Islam is the official religion of Muslims. Historians consider that Islam originated in the cities of Medina and Mecca in the 7th century CE. It was until 610 CE that Mohammed received the revelations from Allah, considered divine and sacred by Muslims.
Islam is based on five pillars that are the Shahada or the profession of faith. The Salat or daily prayers. Zakat or sharing part of your wealth with the poor. Saum or fasting during the Ramadan. And Hajj or pilgrimage to Mecca.
