About Islam
This section of our website intends to briefly explain the basic tenants of Islam, our faith and IYA's guiding philosophy.
Islam is the religion – the way of life – decreed by God for Mankind.
The obligatory prayers – Salah – keep us in daily contact with our Creator.
The poor in the needy in society benefit from both Zakah and charity.
Muslims fast in the Islamic month of Ramadan, and at other times too.
At least once in a lifetime a Muslim should try to perform the pilgrimage to Makkah known as Hajj
The Ummah, or Muslim community, is a group of people from diverse backgrounds, ancestry, locations and nationalities. They are one nation or community united under the guidance of the One God.
