The Muslim's outlook on life is shaped by the following beliefs:

• Balance of hope in God's Mercy and fear of His punishment
• I have a noble purpose
• If good happens, be grateful. If bad happens, have patience
• This life is a test and God sees everything I do
• Put my trust in God - nothing happens except by His permission
• Everything I have is from God
• Genuine hope & concern for non-Muslims to be guided
• Focus on what is in my control & try my best
• I will return to God and be accountable
