Common errors in English: usage of Believe.

Believe (= to have faith)

Incorrect: Muslims believe at/to Allah. 

Correct : Muslims believe in Allah.

Incorrect : I don't believe at astrology. 

Correct : I don't believe in astrology.

Note: The verb ‘believe’ without any preposition means ‘to consider someone or something to be true'. 
For example:
I don't believe you. 
I quite believe what you are saying.

This is a stative verb and so it is not used in progressive forms.

Incorrect: I am not believing you. 
Correct : I believe you.
