Shahadah is the declaration of faith in Islam, affirming one's belief in the oneness of Allah and the prophethood of Mohammad (PBUH). The core beliefs and practices of Islam are encapsulated in the five pillars, which are considered obligatory for all Muslims to fulfil during their lifetime. According to Islamic teachings, Allah’s word was revealed to Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) through the angel Gabriel. Muslims aim to lead a life of complete submission to Allah, firmly believing that nothing can happen without Allah’s permission, while also recognizing human free will. The term Islam means submission to the will of Allah (God) by doing what has been commanded and refraining from what is prohibited. It is an Abrahamic monotheistic religion centred around the holy Quran and the teachings of Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him). Islam is the final of the three Abrahamic faiths, which emerged in the 7th century after Judaism and Christianity. Get the complete UAE Ramadan Prayer Time Table 20 23
