and what will happen. 2) God has recorded all that has happened and all that will happen. 3) Whatever God wills to happen happens, and whatever He wills not to happen does not happen. 4) God is the Creator of everything. (Please visit www.islam-guide.com/beliefs for more information on basic Islamic beliefs.) Is There Any Sacred Source Other than the Qur’an? Yes. The sunnah (what the Prophet Muhammad said, did, or approved of) is the second source in Islam. The sunnah is comprised of hadeeths, which are reliably transmitted reports by the Prophet Muhammad’s companions of what he said, did, or approved of. Belief in the sunnah is a basic Islamic belief. Examples of the Prophet Muhammad’s Sayings { The believers, in their love, mercy, and kindness to one another are like a body: if any part of it is ill, the whole body shares its sleeplessness and fever. }1 { The most perfect of the believers in faith are the best of them in morals. And the best among them are those who are best to their wives. }2 { None of you believes (completely) until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself. }3 { The merciful are shown mercy by the All-Merciful. Show mercy to those on earth, and God will show mercy to you. }4 { Smiling at your brother is charity... } 5 { A good word is charity. } 6 Chapter 3 General Information on Islam Is There Any Sacred Source Other than the Qur an?
