The Muslim faith
centers on five beliefs and practices. These are known as the five
pillars of Islam. According to the five pillars, Muslims must
Accept that only one God exists and Muhammad was his messenger.
-
Perform certain prayers five times a day.
-
Fast from dawn to dusk during a month called Ramadan.
-
Give a portion of their wealth to the poor.
-
Visit Mecca at least once if they are able to.
These
practices are based on the holy book of Islam, the Qur’an (also spelled
Koran). Muslims believe that the Qur’an is the word of God, delivered
through Muhammad. Muslim practices are also based on the
Hadith—Muhammad’s own deeds and sayings as reported by his companions.
