Islam is a religion of love to humanity. Every teaching of Islam and every religious practice practiced by Muslims reflects the spirit that is to bring well-being in the whole world by either spreading the religion or by implementing the Islamic laws. There are total five basic Islamic practices made obligatory for all the Muslims. The first and foremost obligation of every Muslim is to observe Salah. The teachings of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) tell us that a Muslim child older than seven years in age has to offer the prayer. For men, it is compulsory to offer prayers in the mosque rather than in home. Five times a day Muslims gather in mosques to offer their prayers together. The mosque also serves as a community center. Amongst other Islamic practices, Salah is the most important one. A Muslim will be questioned about his Salah before any other question after his death. The second obligatory practice is fasting. It is compulsory on every Muslim who enjoys a good health to take fast in the month of Ramadan. Fasting in Ramadan is compulsory whereas fasting in the rest of the year is optional. By fasting, a person learns to live a life without doing bad deeds. From dawn till dusk being in the condition where one tries his best to refrain from sins, he practices and gradually becomes a good practical Muslim. A person can leave a fast in case he is traveling or having a bad health. But it is mandatory for him to substitute that left fast some other time when he is fit.
