Isalm – Main Teachings

The basic essentials in “The Practice of Islam” are summed up in the five pillars of faith which are:

1. There is only one God Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.
2. Prayer[Namaz] is the duty of every Muslim. The prescribed prayers five times daily must be observed.
3. Keeping Fast during the month of Ramadaan from morning to dusk is a duty for all
4. The giving of charity to the need (Zakat) is a religious duty
5. If possible, he must go on a pilgrimage[Haj] to Mecca atleast once in his lifetime
