innovation          بدعـــه
The term bid'ah linguistically means 'innovation'. It is any saying or action which has been falsely attributed to the Messenger Muhammad (saw) and his Companions (ra). Bid'ah is one of the negations of Islam, and those who knowingly innovate any matter in the Deen will be prevented from having intercession from the Messenger of Allah (saw). Those who regularly commit bid'ah are known as Ahl ul-Bid'ah (the people of bid'ah), and this term can be applied to many deviant sects nowadays, such as the Sufis.

Iqamat as-salat   اقامة الصلاه
Performing the Salat in a perfect manner. This is understood by most Muslims as having only one meaning, but it has two:
1.    Performing the prayer in exactly the same manner as the Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to pray. see Sahih Bukhari, Hadith 737, boook 12, Vol.1.
2.    Establishing the prayer Every person in a Muslim society who is seven years old or more must pray - women in their houses and men in the Masajid (mosques). Every head, be he head of the family or chief of the town, will be held responsible for the missed Fard prayers of those under him, as well as his own.

Isa, peace be upon him    عيسى عليه السلام
One of the greatest prophets and messengers of Islam. He is also known as Isa ibn Mariam (Jesus, Son of Mary) and Isa al-Maseeh (Jesus the Messiah, Jesus Christ). The Jews and the Christians have both blasphemed against the Prophet Isa, peace be on him. The Jews reject him completely, whilst the Christians have elevated him to the level of Allah and/or Son of Allah. 

The concept of such divinity is rejected in the Bible by the Prophet Isa himself (in pans of the Bible which have not yet been altered)
1.    According to 1 Timothy 2:5, "There is One God, and one mediator between God and men, the 'MAN' Christ Jesus." Notice the words" man" and "mediator". Are the Christians trying to say that Allah is the mediator and that the Bible is wrong? Do they not realize that Allah is so supreme in glory that He does not mediate? Ask the Christians how else they can explain this verse. Warn them that Allah's wrath will be on those who know-ingly hide or avoid the Divine Truth.
2.    According to Matthew 24:36, Jesus, peace be on him, has no knowledge of the time of the Hour. Are the Christian strying to say that Allah lacks knowledge?
3.    According to Matthew 14:23, Jesus, peace be on him, went into the hills to pray. Are the Christians trying to say that Allah needs to pray, and if so, then to whom?
4.    "But in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines commandments of men." Matthew 15:9. Isa himself confirmed the prophecy of Isaiah that the people would worship him in vain and believe in doctrines made by men. The truth is that Jesus, peace be on him, spoke the truth, but it is the Christians who, in his name, have invented lies against him. Allah is One. He did not beget nor was He begotten. See Mursaleen .

Isaac. A prophet of Islam. He was the second son of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), peace be on him. He was thirteen years younger than his brother, the Prophet Ismael (Ishmael), peace be on him.

Islam                      الاســـــــــــــلام
•    Literally means "submission to the will of Allah". It is for this reason that Allah Himself names His life transaction "al-Islam" and describes all the followers of this way of life, in every age, as "Muslims".
•    The life transaction of Allah has five pillars, all of which must be strictly adhered to in word, deed and sincere belief. 

The five pillars of Islam are as follows:
1.    Shahadatain. Bearing witness. All Muslims must believe in and utter the Shahadatain.
    First Shahada: Ash-hadu an la illaha illa l'lah. (I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah.)
    Second Shahada: Ash-hadu anna Muhammadar Rasoolullah. (I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.)
2.    Salat. Prayers. To do all the five compulsory daily prayers regularly in the exact manner as was practised by the Holy Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.
3.    Seeaam. Fasting. Also spelled as Saum. To fast in the month of Ramadan.
4.    Zakat. Wealth tax. To pay 2.5% of one's yearly savings above a certain amount to the poor and needy Muslims. The Zakat is compulsory on all Muslims who have saved (at least) the equivalent of 85g of 24 carat gold at the time when the annual Zakat payment is due. Zakat is also due on other things such as silver, animals, crops, etc. For a full explanation on Zakat refer to the relevant books written on the subject.
5.    Hajj. Pilgrimage. To perform the pilgrimage to the Holy City of Makkah at least once in one's lifetime (if one is able to afford it). See Holy Qur' an,Al-Maida (5):3.
