What does IR mean in RELIGION

Islam is a faith-based religion which believes in one God and the teachings of Prophet Mohammed. It is a monotheistic religion that teaches its followers to live in peace and harmony. The five pillars of Islam include declaration of faith (shahada), prayer (salat), fasting (sawm), charity (zakat) and pilgrimage (Hajj).

Muslims believe in Allah, who they consider to be the only true God, and that Muhammad was his prophet. They believe in angels, divine books, prophets such as Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, day of judgement and life after death. They also accept all other faiths as valid paths to understanding God's will.

Muslims practice their religion by following the Five Pillars of Islam - declaring faith in one God and Mohammed as His prophet; performing regular prayers; paying alms/charity; fasting during Ramadan; and making a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in a lifetime if financially possible. Muslims also observe dietary restrictions known as halal food laws, recite scripture from the Qur'an each day, seek forgiveness for wrongdoings through repentance and make efforts for spiritual growth throughout life.

Yes, it is mandatory for Muslims to pray five times daily if they are able. This includes prayer at dawn (Fajr), noon (Dhuhr), mid-afternoon (Asr), sunset (Maghrib) and nightfall (Isha).

Interfaith marriages are generally not allowed under Muslim law due to issues revolving around religiosity however some more liberal interpretations within the community acknowledge this form of union if both parties agree upon it prior to taking their vows within marriage ceremony itself — particularly among young couples today who are looking for ways around traditional marriage details specified under religious jurisprudence.
