Shahada
Muslims believe that there is only one god called
Allah. Allah sent an angel,Gabriel To a man named
Muhammad who lived in saudi Arabia. The angel
told Muhammad That allah wanted to teach others.
There are no pictures or statues of Allah or the
prophet muhammad inside a mosque. Instead the
walls and ceilings are decorated with beautiful
patterns and writing.
Shahada is the main belief for muslim people
because it shows their faith. People say that the
english words are there is no god but Allah
muhammad is allahs Messenger .But other Muslims
believe that it is right to say that there is no
god but the one god Allah . The meaning is one
god for mankind.

Zakat
This is about looking after other people . Each
Muslim has an amount of money to give each year
. The word Zakat means to purify or cleanse. As a
person gives up money to charity they become
cleansed from their selfishness and greed . This
money provides education and is used for building
mosques and helps the needy
