is no god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger of God" is
central to Islam. This phrase, written in Arabic, is often prominently
featured in architecture and a range of objects, including
the Qur'an, Islam's holy book of divine revelations. One becomes a
Muslim by reciting this phrase with conviction.
• Obligatory Prayer (salat). Muslims pray facing Mecca five times a
day: at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset, and after dark. 
• Alms / Poor tax (zakat). In accordance with Islamic law, Muslims
donate a fixed portion of their income to community members in
need.

ISLAM

The five pillars – the declaration of faith

(shahada), prayer (salah), alms-giving
(zakat), fasting (sawm) and pilgrimage
(hajj) – constitute the basic norms of
Islamic practice. They are accepted by
Muslims globally irrespective of ethnic,
regional or sectarian differences.
Polygamy in Islamic Religion
• Polygamy is permitted for many social reasons. However it is by
permission and not an obligation or recommendation in the Quran
that a Muslim male should indulge in polygamy. at the time of the
Prophet Mohamed (Peace upon Him) it was because thousands of
Muslim men died in wars
• Muslim supporters of polygamy often cite Quran verse 4:3, which
instructs men to take as many wives as they can take care of, up to
four, and they also point out that the Prophet Muhammad had
multiple wives
• Muslim societies allow for up to four wives, but not without specific
rules and regulations.
•The Islamic Calendar is composed of 12 lunar months of between 29 and 30
days. A year in the Islamic calendar constitutes a total of 354 days. The
difference between the solar and the lunar calendar is adjusted by adding one
day to the last month of the year 11 times each 30 years.
Beliefs/Doctrines
• Every individual must make
themselves aware of these truths
as the foundation of their faith.
Usul ad-Din, the five roots of
religion, can also be referred to
as the 'foundation of faith'. They

Justice of God (Adl or Adalah),
Prophethood (Nubuwwah),
Leadership (Imamat),
Resurrection (Qayamat).
