Islam is much more than just a religion. It’s a way of life, a luminous path that guides millions of people around the world towards inner peace, justice and a deep connection with Allah, the one God. For me, as someone who discovered Islam three years ago, this path has transformed my life in unimaginable ways. Islam has taught me to marvel at the little things, to seek meaning in every act and to always improve as a human being.
How the Quran was revealed
The Quran is like a love letter from Allah to mankind. Revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) over a period of 23 years, it abounds in guidance, wisdom and answers to our existential questions. Each verse is a precious pearl, a light in the darkness. Revelation came through the angel Gabriel (Jibril), and today it continues to inspire billions of believers.

An introduction to prayer
Prayer (Salat) is one of the most beautiful and intense moments in a Muslim’s day. It’s a tête-à-tête with Allah, five times a day, where we lay down our worries, hopes and praises. For me, it’s the moment when I really feel Allah’s closeness. Learn more about prayer here.
An introduction to ablutions
Before praying, Muslims purify themselves by performing ablutions (Wudu). This simple yet powerful ritual involves washing certain parts of the body to symbolize inner and outer cleanliness. It’s a time to prepare to meet Allah with a pure heart and body. Find out more about ablutions here.
An introduction to marriage in Islam
Marriage in Islam is not just a union between two people. It is a sacred partnership, built on love, mercy and respect. Every stage of marriage, from choosing a spouse to living together, is guided by Islamic teachings to ensure a harmonious and blessed relationship.
The 5 pillars of Islam
The 5 pillars of Islam are like beacons of light that guide every Muslim in his or her faith and daily practices.
1. The Shahada (Profession of Faith)
This is the very essence of Islam: to testify that there is no divinity but Allah and that Muhammad is his messenger. This simple phrase has the power to change a life.
“There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His messenger.”
2. Salat (Prayer)
Five prayers a day is an opportunity to reconnect with Allah, take a break from routine and refocus on what’s essential.
3. Zakat (compulsory alms)
Zakat is a reminder that our possessions are only a loan from Allah. By giving to the less fortunate, we purify our wealth and strengthen our humanity.
4. Sawm (fasting during Ramadan)
Ramadan is much more than abstaining from food and drink. It’s a school of patience, gratitude and generosity.
5. Hajj (Pilgrimage to Mecca)
The Hajj is the ultimate experience of unity, where millions of Muslims from all over the world come together to worship Allah.
