Islamic traditions

Islamic traditions encompass various practices and beliefs based on the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. Fundamental rituals include the Five Pillars of Islam: declaring faith (Shahada), daily prayers (Salah), charitable giving (Zakat), fasting during Ramadan (Sawm), and the pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj). These practices promote spiritual growth, community welfare, and moral discipline. Additionally, cultural customs vary widely among Muslim communities, influenced by local traditions, yet all are united by core Islamic principles such as compassion, justice, and respect for all individuals.
