Islamic Tradition encompasses the beliefs, practices, and cultural expressions of the Islam faith, which originated in the 7th century CE with the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. Central to this tradition are the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam, and the Hadith, which are records of Muhammad's sayings and actions. These texts guide the spiritual and daily lives of Muslims. The tradition emphasizes the Five Pillars of Islam, which include Shahada (faith declaration), Salah (prayer), Zakat (charity), Sawm (fasting during Ramadan), and Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). These practices foster a sense of community and devotion among Muslims worldwide, shaping their identity and values.
