Islam is the one true religion that was given to Adam and the passed on till the last Prophet, Muhammad (SAW). It is the religion that Allah (swt) has perfected for us, and more than a religion it is also a way of life. Islam is built on five pillars: • Shahadah: Bearing witness that there is no god but Allah (the One God), and that Muhammad is His Messenger. • Salat: Establishing regular prayer • Zakat- Paying the poor-due • Hajj-Making pilgrimage to the House of Allah in Makkah • Sawm- Fasting in the Month Of Ramadan Islam is a very beautiful religion, and it is a great lifestyle as well. All the rules for how to live our lives are in the Quran, Allah's (swt) Book. Those aspects that Allah (swt) didn't emphasize on are then further explained in the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). So we have these two to help us guide us on the right path. There are also six articles of faith in Islam: • One God • The Angels of God • The Books of God • The Prophets of God • The Day of Judgment • Qadr (God's Power)
