Islam is a major world religion founded on the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, who is considered the final prophet in a line of prophets that includes figures like Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. The core beliefs of Islam are encapsulated in the Five Pillars, which are:
1. **Shahada (Faith)**: The declaration of faith, stating that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His messenger.
2. **Salah (Prayer)**: Performing the five daily prayers facing the Kaaba in Mecca.
3. **Zakat (Charity)**: Giving to those in need and supporting the welfare of the community.
4. **Sawm (Fasting)**: Observing fasting during the month of Ramadan from dawn to sunset.
5. **Hajj (Pilgrimage)**: Making a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in a lifetime if financially and physically able.
Islam emphasizes submission to the will of Allah, ethical conduct, and the importance of community. The Quran, considered the literal word of Allah as revealed to Muhammad, is the primary religious text, supplemented by Hadiths, which are records of Muhammad's sayings and actions.
