#Prayer
2.Prayer *Salah*
Muslims perform five prayers a day. Each prayer does not take more than a few minutes to perform. Prayer in Islam is a direct link between the worshipper and God. There are no intermediaries between God and the worshipper.
In prayer, a person feels inner happiness, peace, and comfort, and that God is pleased with him or her.
#الزكاة
#Giving_Zakat
3. Zakat
All things belong to God, and wealth is therefore held by human beings in trust.
The original meaning of the word zakat is both ‘purification’ and ‘growth.’ Giving zakat means ‘giving a specified percentage on certain properties to certain classes of needy people.’
The percentage which is due on gold, silver, and cash funds that have reached the amount of about 85 grams of gold and held in possession for one lunar year is two and a half percent.
Our possessions are purified by setting aside a small portion for those in need, and, like the pruning of plants, this cutting back balances and encourages new growth.
A person may also give as much as he or she pleases as voluntary alms or charity.

#Fasting_the_month_of_Ramadan
4. Fasting the month of Ramadan
Every year in the month of Ramadan,all Muslims fast from dawn until sundown, abstaining from food, drink, and sexual relations.
Although the fast is beneficial to health, it is regarded principally as a method of spiritual self-purification. By cutting oneself off from worldly comforts, even for a short time, a fasting person gains true sympathy with those who go hungry, as well as growth in his or her spiritual life.

#The_Pilgrimage_to_Makkah
5. Pilgrimage
The annual pilgrimage (Hajj) to Makkah is an obligation once in a lifetime for those who are physically and financially able to perform it. About two million people go to Makkah each year from every corner of the globe.
Although Makkah is always filled with visitors, the annual Hajj is performed in the twelfth month of the Islamic calendar.
Male pilgrims wear special simple clothes which strip away distinctions of class and culture so that all stand equal before God.
Pilgrims praying at the Haram mosque in Makkah. In this mosque is the Kaaba (the black building in the picture) which Muslims turn toward when praying. The Kaaba is the place of worship which God commanded the Prophets Abraham and his son, Ishmael, to build

#This_is_islam
This is Islam ??
The only successful people on the day of judgment are those people who believe in the one true God alone and submit to his true teachings. so its v important that each one of us make sure before he or she dies, that he is not following blindly a fake faith, but must investigate and make sure to worship the true God and obeying his true teachings .
the reward for this is paradise which is eternal physical life of enjoyment,, while those who lose the true faith will live in eternal loss and punishment after the judgment day.

2.-To believe that there are angels who are beings of light who were created to worship and obey God always .
3.- To believe that God has revealed divine books over time, for their creation all contained at the time nothing but the truth a message of one God. books like the Torah revealed to the prophet Moses, the gospel revealed to the prophet Jesus, the psalms revealed to the prophet David, and the last of his books with which he perfected religion for humanity The Qur'an revealed to the last of his prophets, Muhammad.

#مقدمة_عن_القرآن
Every prophet had a miracle to convince his people with his prophecy .
Like Moses stick
Or Jesus healing the sick by permission of God .
But all these miracles ended with prophet's departure .
Except the last miracle with the last prophet Muhammed ..
Do you know what it is ?
#القرآن The Quran
What is the Quran ?
Its the last miracle , the Quran which is the last God words revealed to humankind .
This message , the Quran gives life to people who are spiritually dead . Coz it makes you spiritually alive connecting you with the creator.
It was revealed to Prophet Muhammed peace be upon him by Angel Gabriel.
The Quran is not only unique in the way in which it presents its subject matter, but it is also unique in that it is a miracle itself.
The Quran is a book detailing the glory of God and the wonder
of His creation; it is also a testament to His Mercy and Justice.
The Quran is God’s
greatest gift to humanity – it is a book like no other, for it contains
the answers to the mysteries of life.
??Where I came from , what happens after death , the purpose of life ...
It provides guidance on every aspect of human life, from economics and the ethics of trade to marriage, divorce, gender issues, inheritance and parenting.
Its a miracle in many ways.
By the term “miracle,” we mean the performance of a supernatural or extraordinary event which cannot be duplicated by humans.
1.Quran Is free from any errors or contradictions, despite it being revealed over a period of 23 years.
It Is preserved, word-for-word, since it was revealed in its original Arabic language, unlike other scriptures which have been distorted, changed or lost.
When God revealed the Quran, He promised to preserve it.
The words we read today are the same as those memorised and
written down by the companions of Prophet Muhammad.
“It is We Who have sent down the remembrance (i.e. the
Quran) and surely, We will guard it from corruption.” (Quran
15:9)
Thus it is the most important book and Muslims have no doubt
that it is exactly the same today as it was when it was first revealed
to Prophet Muhammad, may God praise him.
It is not only preserved in its written form , but it is also memorized by millions of muslims all around the world .
The Quran is 600 pages and you can see non speaking arab muslims and they memorize all of Quran by heart.
And children start memorizing it by the age of 2 .
Allah said in Quran :
54:17
And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?
2.Another miracle is that its a challenge
Allah challenged the Arabs and all mankind to produce a literary work of a similar caliber as the Quran,
but they were unable to do so in spite of their well-known eloquence and literary powers.
The challenge is still open and no one will ever win it .
Quran
17:88
Say, "If mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like of it, even if they were to each other assistants."
3.Another miracle which astonished people now is that it describes signs of God's existence in the universe and how everything is carefully placed in the total scheme of creation.
It contains many scientific facts that were only discovered few years ago , like about embryo formation in details that has astonished all scientists how its mentioned like this from 1400 years ago .
Or like the beginning of creation of the universe known as Big bang ...
