignorant question? If you don't know and honestly want to know, that's not ignorance. To me, that's commendable. Later, QD.

i'm mulsim as well and i know a few of the basics but as a human i can make mistakes.

There are five pillars in islam, pillars that hold up the religion and must be carried out by anyone who is willing to make the sacrifice to god. These include and are in respected order

1. Declaration of faith that there is one god and profit Muhammad (ppoh) is the last messenger
2. Prayer, yes five times a day as mentioned above
3. Giving to the needy (Zakat)
4. Fasting during the respected month for purification of oneself
5. Pilgrimige to the holly land, Makkah. This must be done at least once in your lifetime

These are all REQUIRMENTS for all muslims...

Any other questions ill be more then happy to help.
