Islam is a religion of peace that means submission to God. Its core beliefs include the oneness of God, believing in all prophets including Muhammad, and following the five pillars of faith. The five pillars are the declaration of faith, daily prayers, fasting during Ramadan, paying zakat (charity), and performing the hajj pilgrimage if able. The Quran and hadiths provide guidance for Muslims on how to worship God and live according to His commands in all aspects of life.
