Muslims means "one who submits to Allah". Muslims believe that there is only one God, translated in Arabic as Allah. Muslims pray five times a day; these five prayers are known as Fajr, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha. There is also a special Friday prayer called Jummah. The basic believes of Muslims are; KALIMA: "THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH, AND MUHAMMAD IS THE PROPHET OF ALLAH". Muslims believe that Islam existed long before Hazart Muhammad and that the religion had evolved with Hazrat Adam. Muslims believe that there is one true Allah who is alone the creator of the entire universe. The Quran is the book of Allah and Hazrat Muhammad is only the conveyer of Quran. Angels are comprised of light, and each have different purposes or messages to bring to earth. There are four books made by Allah names of them are taurat, zaboor, injil and quran. Prophets those persons which are selected by Allah to convey his message to his people. Muhammad is the last of Allah's messengers. They believe on day of judgment and life after death. They give Zakat to the needy peoples. It also means to remove impurities of an impure matter and material. But in its Islamic sense, the term carries the meaning to pay fixed amount on money and property. Muslim is expected to make the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in their lifetime.
