In Islam, the belief system centers around the worship of one God, Allah, who is both all-powerful and compassionate. Islam teaches that Allah revealed his guidance through a series of prophets, with Muhammad being the final prophet. The holy book of Islam is the Qur'an, which Muslims believe is the literal word of Allah as revealed to Muhammad.
Muslims follow Five Pillars of Islam, which are:
1. **Shahada**: The declaration of faith, stating that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His messenger.
2. **Salah**: The performance of ritual prayers five times a day.
3. **Zakat**: The giving of alms or charity to those in need.
4. **Sawm**: Fasting during the month of Ramadan from dawn until sunset.
5. **Hajj**: The pilgrimage to Mecca that every Muslim must undertake at least once in their lifetime if they are able.
Islamic teachings emphasize ethical conduct, social justice, and the importance of community. The religion also includes various traditions and practices, including dietary laws, modesty in dress, and regular recitation and study of the Qur'an.
