What is Islam

Islam is a monotheistic religion of peace founded on the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as revealed in the Holy Books of Islam. The followers of Islam are called Muslims and they do not believe in any god but one God. The Five Pillars of Islam are central to a Muslim's belief, faith and practice, including declaration of faith, prayer, fasting during Ramadan, charitable giving, and pilgrimage to Mecca.
