| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Faith/Shahada | Believing that Allah is the only god and that Muhammad is a prophet and the messenger of Allah. |
| Prayer/Salah | To pray five times a day towards the city of Mecca: Before Sunrise, Early Afternoon, Late Afternoon, After Sunset, and Night. This is because the Qu'ran states it and it creates a unified point. |
| Almsgiving/Zakat | To give a part of your personal wealth (about 2.5%) to help people in need within the Muslim community. |
| Fasting/Sawm | During the month of Ramadan, Muslims must give up food and drink during the daylight hours. This gives honor to Allah; in the Qu'ran, it states that fasting is a sign of obedience and worship. |
| Pilgrimage/Hajj | To perform a pilgrimage to Makkah/Mecca at least once in a lifetime to honor Muhammad's journey to Mecca where he established the first Muslim community. |
