Core Tenets
Islam is founded upon a sacred framework of belief, worship, and moral integrity. At its heart lie the Five Pillars — the foundation of a Muslim’s faith and practice: the declaration of faith (Shahada), the five daily prayers (Salat), almsgiving to those in need (Zakat), fasting in the blessed month of Ramadan (Sawm), and the pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj) for those who are able.

Beliefs
At the core of Islamic belief is Tawhid — the absolute oneness of Allah. Muslims believe the Qur’an is the literal word of God, revealed to the final messenger, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Islam honors a long line of prophets, including Adam, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus (peace be upon them all), who conveyed the same divine message of monotheism and righteousness.

Guidance for Life
Islam offers a comprehensive way of life, guiding believers in their spiritual, personal, and social conduct. The Qur’an and the Hadith — the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) — serve as the primary sources of wisdom and guidance, shaping every aspect of a Muslim’s journey.

Values and Ethics
Compassion, justice, humility, and generosity lie at the heart of Islamic values. Muslims are called to embody honesty, kindness, and integrity, striving to uphold the dignity and well-being of every individual.

Community and Brotherhood
The global Muslim Ummah is united by a shared faith and commitment to mutual support. Community service, charity, and the pursuit of social justice are not only encouraged but are essential expressions of Islamic faith.

Interfaith Understanding
Islam promotes respect, dialogue, and peaceful coexistence with people of all faiths. It upholds the dignity of human diversity and calls for sincere engagement rooted in mutual understanding and compassion.
