Oneness of God or Tawheed, Prophethood (Quran is a word of God, Allah revealed on Prophet Muhammad PBUH) and Day of judgment or Akhirah are the three basic beliefs of Islam.
Three basic beliefs of Islam canbe described as the First belief in the oneness of God almighty. It means there is a God and one and only one God, an Arabic name is Allah. The second faith or belief is Prophet Hood and Muhammad PBUH is the last and final prophet the messenger of God. Quran is a word of God revealed on Prophet Muhammad PBUH by almighty Allah through Angel Gabriel. Day of Judgment is the third and final belief. It has two parts, first that this universe will come to end and after that on the day of judgment all creations body will be resurrected on the day of judgment on this day Allah will balance the good deeds a person has done against the bad and decide whether they go straight to paradise Jannah or have to spend time in Hell.
Oneness of God or Tawheed
Out of three basic beliefs of Islam, the first article faith is the oneness of God or Tawheed. The declaration of faith is comprised of some core beliefs every Muslim must believe in the first concept in the declaration of faith is there is a God and oneness of God. God who has created everything the earth we live. The trees that give off oxygen, everything that lives, everything on earth and the heavens are created by God in Islam believe in one God.
The Arabic word Allah means God Allah is not a different God nor a new God invented by Prophet Muhammad or by Muslims. Allah is the semantic term for God Arabic Jews and Arabic Christians also use the term Allah in their books.
First Belief out of three basic beliefs of Islam
To come closer to understanding the oneness of God (Tawheed) we have the 99 names of Allah. And every one of those names in some way shape or form is reflected in what Allah has presented to us in the creation and in existence. So when we look at a mother caring for a child nurturing a child we can understand the name Rahman because that is a manifestation or an example of Rahma which comes from al Rahman, the merciful the compassionate. When we see a sumptuous plate of food, that reminds us of Rizk or provision and it calls to mind the name a Razzak, which is the provider and so on and so forth. There are 99 of these names and anything that we look at in creation reflects one of those names in some way shape or form.
One and only
In the holy Quran Chapter, no 112 God asks Prophet Muhammad PBUH to tell the people about him that who he is?“Say, He is Allah, the One and only. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute. He begetteth not, nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him.”
Islam doesn’t believe that God had any Son. Don't believe that he has any partners. Wheres other religions maybe they have more than one God they worship it's not a monotheistic religion. The basic concept of all religions IS worship only one God yeah from Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus until Mohammed has one teaching one God and that's to say in Arabic “ La ilaha illallah “ there is no god but Allah.
In chapter 2 verse no 255 god says “Allah! there is no God but He the living the Self-subsisting Eternal. No slumber can seize him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitted? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. For He is the Highest the Supreme (in glory).”
God is the one who to whom worship is due, he is the creator, the provider, the sustainer of everything, he is the supreme the eternally. God has no father nor mother nor son nor daughter no partner. He is all-knowing all-seeing, all-hearing, all-powerful, all-merciful. He gives life and causes death. It is he who is unique in its names and attributes.
Worthy deity
Everything in this world and everything it contains the whole universe including you and I belong to the one God. We use the phrases my hand my house my money but in reality, it all belongs to God, to Allah. Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth whether you show what is within yourselves or conceal it Allah will bring you to account for it then he will forgive whom He wills and punishes whom He wills and Allah is competent over all things.
We all must adhere to and acknowledge the idea that no deity is worthy of his or her worship love subservience hope and fear other than Allah. Nothing in existence is worthy of one's ultimate loyalty and sacrifice or worthy at once lowering his or her head in prostration or humility with the exception of Allah.
Prophet Hood, Second in beliefs of Islam
Prophethood is the second principle or belief of three basic beliefs of Islam. Prophet Muhammad is the messenger and the last messenger of God Almighty Allah. God created us and gave us our eyes our oxygen and everything we needed. It is unimaginable for anyone in their right mind to believe that he didn't give us the greatest thing that we needed, which is access to him and guidance in our lives i.e.prophethood.
Who are Prophets
Prophets are the disguised and special people that Allah Almighty has chosen among common people. The fundamental task of the prophets is that they inform people about Allah’s religion his commands and prohibitions. They highlight the unmatchable rewards that would be given both in this world and the one hereafter to those who believe and do good deeds. At the same time, they warn about the torture of hell to non-believers who carry out bad deeds. Prophethood is found in the three great monotheistic religions of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Now let's see what is the vital motivation behind assigningprophethood?
First of all, in order to know and understand the true nature of beings in the universe, the need for an instructor for this cause was mandatory. Therefore prophets were sent to teach humans about various forms and complexities associated with life in this world. Secondly, prophets played an essential role for us to know the existence of Allah almighty and the world hereafter. Similarly, the objective of human beings created can only be understood through prophets. Prophets can describe how to worship the everlasting Allah almighty and how to obey his commands. Lastly, prophets are guides for people to make them aware of the right and wrong paths. Another important aspect of prophethood is its finality in this regard one of the important questions concerning various religions.
The Prophethood of Muhammad PBUH
Prophet Muhammad PBUH is the last prophet to answer and take care of this question. Quran is the words of God revealed for the guidance of human beings on Prophet Muhammad PBUH. The name and duty of different angels are mentioned in the Quran. Quran has stated approximately 100 verses directly or indirectly that supports the doctrine of the finality of prophethood. It testifies the Prophet Muhammad PBUH as the last prophet sent by Allah.
A translation of one of these verses is “Muhammad is not the father of any one of your men but he is the Messenger of Allah and the last of the prophets and ever is Allah of all things knowing” (surah al-ahzab ayah 40). Since Prophet Muhammad PBUH has spent his life in the best way possible and made himself a role model for not only Muslims but to everyone. Muslim must believe in Prophethood, Quran is a word of God revealed on prophet Muhammad PBUH.
Day of Judgment or Akhirah is the third and final in beliefs of Islam
Third and final in the three basic beliefs of Islamis the Day of Judgment. It has two parts, First that this universe will come to end. Prophet Muhammad PBUH said how I can relax. The owner of the trumpet, the custodian of the trumpet has lifted it to his mouth and he has put the focus of his hearing, focused attentive when will the law decree that I blow the trumpet.
When the trumpet is blown whatever is in the heavens and earth will be destroyed, for verily the tremor, the shaking, the vibration, the quake of that hour is a big thing. The creation changes, the mountains fly about, the earth is destroyed, buildings come crumbling down, everything that you know is an utter ruin the most catastrophic day in the existence of creation and this is the first blow and this is called the blow of destruction. Quran stated in chapter 84 named Anshikak
End of universe
End of universe
1.When the sky is rent asunder, 2. And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so).3. when the earth is flattened out,4. And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,5. And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord,- and it must needs (do so), (then will come Home the full reality).6. O, thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord- painfully toiling,- but thou shalt meet Him.7.
Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,8. Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,9. And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!10. But he who is given his Record behind his back,-11. Soon will he cry for perdition,12. And he will enter a Blazing Fire.13. Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!14. Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!15? Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!16.
So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;17. The Night and its Homing;18. And the Moon in her fullness:19. Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.20. What then is the matter with them, that they believe not?-21. And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,22. But on the contrary, the Unbelievers reject (it).23. But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)24. So announce to them a Penalty Grievous, 25. Except for those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a reward that will never fail.

Resurrection of Bodies
Then after a period of time Allah, God will send down water, this water will be like a sticky gooey substance and through it and from it Allah will remake the bodies of the humans, under the grave, under the soil it seeps through and from the last bone on your spinal column for every human, that's what remains. So from that God Allah will remake you. On the day of judgment, Allah will resurrect bodies of all creations. On this day Allah will balance the good deeds a person has done against the bad and decide whether they go straight to paradise Jannah or have to spend time in Hell.
Summery
These are three basic beliefs of Islam. There is a God and one and only one God, He is unique. No one is like him. He has no partner or son etc. God sent the prophet to deliver his guidance to human beings. Muhammad PBUH is a prophet and the last prophet of God, Allah. No prophet will be after Prophet Muhammad PBUH. Quran is a word of God revealed on prophet Muhammad PBUH. And we must believe what is written in the Quran such as Angels, Heaven, Hell, etc.
This universe will go to end on one day. Allah will balance the good deeds a person has done against the bad and decide whether they go straight to paradise Jannah or have to spend time in Hell. All human beings will be held accountable for their actions in life and that Allah will judge them. As humans have been given free will people are able to choose between right and wrong and are responsible for their actions this life is a preparation for the eternal life to come.
