Muslims believe in one God, Allah, who judges humans fit for Heaven or Hell by their faith and actions. Free will means people are responsible for their deeds, but Allah knows each person’s destiny.

Islam means ‘submission to God’. Sunni and Shi’a Muslims believe in one God. They follow the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, who was Allah’s messenger. Muhammad received the Muslim holy book, the Qur’an.

Within Islam, there are compulsory duties that Muslims must try to carry out. Sunni Muslims refer to their duties as the Five Pillars of Islam, and Shi’a Muslims refer to theirs as the Ten Obligatory Acts.
