Belief-Shahada

• Muslims belief that there is only one god, Allah
  and his messenger, Muhammad. They have 99 names
  for Allah. Anyone who says these words and means
  it can become a Muslim.

Prayer - Salah

• Where do they pray
• Prayers can be said anywhere so long as its
  clean and quiet. On Fridays Muslims try to go to
  the Mosque for mid-day prayer. In many Muslim
  countries Friday is a holiday. Only a few shops
  are open and there only open at early morning and
  evening. Muslim woman usually pray at home but if
  they do go to the Mosque they sit at the back or
  in the gallery.
• Wudu
• Before praying Muslims must wash themselves. This
  washing is called Wudu. As they
• pray, they kneel, muslim kneel and bow to show
  they are humble.
• When to pray
• Muslims are supposed to pray five times a day,
  facing Mecca, where ever they are in the world.
  These times are Fagr-morning, between dawn and
  sunrise, Zuhr-mid-day or early afternoon, Asr-
  late afternoon, Maghrib- evening, around sunset,
  Isah- night, before going to bed.

Zakat- giving to charity

• This is about looking after other people. Each
  Muslim gives up a share of his money each year to
  provide for those less fortunate. The word Zakat
  means to cleanse. As the person gives up a share
  his or her money they become cleansed from
  selfishness and greed. This money will be to
  provide education, keep up or build mosques or
  help the needy.

Pilgrimage Hajj

• All muslims have a duty to try to make a
  pilgrimage to Mecca at least once during their
  lifetime. Very often the whole family saves up to
  send one person at a time. The men who make the
  pilgrimage wears a ihram which is made up of
  two sheets. They must not be sewn. Also wear
  special open shoes. This clothing is a symbol of
  peace and obedience to God. The pilgrimage
  follows a set pattern.

6
Saum Fasting in Ramadam

• This is all about Ramadam. The ninth month of the
  Islam calendar. Its special because it is when
  Muhammad (Pbuh) began receiving the message from
  God. For thirty days Muslim fast, they do not eat
  or drink during daylight hours. It starts when
  the new moon it seen again at the end of the
  month. The fast is to remind them how difficult
  it is to be poor, hungry and to live in a hot
  place. It reminds them to thank God for his gift
  of the Quran also serves to make them think
  about the luxuries of life so not to be greedy.
