#WHAT_IS_ISLAM?
🦋 the beliefs of Islam:
:umbrella: There are many aspects of belief in which one who adheres to Islam must have firm conviction. From those aspects, the most important are six, known as the “Six Articles of Belief”.
:cherry_blossom: Belief in God
Islam upholds strict monotheism and belief in God forms the heart of their faith. Islam teaches belief in one God who neither gives birth nor was born Himself, and has no share in His caretaking of the world. He alone gives life, causes death, brings good, causes affliction, and provides sustenance for His creation. God in Islam is the sole Creator, Lord, Sustainer, Ruler, Judge, and Savior of the universe. He has no equal in His qualities and abilities, such as knowledge and power. All worship, veneration and homage is to be directed to God and none else. Any breach of these concepts negates the basis of Islam.:cherry_blossom: Belief in the Angels
Adherents to Islam must believe in the Unseen world as mentioned in the Quran. From this world are the angels’ emissaries of God, each assigned with a specific task. They have no free-will or ability to disobey; it is their very nature to be God's faithful servants. Angels are not to be taken as demigods or objects of praise or veneration; they are mere servants of God obeying His every command.
3 ) :cherry_blossom: Belief in the Prophets and Messengers
Islam is a universal and inclusive religion. Muslims believe in the prophets, not just the Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, but the Hebrew prophets, including Abraham and Moses, as well as the prophets of the New Testament, Jesus, and John the Baptist. Islam teaches God did not send prophets to Jews and Christians alone, rather He sent prophets to all nations in the world with one central message: worship God alone. Muslims must believe in all prophets sent by God mentioned in the Quran, without making any distinction between them. Muhammad was sent with the final message, and there is no prophet to come after him. His message is final and eternal, and through him God completed His Message to humanity.

- :cherry_blossom: Belief in the Sacred Texts
Muslims believe in all books that God has sent down to humanity through His prophets. These books include the Books of Abraham, the Torah of Moses, the Psalms of David, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. These books all had the same source (God), the same message, and all were revealed in truth. This does not mean that they have been preserved in truth. Muslims (and many other Jewish and Christian scholars and historians) find that the books in existence today are not the original scriptures, which in fact have been lost, changed, and or translated over and over again, losing the original message.
As Christians view the New Testament to fulfill and complete the Old Testament, Muslims believe that the Prophet Muhammad received revelations from God through the angel Gabriel to correct human error that had entered into the scriptures and doctrine of Judaism, Christianity and all other religions. This revelation is the Quran, revealed in the Arabic language, and found today in its pristine form. It seeks to guide mankind in all walks of life; spiritual, temporal, individual and collective. It contains directions for the conduct of life, relates stories and parables, describes the attributes of God, and speaks of the best rules to govern social life. It has directions for everybody, every place, and for all time. Millions of people today have memorized the Quran, and all copies of the Quran found today and in the past are identical. God has promised that He will guard the Quran from change until the end of times, so that Guidance be clear to humanity and the message of all the prophets be available for those who seek it.

:cherry_blossom: Belief in Life after Death
Muslims believe that a day will come when all of creation will perish and resurrected in order to be judged for their deeds: The Day of Judgment. On this day, all will gather in the presence of God and each individual will be questioned about their life in the world and how they lived it. Those who held correct beliefs about God and life, and followed their belief with righteous deeds will enter Paradise, even though they may pay for some of their sins in Hell if God out of His Infinite Justice chooses not to forgive them. As for those who fell into polytheism in its many faces, they will enter Hellfire, never to leave therefrom.:cherry_blossom: Belief in the Divine Decree
Islam asserts that God has full power and knowledge of all things, and that nothing happens except by His Will and with His full knowledge. What is known as divine decree, fate, or "destiny" is known in Arabic as al-Qadr. The destiny of every creature is already known to God.
This belief however does not contradict with the idea of man's free will to choose his course of action. God does not force us to do anything; we can choose whether to obey or disobey Him. Our choice is known to God before we even do it. We do not know what our destiny is; but God knows the fate of all things.
Therefore, we should have firm faith that whatever befalls us, it is according to God's will and with His full knowledge. There may be things that happen in this world that we do not understand, but we should trust that God has wisdom in all things
I never said I believe in any refuted myths. I believe in the felt presence of direct experience that I have had—direct experience of God, which is a thing that no religion can give. Religions rely on texts and agents like imams and priests, instead of direct experience, which is available when we use the plant tools God has given us.
There is no control on what you said. Anyone can say my experience tells me so and so. The experience you talk about may lead us only to the point that there is God, but how do you know what Allah wants from you? So Allah, the All-Knowing and the All-Wise sent messengers and scriptures tell us what we should believe in regarding Allah, His traits, actions, angles and so on.
In Islam the is no any one between you and God. In Islam you can seek knowledge and know more about your God. In Islam Scholars and Imams as you said have nothing to do with you except answering the question you don't know. They answer depending upon the book of Allah and the tradition of the Prophet. So i hope you know more about Islam to know that there is no one between you and Allah.

"Refuted myth"
It's a refuted myth if you acknowledge its your own perception The owner of this universe this creation
As you see it's a Marvel if you acknowledge the existence of God then you should acknowledge your purpose of your creation
What is it do you know?...

Peace.
God wants nothing but for us to be happy! If God is all-powerful, how could god then want things? God has made everything exactly as it should be, and it is special-tailored to benefit each of us. The purpose of creation is to be loved by God. Nothing more. There can be no greater good, no higher purpose.
There is also no control in religion, because anyone can interpret the texts however they please.
Peace
Yes I believe that God is the Almighty ,the All-wise,the Self-sufficient Master, the Most Merciful .
He doesn't need anything or anyone.
Hence , He did not leave us to wander aimlessly
but blessed us with an innate ability to recognize and acknowledge His existence. He placed this awareness deep in our hearts as a natural disposition that has not changed since human beings were first created. Furthermore, He reinforced this natural disposition with the signs that he placed in creation that testify to His existence.
However, since it is not possible for human beings to have a detailed knowledge of God except through revelation from Himself, God sent His Messengers to teach the people about their Creator Who they must worship. These Messengers also brought with them the details of how to worship God, because such details cannot be known except by way of revelation.
So to be loved by God, one should learn about God through contemplating on His creation, and following the guidance in His revelation to know and do what pleases Him.
An important point to note is it is not up to any one to interpret the scriptures as he wishes. The interpretation of the Quran is done through the Quran itself(some parts explain others), prophetic Sunnah (authentic narrations from prophet , peace &blessings be upon him), and companions of prophet .
You said "since it is not possible for human beings to have a detailed knowledge of God except through revelation from Himself, God sent His Messengers to teach the people about their Creator Who they must worship."
But the fact is that it is possible to experience god through personal revelation! That is why god gave us the tools of LSD and Psilocybe mushrooms, so that we could have a direct experience of God's love and power. They are the plant messengers, and have more to teach than any human messenger.
God wants us to have personal experience of the infinite love. And we will, regardless of what happens in this life. But why wait to experience the bliss of the heavenly presence? God is available whenever we wish.
If one says that they do not have the right to judge other’s beliefs or actions, they are, in fact, contradicting themselves. If you were to ask many of these people whether killing infants or suicide is correct and acceptable, they will naturally answer that it is not. But when we look into certain societies, such as some religions found in Central America, infanticide was seen to be a way to draw near to their gods. Also today, in Hindu religion, it is praiseworthy for a wife to kill herself after the death of her husband. If they truly believe that religion is something left to the individual and that none have the right to interfere or judge them, then this would necessitate allowing that killing babies is something which is correct to those who believe it is praiseworthy, and that people have no right to judge them.
If we were to bring this issue to an individual level, we would see that each person has their individual perception of good and evil, whether this perception is based upon religion, law, culture, or individual contemplation. One might believe that it is perfectly acceptable to commit adultery while another might think it to be wrong. One might believe that it is permissible for them to indulge in narcotics since it is their own body, and others might believe it to be a crime. None would be able to say that anything is right or wrong, and all people would be left to their own devices to believe and practice what they perceive as “correct.
You already copy-pasted that segment and used it in your argument : (
Also, God has made the universe so that the consequences of each right and wrong action are inherent in the act. No human can do greater justice than god—and it is heretical that we would try to do so with our laws and our holy books. Human justice is injustice. Otherwise governments and religions would not be responsible for so many atrocities.
