(i) Zakat (Almsgiving):
The practice of charity is important in the Islamic faith, as Zakat is the Third Pillar of Islam. During their lives, Muslims are expected to give a fixed portion of their wealth to those less fortunate than themselves. Popular recipients of donations include the homeless, refugees of conflict, and people affected by natural disasters. The money provides housing, food, and clothing in most organizations.
(ii) Salah (Prayer):
Salah is the second of the Five Pillars. Prayer rituals are required of each Muslim, and they take place five times a day, every day of the year. During Salah, Muslims worship the will of Allah by facing towards Mecca, the holy city of Islam, where the religion was founded. Prayer includes a reading from the beginning of the Quran, the sura, followed by prayer and reflection. Salah can be completed individually or in a group setting, such as in a mosque. Gatherings in groups are often lead by a member of the faith and include a sermon and discussion of prayer.
(iii) Sawm (Fasting):
The Fourth Pillar of Islam is Sawm. During the ninth calendar month of the Islamic faith, Ramadan, Muslims are not allowed to eat or drink during daylight hours. After the sun sets, however, they are free to eat as much as they would like. Healthy Muslims are expected to participate, while children, the elderly, or those with health conditions are not required to. Pregnant and breastfeeding women are also exempt from fasting.
