Defining "ISLAM" in English.What Does It Mean? - Is It A Noun Or A Verb?"Islam" - Is Both - A Verb - & - A Noun~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~((In this topic I'll write about Islam as a noun, and in the next topic I'll write about Islam as a verb 'action'))"ISLAM" As A Noun :- 6 Articles of Belief- 5 Pillars of Action- Complete Way of LifeSix Beliefs (Muslims must believe):* Allah* Angels* Books* Prophets* Resurrection* PredestinationAllah - Believe God Almighty is One, Unique, Unlike His Creation, Perfect in every way; Not like or in His Creation.Angels - Made from light, follow Allah's orders perfectly, never make mistakes and are never disobedient (devil is not a fallen angel in Islam).Books - Torah (Old Testament), Suhoof (Scriptures of prophets), Zabur (Psalms), Enjil (Evangel or New Testament), Quran (Recitation to Muhammad).Prophets - Adam, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus, Muhammad, and others mentioned in Books, peace be upon them all.Resurrection - All people, believers and disbelievers will be resurrected for Judgment Day in real flesh and blood bodies to be judged.Divine Destiny - Allah has complete control of all that happens, both good and evil and He has full knowledge of it all.''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''Five Actions ( Muslims must practice these five things):*Shahadah*Salat*Fasting*Charity*PilgrimmageShahadah - Declare The Belief That Allah is ONE and Muhammad, peace be upon him, is His Last Messenger.5 Daily "salat" - The special form of worship of standing, bowing, prostrating to Allah while facing Mecca.Fast Ramadhan - Not eating or drinking during the daylight hours for the month of Ramadhan (Lunar calander).Pay Alms Tax - 2 1/2% of Exess wealth distributed annually to the poor and needy.Hajj - Pilgrimmage to Mecca once in the life when Allah provides a way, and it is safe to do so.''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''Islam Is - A Complete And Total Way of Life.Islam is from Allah, The Creator and Sustainer of all that exists. As such, it is for Him Alone to command and direct His creation and He Alone is responsible for what He will accept and what He will not accept. It is also for Him Alone to decree what is good and what is bad and He must be the One to show the right path in all things.Everything in the life of the creations of Allah, especially for those who have choices to make (us), must be dictated and clarified by the One who Created everything in the fist place. We understand from this that Islam must be a complete and total way of living, explaining everything in the life from beginning to end and from birth until death.Islam is careful to remind us that it not a religion to be paid mere lip service; rather it is an all-encompassing way of life that must be practiced continuously for it to be Islam.There are other injunctions and commandments which concern virtually all facets of one's personal, family and civic life. These include such matters as diet, clothing, personal hygiene, interpersonal relations, business ethics, responsibilities towards parents, spouse and children, marriage, divorce and inheritance, civil and criminal law, fighting in defense of Islam, relations with non-Muslims, and so much more.In conclusion, we are forced to realize that ISLAM is a complete way of life for the human being. Everything is covered in Islam from birth to death to live in the complete submission to the Will of the One Who Created man in the first place.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~( Quoted from >>> http://islamtomorrow.com/definition.asp#beliefs )

Thank you very very much sister Jori for all these statements.They are great.
Don't pay attention to the ones with a false belief,just follow the right path.
(Prophets - Adam, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus, Muhammad, and others mentioned in Books, peace be upon them all.) Those "PROPHETS" that God has sent them to people in different periods.. and we must believe in all those prophets.
But those names which you wrote (Ali ben abi Taleb, Al hasan, Al husen, etc.. 'peace be upon them') they are family and relatives of prophet Mohammad (pbuh) They are NOT prophets.. Did you understand????????????

THE IMAMS AND LEADERS OF ISLAM (Byal-`Allamahat-Tabatabai)
The previous discussions lead us to the conclusion that in Islam, after the death of the Holy Prophet, there has continuously existed and will continue to exist with- in the Islamic community (ummah), an Imam (a leader chosen by God). Numerous prophetic hadlths have been transmitted in Sh;'ism concerning the description of the Imams, their number, the fact that they are all of the Quraysh and of the Household of the Prophet, and the fact that the promised Mahdi; is among them and the last of them. Also, there are definitive words of the Prophet concerning the Imamate of 'Al; and his being the first Imam and also definitive utterances of the Prophet and 'Al; concerning the Imamate of the Second Imam. In the same way the Imams before have left definitive statements concerning the Imamate of those who were to come after them. According to these utterances contained in Twelve- lmam Shi'ite sources the Imams are twelve in number and their holy names are as follows: ( I ) 'Ali ibn Ab; Talib; (2) al-Hasan ibn 'Ali; (3) al-Husayn ibn 'Ali; (4) 'Ali ibn al-Husayn; (5) Muhammad ibn 'Ali;(6) Ja'far ibn Muhammad; (7) Musa ibn Ja'far; (8) 'Ali ibn Musa; (9) Muhammad ibn 'Ali; (10) 'Ali ibn Muhammad; (11) al-Hasan ibn 'Ali; and (12) the Mahdi.
