About Islam
Islam implies total “submission to the will of Allah (God)” and it centres principally around the holy Qur'an. The Noble Qur'an was revealed to the main and final Islamic prophet, (ﷺ-SAW).
Zafat focuses on helping Muslims to develop spiritually and strengthen their faith. We also engage in fostering salient information about Islam to new Muslims to facilitate their consciousness.
Obligations (Pillars of Faith)
To bear witness that there is only one God and His messenger was Prophet Muhammad.
This is the practice of praying to Allah five times a day at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset, and evening.
This focuses on social responsibility in which alms are given to the needy in good faith.
This entails fasting from dawn to sunset during the holy month of Ramadan by healthy and able Muslims.
Pilgrimage to Makkah is mandatory for Muslims who are able physically and financially.
