Concept of Sin In Islam, sin is to act contrary to an established list of prescribed or forbidden actions. Sins are categorised in Islam. People are originally good by nature. Their duty is to strive so their ‘work account’ will always show more good actions than bad ones. Mankind is not desperate to the point of looking for a redeemer. It is the duty of people to save themselves.

Concept of Prayer For Muslims, prayer is a duty required by God. It looks like God is benefiting from it. Everything about the Muslim prayer has been established: language, words to repeat, rituals. At five fixed times a day. The worshiper is just a slave of God (Abd Allah), serving a powerful and distant master. There is possibility of free prayers, but it is not used very much by Muslims.
