4.  Believe in the Prophets
                                                              The  prophets,  or  Rusul,  are  the  Messengers  who  inform  humans  of  the
                                                   consequences of good and bad behaviour, of its rewards and punishments. The teachings and
                                                   regulations of Allah are to be used for guidance of all conduct. Furthermore, the prophets
                                                   are chosen from ordinary people by Allah to act as prototypes for the practice of the desired
                                                   behaviours. To qualify, the prophets must have four special characteristics in which are
                                                   superior to others: 1) Honesty, trustworthiness towards everyone, no cheating or lying, 2) Truthful,
                                                   by always speaking the truth, no telling of lies or being deceitful 3) Having wisdom and intelligence
                                                   and 4) Propagating the revelations without concealment, with strong intention, endeavour, and
                                                   patience, to never be discouraged by any obstruction. There are 25 prophets mentioned in the
                                                   Noble Qur’an, with Adam as the first and Nabi Muhammad as the last.
                                                              5.  Belief in the Day of Judgment

                                                              The Muslims believe that this universe is created temporarily and will be gone
                                                   one day. Allah will give judgment on the good and bad behaviour of humankind, therefore,
                                                   everyone must prepare by accomplishing good practices and avoid doing bad. When the judgment
                                                   day arrives, men with good deeds will be rewarded in the next life according to one’s wishes.

                                                              6. The Faith in Predestination and Decree
                                                              Allah is the controller of all natural conditions and the way of life of humans.
                                                   Every obstacle that men have to face makes them stronger and enables them to solve every
                                                   problem. The threats and risks in life and troubles are the tests of Allah in order to build strength
                                                   in all humans.
