everyone. So today I'm going to be doing an informative speech about the

religion of Islam.

This is a religion which upholds the standards of peace introduced by

Mohammed when he was alive and carried on unto this day.

So why is it that Islam is known as the religion of peace globally.

So in a book by Khwaja Kamal, often

this is the author of the five pillars of Islam,

He explains that

the founding principles of Islam are five pillars which uphold peace.

These pillars, our faith,

prayer,

fasting,

alms giving and the pilgrimage.

So these pillars are used to basically uphold the

idea and the standard of peace in Islam.

So in order to be Islamic,

you have to uphold the standards and we're going

to go into depth about them right now.

So the first one is intimacy with Allah otherwise known as faith with Allah

This word is known as shahada and

this basically means that you are completely declaring

yourself to Allah you have complete faith intimacy

and you're putting a lot over everything.

The 2nd Pillar

is Prayer.

Prayer is otherwise known as salat in Islamic culture.

So the ritual for praying is to pray five times a day

in the morning

to um

before lunch during lunch, after

afternoon

and then in the evening.

So the correct manner of praying,

which is a sequence of actions known

firstly, you have to wash your hands, your feet, your ears, your nose, your face,

your mouth,

it's in a certain specific order like that and this is explained in a Gabonese book

about prayer and slot

it is important to do prayer to gain intimacy with a lot,

so that's why they pray five times a day

to show dedication to show that they are complete

um

completely for a lot.

The 3rd Pillar is

fasting.

So during the time of Ramadan

this is a time to sacrifice worldly desires such as

food, drinks,

sexual desires,

this is basically a restriction of yourself seeking desires.

Why do they do this another form of sacrifice, just like praying five times a day,

which is sacrifice.

So during Ramadan they sacrificed these aspects and

uphold the five pillars of Islam during that time

and then they congregate

to break their fast together and pray together.

The fourth pillar

of Islam is alms giving otherwise known as

what is this?

Zakat is basically when you help another person, when you go back to your hometown,

whether that be in a different state, country city,

you go and you give to your family members, you can give them money,

you can give them your time, you can just help them all in all.

Why do we do this again

sacrifice to show that you're putting others ahead

of your own needs of your own desires.

The next one is pilgrimage, otherwise known as Hatch.

This is a mission which all

Islamic

believers have to

endure at the end or during the process of islam.

So basically they have to

go to the city of Mecca

and they have to go in a certain attire shown here in these pictures, the man,

they have to dress in this form and the women in this form covering their hair,

their every part of their body except for their feet and their hands.

Why is this? This is a sense of unity to show that they are all the same under the law.

Why is this done again for sacrifice?

You're leaving those loved ones behind in where you once were

to show a lot that you care about him and that you have that intimacy with him.

And those are the five pillars of Islam.

Thank you so much for listening.

And I hope that this can help you understand

why Islam is known as the religion of peace.
