The Qur'an is the holy book for Muslims, revealed in stages to the Prophet
Muhammad over 23 years. It is a duty for Muslims to read the Qur’an daily
The five most important parts to Muslim worship are called the FIVE PILLARS OF ISLAM. Imagine these to be five pillars
which hold up the ‘building’ of Islam
The simplest form of Muslim beliefs is summarised in the Declaration of Faith
(pictured): "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah".

Muslims are supposed to pray five times a day either in the mosque or on a prayer mat or clean place. The times are set
throughout the day.
Muslims are supposed to give 2.5% of their yearly income to charity to help the poor and is seen as an offering to Allah. All Muslims who have some savings must give zakah or it would be seen as cheating Allah
