• Belief in Allah as the one and only God.

• Belief in angels.

  • Allah rewards and punishes fairly.

  • But Allah is also merciful.

• A believer can approach Allah by praying, and by reciting the Qur'an.
  

• Muslims worship only Allah...

  • because only Allah is worthy of worship.

The One and Only God

All Muslims believe that God is one alone:

• There is only one God.

• God has no children, no parents, and no partners.

• God was not created by a being.

• There are no equal, superior, or lesser Gods.

Huaisheng Mosque

A high wall encloses the mosque, which is dominated by the smooth, white minaret. Rising to 108 feet, it can be climbed using an interior spiral staircase, and the views from the top -- where a muezzin calls the faithful to prayer -- are still spectacular. Below is a gate-tower that was rebuilt in Tang style during the late 17th century, and the main prayer hall, which was refurbished in Ming Dynasty style in 1936. Around the mosque are courtyards and gardens where local Muslims and visitors can rest and meditate. COST: Free. OPEN: Sat.-Thurs. 8-5, except special holy days.
