Islamic customs are practices and traditions followed by Muslims around the world, rooted in the teachings of the Qur'an and the Hadith. These customs often include daily prayers, known as Salah, performed five times a day, and the observance of Ramadan, a month of fasting from dawn until sunset. Another important custom is the giving of Zakat, a form of almsgiving that supports those in need. Additionally, many Muslims participate in the Hajj, a pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca that is required at least once in a lifetime for those who are able.
