    • Zakat (Charity): Giving alms (one-fourth of one's income).
    • Sawm (Fasting): Abstaining from food and drink from sunrise to sunset during Ramadan.
    • Hajj (Pilgrimage): Making a pilgrimage to Mecca once in a lifetime.
    • Jihad (Struggle): Engaging in personal and/or community struggle to defend or spread Islam.

    Comparison of Islam and Christianity:

    • Prophethood: Muslims believe Muhammad is God's final prophet (fulfilling Deuteronomy 18, according to their interpretation), while Christians believe Jesus is the final prophet.
    • Holy Books: Muslims consider the Quran to be God's final and infallible word, while Christians believe the Bible is God's word, though they acknowledge different interpretations.
    • Nature of God: Muslims believe in one God, Allah, while Christians believe in the Trinity (one God in three persons).
    • Human Nature: Muslims believe humans are born with a good nature, while Christians believe humans are born with a sinful nature.
    • Salvation: Muslims believe salvation is achieved through complete surrender to Allah and good deeds, while Christians believe salvation is a gift from God through faith in Jesus Christ.
    • Jesus Christ: Muslims view Jesus as a prophet, but not as God incarnate or the Son of God, a belief considered the greatest sin (shirk) in Islam.
    • The Cross: Muslims deny that Jesus was crucified, believing he was taken up to heaven.
    • The Bible: Muslims believe the existing Bible has been corrupted, while Christians believe it is God's inspired word.
