What to know about Islam | What do Muslims Believe in? | What are Five Pillars of Islam?

In Islam, every human being is born sinless; there is no original sin. Each person is responsible for their own acts, and no one shall bear the burden of others (An'am, 6/164). Each person is inspired with the knowledge of Allah and naturally inclined toward Islam before birth. It is therefore our responsibility to seek the guidance of Allah and keep our hearts pure from corruption. Allah is the judge of all, and no one has the right to grant salvation or dictate punishment except Him.

Around the year 610 AD, a man named Muhammad was spending time alone in the cave of Hira where he regularly retreated from the hustle and bustle of the busy trading town of Mecca in order to contemplate on the mysteries of life. Muhammad was known as "the trustworthy" amongst his friends and family as he was always sincere and honest in his dealings with others. It was towards the end of the lunar month of Ramadan, during the night that is now known and celebrated as the Night of Qadr, when the revelations of the Qur'an began to be transmitted through Archangel Gabriel to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He continued to receive these revelations for twenty-three years. The verses were memorized and written down by the companions and followers of the Prophet Muhammad, and is the same Book (the Qur'an) that Muslims read today.
