Everything in Islam begins with God, the Creator of the Heavens, the Earth, and everything in between. The oneness and uniqueness of God is paramount in Islam. Faith is characterized by belief in God (Allah), angels, prophets of God, books of God, and the Day of Judgment. On the Day of Judgment, every human being will stand in front of the Almighty God to be judged for his/her actions and deeds.

A Muslim worships God by performing daily prayers, giving alms, fasting in the month of Rama¬dan, and performing pilgrimage (Hajj). A Muslim strives to please God through worship, speaking the truth, enjoining the right and forbidding the wrong, practicing charity, caring for other people and the environment, and striving towards peace and justice for all.

Islam encourages activism and commitment to humanity by honoring God and obeying His laws.
