What is Islam Exacttly, Five pillars of Islam, Misconceptions regarding Islam.

WHAT IS ISLAM EXACTLY, FIVE PILLARS OF ISLAM, AND MISCONCEPTIONS REGARDING ISLAM? Religions are very difficult to define, and even if we do, we must clearly understand every faith. Muslims believe that there is only one God, "Allah," and that Prophet Muhammad is His messenger (SAW). With 1.8 billion adherents, Islam is the second most popular religion in the world, after Christianity. The definition of Islam is "submission to Allah's Will." Although the origins of Islam may be traced back to Adam (AS), scholars believe that Islam came into being when Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was visited by Gabriel (Jibrail AS) in a cave and given divine revelations. Muslims spend their lives in total devotion to Allah because they believe that everything that occurs, good or terrible, does so with Allah's permission. Muslims adhere to two traits, discipline and structure, which aid them in upholding the five pillars of Islam. Declaration of their Faith is the first and most significant. The second is prayer, which is performed five times daily while facing the Kaaba. Then every Muslim must donate 2.5% of their money to the needy in the name of Allah, known as almsgiving. Ramadan fasting is another pillar, which lasts from sunrise to sunset for the entire month, During fasting, nothing that could provide the body with energy is permitted, including food and water. By doing this, one can purify themselves from the world and its bad desires and become nearer to Allah. The last pillar of Islam is the Pilgrimage to Mecca, which has been practiced since the era of Ibrahim (AS). For wealthy individuals, performing once in a lifetime is required; but, for others who are less fortunate, it is not. There are numerous misconceptions regarding Islam throughout the world. Due to the way Muslims are portrayed on television, the majority of the world believes that Muslims are terrorists. Islam is a religion of peace in every sense of the word. The human tendency is to accept everything they see or hear about Muslims, and as a result, they have formed a negative image of Muslims and treated them badly when they come into contact with them. Everyone has to understand that not all Muslims are terrorists and that extreme groups have planned all the horrible events that have occurred around the world. It is said that "you should not judge someone without knowing them," but when they stand in front of a Muslim and criticize him, they utterly ignore this idea. Some black individuals were killed unjustly, and people all around the world protested, stating that we should not condemn people based on their color, culture, or religion. But what about the Muslims who were killed unjustly in a non-Muslim country just because of their religion by the same people who protested during Black Lives Matter protests? People need to open their minds and hearts to all religions, especially Islam, which the majority of people dislike for ridiculous reasons. They ought to obtain an understanding of Islam, which will help them comprehend Muslims and make them more well-liked.
