Islam is not the name of Practices Islam is the name of obey

Word Islam means peace
Islam is a religion different from others. Our religion is the newest. Our holy book- the Qur'an, hasn't been changed ever since it's revelation. Our customs or rituals differ from many other religions too. There are a few rituals that I know of. These are some I know my family follows:

All Muslims must follow the five pillars of faith, which are

Shahada- accepting Muhammad as Allah's (God"s) messenger. Without accepting this you are not a Muslim

Salat- praying 5 times a day

Sawm- fasting during the month of Ramadan

Zakat- giving to the less fortunate

Hajj- making a pilgrimage once your lifetime to the holy city of Mecca

A man of the house or a an imam (a Muslim priest) recites the adhan (call to holy prayer) in the infants ear when they are born to make sure they are Muslim.

We have to holidays called Eid. First Eid (Eid-ul-Fitr) comes after the holy month of Ramadan. Basically we have parties and such. The second Eid (Eid-ul-Adha). That is when Muslims must sacrifice a goat or cow. The meat is then divided into 3 parts- one for you to keep, one for family or friends, and the last one for the less fortunate.

It is also a custom that a girl start wearing a hijab (head scarf) when she hits puberty.
