Islam is based on fine believes. These are called the five pillars of Islam. The first belief is that there is no god but Allah, and that Mohammad (Peace be upon him) is his messenger. The second is that a Muslim must pray five times a day at certain times, the third is that a Muslim give a percentage of his/her savings to the poor. The fourth is to take fast in Ramadan. The fifth is that all Muslims, who are able, should perform Hajj (pilgrimage of Kaba) at least once in their life.
The literal meaning of Islam is Peace. The message of Islam revealed through Gabriel (on whom be peace), and was thus preserved in the holy Quran. The prime message of Islam is the unity of god, that he is the creator of the world, that is one and alone, worthy of worship and that Mohammad (peace be upon him) is his messenger.
Today Islam is the fastest growing faith in the world. Its beautiful message is reaching millions in the far corner of the earth. Islam is a good and complete faith.
