Iszlám is a monotheistic religion that originated in the 7th century CE in the Arabian Peninsula. It is based on the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, who is considered the last prophet in a line that includes figures like Moses and Jesus. Followers of Iszlám, known as Muslims, believe in one God, referred to as Allah, and follow the holy book called the Qur'an. The core beliefs of Iszlám include the Five Pillars, which are essential acts of worship and practice. These pillars consist of the declaration of faith, prayer, almsgiving, fasting during the month of Ramadan, and pilgrimage to Mecca. Iszlám emphasizes community, compassion, and moral conduct in daily life.
