Allah is the sole Creator and Sustainer of everything. This makes Him the only one deserving of our wor-ship. It’s really that simple. Supplication, for example, is an act of worship, where individuals direct their hearts to Allah and specify to Him their needs. Allah has instructed us to call upon Him:{And your Lord says: Call upon Me; I will respond to you...}(Quran 40: 60).
Since man’s knowledge and understanding is limited only to the tangible world in which he lives, there is no need for him to comprehend the unseen world; except in matters that would lead him to knowing the greatness of his Creator and bring closer to His pleasure and reward. For this reason, Allah, the Exalted, sent Messengers to mankind continuously and He gave them knowledge of the unseen world such that the goodness of man could be attained.

Belief in certain prophets who God chose to relay His message to humans is a required article of Islamic faith. Muslims believe in those prophets mentioned by name in Islamic sources, such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, David, Solomon, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, to name a few.
Muslims believe that Allah revealed heavenly books to His messengers to convey them to mankind.These books call people to worship Allah alone & Quran is the last book that confirms the message of Tawheed.
The word "Islam" means peace and submission. Peace means to be at peace with yourself and your surroundings and submission means submission to the will of God. A broader meaning of the word "Islam" is to achieve peace by submitting to the will of God.
This is a unique religion with a name which signifies a moral attitude and a way of life. Judaism takes its name from the tribe of Juda, Christianity from Jesus Christ, Buddhism from Goutam Buddha and Hinduism from Indus River. However, Muslims derive their identity from the message of Islam, rather than the person of Muhammed (Pbuh), thus should not be called "Muhammadans".
Allah is the Arabic word for "one God". Allah is not God of Muslims only. He is God of all creations, because He is their Creator and Sustainer.
The word "Muslim" means one who submits to the will of God. This is done by declaring that "there is no god except one God and Muhammad is the messenger of God." In a broader sense, anyone who willingly submits to the will of God is a Muslim. Thus, all the prophets preceding the prophet Muhammad are considered Muslims. The Quran specifically mentions Abraham who lived long before Moses and Christ that, "he was not a Jew or a Christian but a Muslim," because, he had submitted to the will of God. Thus there are Muslims who are not submitting at all to the will of God and there are Muslims who are doing their best to live an Islamic life. One cannot judge Islam by looking at those individuals who have a Muslim name but in their actions, they are not living or behaving as Muslims. The extent of being a Muslim can be according to the degree to which one is submitting to the will of God, in his beliefs and his actions.
