1. Shahada โ€“ The Declaration of Faith

"There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah."

โœ… Why itโ€™s important:

  • Affirms your identity as a Muslim
  • Serves as the foundation of all other Islamic practices
  • Strengthens faith and commitment to Islam

3. Zakah โ€“ Obligatory Charity

Zakah is a form of charity and one of the most powerful ways Islam promotes social justice. Every financially able Muslim must give 2.5% of their surplus wealth to those in need.


โœ… Why Zakah matters:

  • Supports the poor and needy
  • Builds a sense of responsibility and empathy
Giving Zakah is not optionalโ€”itโ€™s a right of the poor upon the wealth of the rich.
