Major practices/Duties of Muslims

Muslims are asked to put their beliefs into practice by performing certain acts of
worship. As in all faiths, since adherence to religious obligations and practices is a
matter of individual choice, some people are very strict in performing these duties,
while others are not.

The five pillars or acts of worship in Islam
The Declaration of Faith (shahada): The first act of worship is the declaration
that "There is no deity except God and Muhammad (PBUH) is the messenger of
God." Muslims repeat this statement many times a day during their prayers. If
someone wants to become a Muslim, he or she makes this profession of faith as
an entry into Islam.

Prayer (salat): Islam prescribes a brief prayer or ritual worship five times a day:
at dawn, noon, late afternoon, sunset and night. Muslims perform ablution
before prayer -- a brief prescribed washing of the hands, mouth, nose, face,
arms and feet. One may pray alone or in a group in any clean location, including
a mosque. The Friday noon prayer is special to Muslims and is done in a mosque
if possible. Muslims face in the direction of Mecca when they pray.
Charity (zakat): Muslims are required to give to the poor and needy. Islam
prescribes an obligatory charity, known as zakat, based on two and a half
percent of one's income and wealth. In addition to this prescribed charity,
Muslims are encouraged to give as much as they can in voluntary charity
throughout the year.
Fasting (sawm): Muslims are required to fast from dawn to sunset during the
month of Ramadan, the ninth month of the lunar calendar. People gather in the
evenings for a festive breaking of the fast. When fasting, Muslims refrain from
food, liquid, and sexual activity. During Ramadan, Muslims are also supposed to
abstain from negative behaviors such as lying, gossip, petty arguments, and
negative thoughts or behaviors, including getting angry. Muslims are required to
start fasting when they reach puberty, although some younger children may also
fast. People who are sick, traveling, menstruating, and pregnant or nursing may
break their fast, but may make up the days later in the year. The elderly and
people with disabilities are excused from fasting.
Ramadan was the month in which the revelation of the Quran to Muhammad
(PBUH) began. Therefore Muslims are encouraged to read the Quran during this
month and often gather in the evenings in mosques to listen to recitations from
the Quran.
Eid al-Fitr (eed' al fi'-ter), or the "Festival of the Fast-Breaking," one of the major
Muslim holidays, celebrates the completion of the Ramadan fast and occurs on
the first day of the month after Ramadan. This is a day of celebration, prayers,
feasts and gift giving.
Pilgrimage to Mecca (hajj): Every Muslim is required to make the pilgrimage to
Mecca, located in Saudi Arabia, once in their lifetime if financially and physically
able. Mecca is home to the first house of worship of God, the Kaaba, said to have
been built by the prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael. Muslims all over the
world face towards the Kaaba when they pray. All outward symbols of rank and
wealth are erased during the pilgrimage, as Muslim from every part of the globe
come together for the purpose of worshipping God. Muslims who complete the
pilgrimage are referred to as "Hajji" and greeted with great celebration and
respect in their communities when they return.
Eid al-Adha (eed' al ad'-ha), or the "Festival of the Sacrifice," is the second major
holiday in Islam. It falls on the tenth day of the month at the conclusion of the
pilgrimage, and is celebrated by all Muslims with special prayers, feasts, gifts
and the sacrifice of an animal (usually a lamb or goat). The meat is distributed
to relatives, friends and the needy.
