________________ Path of Attainment - Islam Total submission to Allah is the single path to salvation, and even that is no guarantee, for Allah may desire even a faithful soul to experience misery. The good Muslim surrenders all pride, sins, and follows explicitly the will of Allah as revealed in the Qur'an. This and this alone brings a full and meaningful life and avoids the terrors of hell, which befalls sinners and infidels. The virtues of truthfulness, temperance and humility before God are foremost for Islam, and the practices of fasting, pilgrimage, prayer and charity are most necessary to please Allah. Muslims believe in the Six Articles of Faith and observe the Five Pillars.
