Islam is a monotheistic religion. It is based on the teachings of the Quran, which Muslims believe to be the word of God as revealed to Muhammad saw. The central tenet of Islam is the belief in one God (Allah) and the prophet Muhammad saw is considered to be the last messenger of God. Muslims follow a set of religious practices and beliefs known as the Five Pillars of Islam, which include the declaration of faith, daily prayer, giving to charity, fasting during the month of Ramadan, and making a pilgrimage to the city of Mecca. There are over 1.8 billion Muslims worldwide, making it one of the largest religions in the world.
