Three Articles of Faith

1) Islam consists of submission and obedience to Allah, the Lord of the Universe. Since the only authentic source of knowing Him and His Will and Law is the teaching of the true Prophet, we may define Islam as that religion, which stand for complete faith in the teachings of the Prophet and steadfast, obedience to his ways of life. Consequently, one who ignores the medium of the Prophet and claims to follow God directly is not a 'Muslim'.

2) In earlier epochs there had been separate Prophets for different nations, and the history of prophethood shows that even in one and the same nation several Prophet appeared one after the other. In that age Islam was the name of that religion which was taught to a nation bu its own Prophet or Prophets. Though the nature and substance of Islam was the same in every age and county, the modes of worship, codes of law and other detailed rules and regulation of life varied according to local and particular condition. It was not, therefore necessary for any nation to follow another nation's Prophet and its responsibility was confined to following the guidance given by its own Prophet.

3) This period of poly-prophetism came to an end with the advent of Muhammed (blessing of Allah and peace be upon him). The teaching of Islam were made complete through him; one basic law was formulated for the whole world and he was made a Prophet for all mankind. his prophethood was not meant for any particular nation or country or period; his message was for all people and for all ages. Thi=e earlier codes were abrogated by the advent of Muhammad (blessing of Allah and peace be upon him) who gave the world a complete code of life. This means there will be no new Prophet and no new religious code until the last day. Muhammad's (blessing of Allah and peace be upon him) teachings are meant for all the children of Adam, the entire human race.
