By Peyton Steenstra
Deceleration of Faith
The deceleration is showing that you believe that there is no God but God, and the messenger of God is Muhammad. Below is the deceleration of faith one must perform.
The Muslim's declaration of faith - the Shahadah
Daily Ritual Prayer
Or Salat, as the people call it. Daily ritual prayer is required of all Muslims. They must pray five times a day at dawn, noon, mid day, sunset, and after nightfall.
Almsgiving
Alms giving is also known as charity. They believe that giving away their money is a way of purifying themselves, and teaching self-control. They are required to give 2.5% of their money. The video below is an alms giving ceremony.

Fasting
The Muslims believe that fasting(or going without food) is a good way to show their faith and teach them what it would feel like to not have enough money to buy food.
Pilgrimage to Makkah
In the 12th month of the Islamic calendar all adult Muslims who are capable of going are asked to travel to Makkah. This teaches them fellowship and equality.
