Salam;

We need to work on developing a common standard outline of Islam as talking points.    

To build a common platform for Muslims of all denominations, we may have to  revise it to reflect their priorities. It comes with the humility that all have the same rights, and of course, Allah loves those who are not arrogant.

Please share your ideas, and how you would rank the items in core values and concepts, and what would you add, substitute or remove.

CORE VALUES

1. Mercy
2. Justice
3. Humility
4. Truthfulness
5. Accountability

PATHWAYS

1. Pledge
2. Prayers
3. Fasting
4. Zakat
5. Hajj

IDEAL SOCIETIES

1. Oneness of God
2. Respecting the otherness of others
3. Conflict Mitigation
4. Service to humanity
5. Cohesive Societies
6. Freedom

OPTIONAL ITEMS TO SUIT DENOMINATIONS

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

You are welcome to join the group World Muslim Congress by sending an email to: WorldMuslimCongress-Subscribe@yahoogroups.com . It is a moderated group focused on living the God given life with fellow humanity, and reflecting the model Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had created in Madinah.

By the way, I have been using this outline for a few years to talk about Islam with the same subject line “Islam in a nutshell”.
