What is Islam?

Islam is faith in one God, Allah in Arabic. Muslims believe the Quran is the word of God, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, and follow his example, the Sunnah. Islam has five pillars: the declaration of faith, prayer five times a day, zakat, fasting in Ramadan, and the pilgrimage to Mecca for those who are able.
