Islam is also a way of worship and I would in future draw some comparisons in religion. This presentation are in general terms.

FACTS ABOUT HOW FAITH SEES ITSELF

THEISM AND MONOTHEISM
1. There are six articles of faith in Islam. These are the basic beliefs that one must have in order to be considered a true Muslim. They are belief in: 1) The One God. 2) All of the true prophets of God. 3) The original scriptures revealed to Moses, David, Jesus and Muhammad. 4) The angels. 5) The Day of Judgment and the Hereafter. 6) Destiny.
2. The Omnipotent Existence
We believe that the Almighty and Omnipotent God exist as the Creator and Ruler of the universe; and that His greatness, knowledge, and power are apparent through the different aspects of anything that exists;
3. Monotheism is The Very Soul of All the Islamic Commandments
We believe that one of the most important subjects relating to the knowledge of God is monotheism, i.e. the belief that there is only one God..
The Branches of Monotheism
We believe that monotheism (tawhid) has many branches among which four are the most important ones:
A) The Unity of Essence: His absolute Holy Essence is one, indivisible, and no one is similar or like unto him.
B) The Unity of His Attributes: Knowledge, power, eternality (everlasting and pre-existence) and all other qualities and attributes of Him are in His Essence and are exactly the very self of His Essence. This is contrary to His creatures whose qualities are different to that of their bodies, and from each other too. This is a critical point and is to be thought upon with minute care.
C) The Unity of His Action (Act)
4. In the world, nothing is effective but Allah. But this does not mean that we are forced in all respects, and all that happens is inevitable; on the contrary, we all have free will in our decisions.
The Holy Qur’an clearly shows that man has free will, and that we may refer man's deeds and acts to God without any reduction in his responsibilities for what he does. God wills that we do what we do, in freedom and by free will, so that He may examine us and lead us forward in the way of perfection, which could be attained through free will and serving the Lord.
D) The Unity of Worship
5. God is the only Being that deserves, and is worthy of being worshipped. No one is to be worshipped but Allah.

THE MIRACLES
6. We believe that the unity of acts put the emphasis upon this fact that: the great miracles that were performed by the prophets were all with the permission of Allah as we read in the Book about the miracles of Jesus Christ

THE ANGELS
7. We believe in the Angels of God who are assigned to perform different duties. Some of them take God's Divine Guidance through inspiration to the Prophets and Messengers.
DIVINE MISSION OF THE PROPHETS
The Philosophy of the Prophethood
8. We believe that God has sent a long line of prophets and Messengers for the guidance of mankind towards salvation and perfection.
9. We believe that among all the prophets there are five ‘archprophets’, who are the most prominent because they brought the law, divine books and new religions. The first was Noah, the second was Abraham, the third was Moses, the fourth was Jesus Christ; and the last of them all was Muhammad.
10. We believe that the Holy prophet Muhammad closed the long line of Messengers, and he is the last of the prophets, His Islamic law will cover all the mankind, and will remain until the end of the world.
11. If after Muhammad, any one claims to be a prophet, such is a false claim.
"Muhammad is not the father of any of you men, but he is the Messenger of Allah, and the seal of the prophets. Allah has full knowledge of all things." (Holy Qur’an, 33:40).
THE SYMBIOSIS BETWEEN THE FOLLOWERS OF DIVINE RELIGIONS
12. Although we believe that Islam is at present the only official religion accepted by God, it does not mean that there cannot be a symbiosis between the followers of Divine Religions, whether they live in Islamic countries or elsewhere. This has an exception of those non-Muslims who are enemies of Islam and Muslims.
"Allah forbids you not, to be kind and equitable to those who have neither made war on your religion, nor driven you out from your homes. Allah loves the equitable.” (Holy Qur’an, 60:
13. We believe that we can make known the truthfulness of Islam to others, by logical and fair discussions.
"There is no compulsion in religion. The truth is distinct from error. Whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah, has grasped the most trustworthy hand, hold that which never breaks. Allah hears and knows all things.” (Holy Qur’an, 2:256)
14. We believe that if the Muslims do what their religion tells them to do; their deeds are enough to present and spread Islam. Neither force nor compulsion is needed.
THE PROPHETS ARE INNOCENT FOR LIFE
15. We believe that all the prophets are innocent throughout their lives. This means that by the grace of God they are always guiltless, before and after their prophetic mission. If not so, people would lose confidence in them, and would not know them as good mediators to act between them and God.
THEY ARE GOD'S OBEDIENT SERVANTS
16. We believe that it has been the greatest honor of the prophets to be the obedient servants of God.
17. We believe that none of the prophets have claimed to be a god. "It is impossible that a man to whom is given the scriptures, wisdom, and prophethood; should say to people: "worship me instead of God." On the contrary he would say:
"Be you all devoted servants of God, who is truly the cherisher of all, for you have studied and taught the scriptures." (Holy Qur’an, 3:34)
18. Also, Jesus Christ has never asked people to worship him:
"Christ does not refuse to serve and worship Allah; Nor do the nearest angels feel contempt to do that. Those who disdain His worship and who are arrogant will be gathered together in front of Him (to answer)" (Holy Qur’an, 4:172)
19. The histories written today show that among the early Christians of the first century (A.D.), the ‘trinity’ did not exist among them at all; rather it is a concept which appeared later.
MIRACLES AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE UNSEEN
20. Being the servant of God does not prevent the prophet to know the unseen, or the future and the past by the leave of God. We know that one of the miracles performed by Jesus was to inform people of some of the mysterious affairs. Muhammad the prophet of Islam too, declared many secrets by the way of God's inspiration.
THE INTERCESSION OF THE PROPHETS
21. We believe that all the prophets, particularly Prophet Muhammad, are in a position to intercede with God on behalf of a certain group of sinners. This intercession must be, and is by the leave of God:
THE QUESTION OF RESORTING
22. We believe that resorting too, is similar to intercession, which permits those who have problems and difficulties to resort to the prophets and saints for help; so that they may pray to God asking Him to solve the problems of the restorers:
THE PRINCIPLES OF ALL THE PROPHET'S MISSIONS ARE ONE
23. We believe that all the prophets pursued the same aim which is the prosperity of mankind, through faith in God and the resurrection, and by religious training. This is why we respect all the prophets.
REPORTS OF THE FORMER PROPHETS
24. We believe that many of the former prophets have informed their followers of the coming of the next prophet. For instance, Moses and Jesus have given a clear account of the mission of the last of the prophets, Muhammad.
"Those who follow the Messenger the unlettered prophet whom they find mentioned in their own scripture in the Law and the Gospel. He commands them what is just and equitable, and forbids them what is evil" (Holy Qur’an, 7:157)
RACIAL AND TRIBAL ADVANTAGES REJECTED
25. We believe that all the prophets, especially our prophet Mohammad, admitted no racial or tribal advantages for any one. To them, all the races, nations, languages, and color of skin, were of equal value and at the same rank:


ISLAM AND HUMAN NATURE
26. We believe that monotheism, belief in God, and the commandments of the Messengers, are all natural, and based upon the human instinct. The prophets have only watered and grown this fruitful seed.
HOLY QUR’AN AND THE HOLY BOOKS
The philosophy of the revelation of divine books
27. We believe that for the guidance of man, God sent down several divine books, among which we may name: the Sohof given to Noah, the Law given to Moses, the Gospel given to Jesus Christ, and the Holy Qur’an given to Muhammad.

Holy Qur’an is Not Altered At All
28. We believe that this book, the Holy Qur’an which is now at the hands of the Muslims, is the exact and unaltered copy of that which was revealed to our prophet Muhammad nothing less and nothing more.
29. A group of trustworthy scribes chosen by the prophet himself took note of the revelations from the very beginning up to the end, and Muslims had it a duty of must, to read and recite the verses by day and night. A large group of Muslims committed the book to memory and a group of them had it on the scrolls.
30. Those who had the book in their memory and those who could recite it for the others, had always had a very respectful position among the believers. Such customs and else, prevented the least amount of changes or any alteration to take place in the book. Additionally God Himself has promised and guaranteed to look after His book and keep it safe and secure until the end:
Recitation, Contemplation and Action
31. We believe that the recitation of the Holy Qur’an is the best of worship, because it inspires the reciter to think and to contemplate, where by actions may result.
The Deviating Discussions
32. We believe that some mysterious hands have always tried to deviate and swerve Muslims from contemplation and thought over the verses of the Holy Qur’an. The Omayyed and BaniAbbas dynasties engaged the Muslims on void disputes, to answer the questions: ‘whether the Holy Qur’an is old or new? Is it created or is eternally old as God?’ Such prolonged controversies divided the united Muslims into rival groups altercating and fighting each other. Today we know that a lot of blood has been shed as a result of such nonsense arguments and quarrels, for nothing.
Rules and Regulations of Commentating on the Holy Qur’an
33. We believe that the words of the Qur’an should commonly be taken for their fundamental meanings and not for their connotations, with the exception of some, that clear reasons prove them to mean otherwise. The verses in the Holy Qur’an should never be commentated on the basis of conjectures or self-interests. As an instance when we read in Holy Qur’an:
"And he who was blind in this world, will be blind in the hereafter (next world), and most astray from the path (of salvation).” (Holy Qur’an, 17:72)
We are sure enough that ‘blind’ in this verse does not mean, sightless. It rather means someone who has lost his sense of understanding and judgment, and not him who has lost his sense of sight.
The Danger of Self-Commentaries
34. We believe that self-commentary of (Holy Qur’an, i.e. to use one's own views and interests in comments) is a very dangerous attempt in relation to the Holy Qur’an, and of course one of the great sins. Through a tradition, God says: "He who commentates on any words with his own views and self-interest does not believe in Me!"
The Prophet's Methodological Way (Sunnah), Is Taken From the Book of God (Holy Qur’an)
35. We believe that no one should say the Book of God is enough for our guidance, ignoring the true traditions that we have received as to what the prophet said or how he behaved. For these traditions may serve to explain the realities, and clear the meanings of some of the more difficult verses in the Book to show us better the roots and branches of our religion

36. Resurrection and the Life after Death
We believe that all men and women will be raised up on a certain day after death. They all will be judged, and those who are good and virtuous shall live in Paradise (the garden of bliss), and the sinners will join the fire in Hell.
37. There is Always an Imam
We believe that as God has decreed to send His Messengers with divine guidance, for every age or time God has appointed an Imam to look after the people, leading them to the righteous path and to guard the divine law against any deviation. An Imam has to clearly know the necessities of the ages, and lead the people to the true path of God; he invites and teaches the people to obey the prophets and to follow the law. If not so, man will fail to obtain the goal for which he has been created (i.e. prosperity and perfection) and divine law will be abandoned and people will wander astray.
GROOMING
38. Muslim women shall wear the head-covering (hijab) in fulfillment of God’s decree to dress modestly. This type of modest dress has been worn by religious women throughout time such as traditional Catholic nuns, Mother Teresa and the Virgin Mary.
39. Sharia is the law that regulates the daily life of a Muslim and serves as a guide for living by Islamic principles. As Islam is not only a belief system but a complete way of life, the law covers all aspects of living including moral, spiritual, intellectual, physical, economical, political, etc.
40. “Muslim” means “anyone or anything that surrenders itself to the true will of God”. By this definition, we believe that everything in nature (trees, animals, planets, etc.) are “muslims” because they are in a state of surrender to God’s will. In other words, they are fulfilling the purpose for which God created them.

NOTE

1. Please always state your religious affiliation before commenting.
2. On some occasions those who fail to state their faiths are simply ashamed of that church...and
3. A few persons people without religious affiliation are simply irresponsible, not wanting to be held against some known principles!
