Seriously, you can find most of this information on the Wikipedia or Religious Tolerance websites. It would be alto easier for you to research each one individually then for any of us to outline the specifics of each one of them.
Wait a minute, you wouldn't be Christian, would you? What with wanting all the answers conveniently handed to you in a neat little package instead of doing your own hard work?
All religions are open to interpretation, so any answers you get are simply what others think instead of your own personal truths about them.
If you are truly interested, spend the time to learn them. I knew of a person that decided to spend one year following a different religion each time to truly understand them, and such a journey would make you very wise indeed!
Back in my day dingbat, we got on our computers and searched up info for school reports ourselves. That was back in the day when monitor tubes were still made of glass and they took up 1/3 of the space on your desk. And we didn't have USB drives yet either! We had piles and piles of 3 1/2" floppy disks. It might have taken a few of them to hold all your stuff. When we wanted to stay in touch with our friends, we called them on a phone, we didn't have that MySpace where all of you have pages full of photos of you waving your planners and flashing your ta-Ta's either. Kids today are lazy.
There are many truths and many untruths contained in all the mentioned beliefs and it would take years to explain what you asked. To tell you my opinion would not help you anyway you must investigate truth on your own and with your own heart and mind.
Belief : there is One God no is is partner in Anyway ...
there are Five Pillars of Islam ... or five things that are a must in Islam ...
~~~First is to except the Oneness of God (Allah) The belief of a Muslim is summarized in the declaration of faith known as the Kalina (meaning: a word) and this is:
Laa aloha Alanalahaammadur-Rasoolullaah
'There is nothing which has the right to be worshiped except Allaah[1] (alone) and Muhammad is His Last Messenger."
~~~Second Prayers that are performed Five times a day Called Salaat ... you bow in front of God ... Five times a day Declairing your submission to him ... Muslim Face towards the direction Of Makkah Women we Pray at home and at Mosque or anywhere when it is time to pray we leave everything to Pray no matter where we are other then few exception ...
~~~Third fast in the Months of Ramadan for 30 or 29 days depending on the Lunar sitings... Muslims follow the Lunar calender not the Solar one ...
~~~Fourth to give charity to the poor or needy
~~~Fifth If rich enough do a pilgrim to Makkah once in a life time ...
