=Islam=


 * __5 Pillars__**
 * Public testimony of faith
 * Pray at least 5 times a day
 * Give to those in need
 * Fasting the month of Ramadan
 * Pilgrimage to Mecca once in their lifetime, for those who are able


 * __Basic Doctrines__**
 * There is only one God; they refer to Him as Allah.
 * Allah will judge **all** people on the day of judgement; all those who are not Muslims or are not worshippers of Allah will be sent to hell.
 * In hell, there is a tree called the Tree of Zaqqum, from which bad fruit is given and those in hell are forced to eat.
 * Jesus was a great prophet, but not the son of God.
 * Drinking alcohol and gambling are both forbidden.


 * __Martyrdom__**
 * "Martyrs" are those who kill enemies of God, sacrificing their own lives in the process. They believe that this is highly rewarded by God, and that they will receive this reward in Heaven.The most common modern example of this is suicide bombers.
 * Some, however, believe that suicide bombers are false witnesses, because they are killing others rather than being killed for their faith in God. Also, the Qur'an states that people should not kill themselves, which suicide bombers obviously do as well.
