Text of the page (random words):
s no less than 99 names for god and each of these names defines one attribute one breaks this principle for example by believing in an idol as an intercessor to god the idol in this case is thought of having powers that only god should have thereby breaking this part of tawheed no intercession is required to communicate with or worship god 26 tawḥīdu l ulūhiyya arabic تَوْحيدُ الأُلوهيَّة directing worship prayer or deed to god and god only for example worshiping an idol or any saint or prophet is also considered shirk islam is built on five principles acts of worship that islam teaches to be mandatory not performing the mandatory acts of worship may deprive muslims of the chance of salvation 27 according to ibn umar muhammad said that islam is based on the following five principles 28 to testify that none has the right to be worshipped but allah and muhammad is allah s messenger to offer the compulsory prayers dutifully and perfectly to pay zakat to poor and needy i e obligatory charity of 2 5 annually of surplus wealth to perform hajj i e pilgrimage to mecca to observe fast during the month of ramadhan islam also stresses that in order to gain salvation one must avoid sin and perform good deeds islam acknowledges the inclination of humanity towards sin 29 30 therefore muslims are constantly commanded to seek god s forgiveness and repent islam teaches that no one can gain salvation simply by virtue of their belief or deeds but by the mercy of god however repentance must not be used to sin any further islam teaches that god is merciful allah only accepts the repentance of those who commit evil ignorantly or recklessly then repent soon after allah will pardon them and allah is all knowing all wise surah an nisa 4 17 indeed allah does not forgive associating others with him in worship but forgives anything else of whoever he wills and whoever associates others with allah has indeed committed a grave sin surah an nisa 4 48 islam describes a true believer to have love of god and fear of god islam also teaches that every person is responsible for their own sins the quran states if you disbelieve then know that allah is truly not in need of you nor does he approve of disbelief from his servants but if you become grateful through faith he will appreciate that from you no soul burdened with sin will bear the burden of another then to your lord is your return and he will inform you of what you used to do he certainly knows best what is hidden in the heart surah az zumar 39 7 al agharr al muzani who was from amongst the companions of muhammad reported that ibn umar stated to him that allah s messenger said o people seek repentance from allah verily i seek repentance from him a hundred times a day sahih muslim 2702b sin in islam is an action a bad deed not a state islam teaches that a child is born sinless regardless of the belief of their parents dies a muslim and enters heaven and does not enter hell 31 narrated aisha the prophet said do good deeds properly sincerely and moderately and receive good news because one s good deeds will not make him enter paradise they asked even you o allah s messenger he said even i unless and until allah bestows his pardon and mercy on me sahih al bukhari 6467 latter day saints edit main article plan of salvation latter day saints according to doctrine of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints the plan of salvation is god s plan to save redeem and exalt all humankind who chose either in this life or in the world of spirits of the dead to accept the grace of jesus christ by faith in him repenting of their sins and by making and keeping sacred covenants including baptism since most people die without doing these things the lds preaches to them that if they accept christ sincerely repent of their sins and accept ordinances done on their behalf they can receive salvation on the same terms as the living members of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints do vicarious work for the dead in sacred temples drawing from various sources including the bible 32 book of mormon doctrine covenants pearl of great price and statements by lds leaders indian religions edit main articles moksha nirvana and enlightenment in buddhism hinduism buddhism jainism and sikhism share certain key concepts which are interpreted differently by different groups and individuals 33 in these religions one is not liberated from sin and its consequences but from the saṃsāra cycle of rebirth perpetuated by passions and delusions and its resulting karma 34 they differ however on the exact nature of this liberation 34 salvation is always self attained in indian religions and a more appropriate term would be moksha liberation 34 or mukti release this state and the conditions considered necessary for its realization is described in early texts of indian religion such as the upanishads and the pāli canon and later texts such the yoga sutras of patanjali and the vedanta tradition 35 moksha can be attained by sādhanā literally means of accomplishing something 36 it includes a variety of disciplines such as yoga and dhyana meditation nirvana is the profound peace of mind that is acquired with moksha in buddhism and jainism it is the state of being free from suffering in hindu philosophy it is union with the brahman supreme being the word literally means
