Islam is built on five key pillars and six articles of faith:

The Five Pillars of Islam

1. Shahada (Faith) – Declaring belief in One God (Allah) and that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is His Messenger.
2. Salah (Prayer) – Praying five times a day to connect with Allah.
3. Zakat (Charity) – Giving to those in need.
4. Sawm (Fasting) – Observing Ramadan to grow in spirituality.
5. Hajj (Pilgrimage) – Visiting Makkah once in a lifetime (if able).

The Six Articles of Faith

A Muslim believes in:

1. Allah (God) – The One Creator.
2. Angels – Divine beings carrying out Allah’s commands.
3. Holy Books – Including the Quran, Torah, Psalms, and Gospel (in their original forms).
4. Prophets – From Adam to Ibrahim, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace
   be upon them all).
5. The Day of Judgment – When all people will be accountable for their deeds.
6. Divine Decree (Qadr) – Allah’s wisdom in all things.
