What is Islam?

Islam, which means “submission to the will of God,” is a faith built on the foundation of peace, compassion, and justice. Muslims believe in one God (Allah) and follow the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), who was the final messenger of God.

The core tenets of Islam are rooted in five fundamental pillars:

1. Shahada (Faith): Declaring that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His messenger.
2. Salah (Prayer): Establishing regular prayer five times a day to connect with Allah.
3. Zakat (Charity): Giving to those in need to purify wealth and foster equality.
4. Sawm (Fasting): Observing fasting during the month of Ramadan to build self-discipline and spiritual growth.
5. Hajj (Pilgrimage): Performing the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in a lifetime if physically and financially able.

Discovering the Faith

Islam provides guidance for all aspects of life, from ethics and morality to family and community. Its teachings promote respect for others, kindness, and a commitment to social justice. At its heart, Islam emphasises the worship of Allah and the cultivation of a direct relationship with Him.
