> Islam is composed of three main areas: Utterance (to
> testify that there is no god worthy of worship except
> Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and messenger),
> faith, and deeds.
>
> Faith is to believe in Allah, the Angels, the Heavenly
> Scriptures, Prophets, the last Day, and in the ability of
> Allah to will the existence of good or bad.
>
> Deeds are: Salat (Prayers,) Zakat (a certain fixed
> proportion of the wealth  liable to Zakat  of a Muslim
> to be paid yearly for the benefit of the poor,) Siyam
> (Fasting,) and Hajj (Pilgrimage.)
>
> Faith in Allah
>
> 1. We believe that Allah is one God, our Lord and the
> Lord of everything, and the Creator of everything.
>
> 2. All other than Him are created, and are servants who
> share nothing with Allah. Even Angels and Prophets are
> merely created servants submitting to Allah.
>
> 3. Among them are Jesus and Muhammad (Peace be upon
> them); both have no trace of deity (godhood).
>
> 4. Allah is the Living Self-Subsisting, Eternal, the
> First without a beginning and the Last without an end.
>
> 5. He hears everything and sees everything.
>
> 6. He is Most Gracious, Most Merciful, All-Dominating and
> He has the Most Beautiful Names and the Noblest
> Attributes.
>
> 7. He has created us out of nothing, and made us in the
> best form and He has given us all graces and bounties.
>
> 8. Hence we are not permitted to worship or submit to any
> other than Him, whether a favorite Angel or a chosen
> Prophet.
>
> 9. Whoever directs his prayers, bows or prostrates (in
> worship), or offers sacrifice to any other than Allah, he
> is an infidel and not a Muslim even if he declares that
> he is a Muslim. Allah says: "Say: Truly, my prayer and my
> service of sacrifice, my living and my dying are (all)
> for Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds. No partner has
> He. And of this I have been commanded and I am the first
> of those who submit to His Will." (Holy Quran;
> 6:162-163)
>
> 10. Islam is the religion of Monotheism: it denies the
> Dualism of Magians and the Trinity of Christians. Islam
> teaches that Allah is One and only One. No one shares
> with Him, His Dominion or His Command. He has the Most
> Beautiful Names and the Noblest Attributes. Allah says:
> "Say! He is Allah, the One. He is The Most Unique, The
> Eternal, The Absolute. He begets not, nor was He
> begotten. And there is none like unto Him." (Holy Quran;
> 112)
>
> Faith in Angels
>
> 1. Allah has created Angels to worship Him, to carry out
> His commands and to be His messengers to His Prophets.
>
> 2. One of the angels is Gabriel who used to bring down
> Revelation to our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
>
> 3. Another Angel is Michael who is in charge of rain
> falling.
>
> 4. A third one is the "Angel of Death" who is in charge
> of taking the souls of people whose death is due.
>
> 5. Angels are but servants honored by Allah.
>
> 6. Hence we honor them and speak of them respectfully.
>
> 7. But we worship none of them, nor do we take them as
> Allahs sons or daughters (as infidels claim).
>
> 8. We worship only Allah who created them in this
> wonderful kind of creation.
>
> Allah (Glory be to Him) says: "And they say: The Most
> Gracious has begotten a son, Glory be to Him! They are
> but honored servants. They do not speak before He speaks,
> and they act (in all things) by His command. He knows
> what is before them, and what is behind them, and they
> offer no intercession except for those whom He accepted,
> and they stand in awe for the fear of Him. If any of them
> should say, I am a God besides Him, such one We should
> reward with Hell. Thus do We reward those who do wrong."
> (Holy Quran; 21:26-29)
>
> Faith in Holy Scriptures
>
> 1. Allah has sent down to a number of Messengers, Books
> in order to proclaim them to mankind. These Books contain
> the Words of Allah.
>
> 2. Among them are the Sheets of Ibrahim (Abraham,) Taurat
> revealed to Musa (Moses,) Az-Zabour (Psalms) revealed to
> Dawud (David,) The Injil (Gospel) revealed to Isa
> (Jesus,) and the Quran sent down to Muhammad (Peace be
> upon them all).
>
> 3. Jews and Christians distorted some parts of their
> Books (Taurat and Injil).
>
> 4. Being the last Book assuredly guarded from corruption,
> the Quran confirms the truth in the previous Books and
> guards it.
>
> 5. Whatever, in those Books, differs from the Quran is
> corrupted or abrogated. Allah (Glory be to Him) says:
> "And We have sent down to you the Book (this Quran) in
> truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and
> guarding it" (Holy Quran; 5:48)
>
> 6. Allah revealed the Quran in Arabic and has firmly
> promised to protect it. His last Message is free from all
> corruption; He, Most High, says about the Quran: "We
> have, without doubt, sent down the Message, and We will
> assuredly guard it (from corruption)" ( Holy Quran; 15:9)
>
> Faith in Prophets
>
> 1. We believe that Allah chose from among mankind some
> Prophets to deliver His Guidance. From among those
> Prophets He selected Some Messengers.
>
> 2. He sent to the Messengers Laws and commanded them to
> proclaim these laws and to clarify them to their people.
>
> 3. Some of the great Messengers of Allah were Nooh
> (Noah,) Ibrahim (Abraham,) Musa (Moses), Isa (Jesus,) and
> Muhammad (peace be upon them all).
>
> 4. Embracing Islam does not mean to disbelieve in Moosa,
> Isa, or any other Prophet.
>
> 5. Islam teaches you how to believe correctly in all
> Prophets.
>
> Allah (Glory be to Him) says in the Quran: "And We have
> sent down
> to you the Book (this Quran) in truth, confirming the
> scripture
> that came before it, and guarding it (clarifying the
> truth they distorted)" (Holy Quran; 5:48)
>
> 6. Allah mentioned the names of a number of Prophets, He,
> Most High, says: "Say you (Muslims): We believe in Allah,
> and the revelation given to us and to Ibrahim, lsmail,
> Isaac, Yaqoob (Jacob) and
> the Tribes, and that which was given to Moosa (Moses),
> and Isa (Jesus), and that which was given to all Prophets
> from their Lord. We make no difference between one and
> another of them, and we submit to Allah (in Islam)."
> (Holy Quran; 2:136)
>
> 7. The first Prophet was Adam, father of mankind (PBUH).
>
> 8. Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) is the seal (the
> last) of the Prophets. No Prophet is to come after him up
> to the end of this world.
>
> 9. Hence the fact that Islam is the only true religion to
> remain up to the Last Day.
>
> 10. He is Muhammad son of Abdullah son of Abdul-Muttalib.
> He is an Arab from (the famous tribe) of The Quraysh, a
> descendant of Ibrahim (Abraham) and Ismail (Ishmael)
> (peace be upon them all).
>
> 11. He was born in Makkah (Mecca) in 571 AD (Known as the
> Year of the Elephant).
>
> 12. Allah sent Revelation to him when he was 40 years old.
>
> 13. He stayed in Makkah 13 years calling people to
> (believe in) Allah. Only a limited number of people
> believed in him.
>
> 14. After that he emigrated to Al-Madinah and invited its
> people to believe in Allah, they accepted.
>
> 15. He established the Islamic state, and in the year 8
> AH (After Hijrah) He died at the age of 63 after the
> whole of the Quran was revealed, and all Arabs embraced
> Islam.
>
> Faith in the Last Day
>
> 1. We believe that there will be another life after this
> life.
>
> 2. When the determined term of this life comes to an end,
> Allah will command an Angel to sound the Trumpet and all
> mankind and all other creatures will die.
>
> 3. Then he (Angel) will sound it again, when, behold, all
> dead since Adam will stand out of their graves.
>
> 4. Then, Allah will gather all people to account them for
> what they did.
>
> 5. Those who believed (in Allah), accepted the Messengers
> (as truthful) and did good deeds (commanded by Allah),
> Allah will put them in Paradise. In Paradise, they will
> enjoy eternal Bliss.
>
> 6.. But those who rejected the Messengers and disobeyed
> Allahs commands will be put in Hell. In Hell Fire, they
> will be in continuous eternal punishment.
>
> Allah (Glory be to Him) says: "As for him who had
> transgressed all bounds, and preferred the life of this
> world his abode will be Hell-Fire. And for him who feared
> of standing in front of his Lords (Tribunal), and
> restrained (his) soul from lower desires, his abode will
> be Paradise." (Holy Quran, 79:37-41)
>
> Faith in Fate and Divine Decree
>
> 1. We believe in the timeless knowledge of Allah and in
> His power to plan and execute His plans and nothing could
> happen in His Kingdom against His will.
>
> 2. His knowledge and power are in action and command at
> all times over His creation.
>
> 3. He is Wise and Merciful and whatever He does must have
> a meaningful purpose.
>
> 4. If this is established in our minds and hearts, we
> should accept with good faith all that He does, although
> we may fail to understand it fully, or think it is bad.

So I assume you communicate with your god/s by PHP code since you posted 
here. Not too sure he/she/they will like that!
