Hello alexalbert123

Welcome to Islamicity. Wishing you a very happy stay with us here.

Coming to your question of Islam, here's a sharing from Islamreligion-com. I hope you shall find it worthy.

Among the blessings and favors that God has bestowed upon humanity is that He endowed them with an innate ability to recognize and acknowledge His existence. He placed this awareness deep in their hearts as a natural disposition that has not changed since human beings were first created. Furthermore, He reinforced this natural disposition with the signs that he placed in Creation that testify to His existence. However, since it is not possible for human beings to have a detailed knowledge of God except through revelation from Himself, God sent His Messengers to teach the people about their Creator Who they must worship. These Messengers also brought with them the details of how to worship God, because such details cannot be known except by way of revelation. These two fundamentals were the most important things that the Messengers of all the divine revelations brought with them from God. On this basis, all the divine revelations have had the same lofty objectives, which are:

1.    To affirm the Oneness of God - the praised and glorified Creator � in His essence and His attributes.

2.    To affirm that God alone should be worshipped and that no other being should be worshipped along with Him or instead of Him.

3.    To safeguard human welfare and oppose corruption and evil. Thus, everything that safeguards faith, life, reason, wealth and lineage are part of this human welfare that religion protects. On the other hand, anything that endangers these five universal needs is a form of corruption that religion opposes and prohibits.

4.    To invite the people to the highest level of virtue, moral values, and noble customs.

The ultimate goal of every Divine Message has always been the same: to guide the people to God, to make them aware of Him, and to have them worship Him alone. Each Divine Message came to strengthen this meaning, and the following words were repeated on the tongues of all the Messengers: �Worship God, you have no god other than Him.� This message was conveyed to humanity by prophets and messengers which God sent to every nation. All of these messengers came with this same message, the message of Islam.

All the Divine Messages came to bring the life of the people into willing submission to God. For this reason, they all share the name of �Islam�, or �submission� derived from the same word as �Salam�, or �peace�, in Arabic. Islam, in this sense, was the religion of all the prophets, but why does one see different variations of the religion of God if they all emanated from the same source? The answer is twofold.   

The first reason is that as a result of the passage of time, and due to the fact that previous religions were not under the Divine protection of God, they underwent much change and variation. As a result, we see that the fundamental truths which were brought by all messengers now differ from one religion to another, the most apparent being the strict tenet of the belief and worship of God and God alone.

The second reason for this variation is that God, in His infinite Wisdom and eternal Will, decreed that all the divine missions prior to the final message of Islam brought by Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, be limited to a specific time frame. As a result, their laws and methodologies dealt with the specific conditions of the people whom they had been sent to address.

Humanity has passed through numerous periods of guidance, misguidance, integrity, and deviation, from the most primitive age to the heights of civilization. Divine guidance accompanied humanity through all of this, always providing the appropriate solutions and remedies.

This was the essence of the disparity that existed between the different religions. This disagreement never went beyond the particulars of the Divine Law. Each manifestation of the Law addressed the particular problems of the people it was meant for. However, the areas of agreement were significant and many, such as fundamentals of faith; the basic principles and objectives of the Divine Law, such as protecting faith, life, reason, wealth, and lineage and establishing justice in the land; and certain fundamental prohibitions, some of the most important of these being idolatry, fornication, murder, theft, and giving false witness. Moreover, they also agreed upon moral virtues like honesty, justice, charity, kindness, chastity, righteousness, and mercy. These principles as well as others are permanent and lasting; they are the essence of all the Divine Messages and bind them all together.

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: �All the descendants of Adam are sinners, and the best of sinners are those who repent."

And to your next question, how muslims pray God ---

Muslims worship five times a day: at daybreak, noon, mid afternoon, sunset, and evening. It helps keep believers mindful of God in the stress of work and family. It resets the spiritual focus, reaffirms total dependence on God, and puts worldly concerns within the perspective of the last judgment and the afterlife. The prayers consist of standing, bowing, kneeling, putting the forehead on the ground, and sitting. The Prayer is a means in which a relationship between God and His creation is maintained. It includes recitations from the Quran, praises of God, prayers for forgiveness and other various supplications. The prayer is an expression of submission, humility, and adoration of God. Prayers can be offered in any clean place, alone or together, in a mosque or at home, at work or on the road, indoors or out.

By the way, Allah said in the Holy Qur'an: "Remember Me and I will remember you." [2:152]

In a Hadith Qudsi narrated that Allah the Almighty and Majestic says:

I am with My slave when he remembers Me
and till his lips move while remembering Me.

Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAll�hu 'anhu]: The Prophet [sal-All�hu 'alayhi wa sallam] said,

"All�h [Subh�nahu wa Ta'�la] says, 'I am just as My slave thinks I am, (i.e. I am Able to do for him what he thinks I can do for him) and I am with him if he remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I too, remember him in Myself; and if he remembers Me in a group of people, I remember him in a group that is better than them; and if he comes one span nearer to Me, I go one cubit nearer to him; and if he comes one cubit nearer to Me, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.' "

[Sahih Al-Bukh�ri, 9/7405 (O.P.502)].

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: �All the descendants of Adam are sinners, and the best of sinners are those who repent."

I just want to say to Alexa if you want to learn about Islam learn it from true moslems, because many people learn about Islam from not responsible source so they get wrong information about Islam. this forum is a good forum. but you need have a care to find that information from internet. because many site it's seem Islamic forum, but the truth it is not. just  like if you want to learn Quran our holy "the way of life" on internet find it here do not use any search engine because if you do so i am afraid you will go to extremely wrong place. i think i don't have to mention that kind of site.
hope it help

see post  'God's cause" in Quran and sunnah section, you might be doing everything including believing in one God and prophet Muhammad {pbuh}and yet not be a muslim if you are not on God's cause. even satan believes God is one and Muhammad {pbuh} is his prophet. anything in God's cause is worship, anything outside God's cause - be it even salat, sawm, hajj etc.is not worship.
May God guide all.
The whole world is like Hazrat Umar but no one is like his sister and brother in law.

Assalamu 'alaikum Alexa,
Sorry, my english not good enought. First of all, What are you looking for in Islam? Islam offer same hell and heaven like the other.There is no guarantee you'll be in heaven.
You must ask your self intensively....there are many kind of Islam. But most of all of them are wrong.
be carefull and be wise, you must study it carefully.
And I am sure finally you'll find what Islam is.
If you really really really want to know about Islam...looking into your self, think about your self. respect your parents...you'll find Islam.
