The Teaching of Islam

Islam is a monotheistic faith centered on belief in one God (Allah) and following His guidance through the Quran, the holy book, and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. It emphasizes compassion, justice, charity, and honesty. Muslims practice five core acts: faith (shahada), prayer (salat), fasting during Ramadan (sawm), giving to charity (zakat), and making a pilgrimage to Mecca (hajj). Islam encourages community, moral integrity, and personal development, aiming to foster a harmonious relationship with God and fellow humans. Its teachings guide everyday life and promote peace, respect, and spiritual growth.
