What do Muslims believe?
Muslims believe that Islam was revealed over 1,400 years ago in Mekkah, Arabia through a man called Muhammad.
Muhammad is so respected that it is usual for Muslims to say 'peace be upon him' whenever they mention his name.
Muhammad is believed by Muslims to be the last prophet sent by God (Allah). They believe God sent prophets to mankind to teach them how to live according to His law.
Jesus (Isa), Moses (Musa) and Abraham (Ibrahim) are other respected prophets.
Five Pillars of Islam
The Five Pillars of Islam are an important part of Muslim life. They are five things that a Muslim must do so they can live a good and responsible life. They include:
The declaration of faith (Shahada)
Praying five times a day (Salat)
Giving money to charity (Zakah)
Fasting during the month of Ramadan (Sawm)
A pilgrimage to Makkah at least once in a lifetime (Hajj)
Boys praying
What is the holy book of Islam
The Muslim holy book is called the Qur'an. Muslims believe this to be the word of Allah as dictated to Muhammad.
They also have the Sunnah, which Muslims believe to be the practical example of Prophet Muhammad.
Where do Muslims worship?
Muslims worship in a building called a mosque. On Friday at noon, the most important of the weekly services is held.
When Muslims pray, they must always face Makkah in Saudi Arabia. Many Muslim men will wear a small cap called a taqiyah when they pray.

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.
