Salaam
Below are the basic five principles of islam
SHAHADAH. This Pillar is believing and saying the words. “There is no god except Allah, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah”.
SALAH. This Pillar is praying five times a day. There are set prayers which Muslims should say, and all Muslims should face Mecca in Arabia when praying, and should pray on a prayer mat. People should wash before they pray. There are fixed movements, which include kneeling with the forehead placed on the ground in front. This expresses the servant status of the human being in relation to Allah.
ZAKAH. Each year, Muslims are supposed to give a fixed proportion of their savings for endeavours such as helping the poor. In this way, we believe that their wealth is “made pure”
SAWM. Refraining from food and drink during the month of Ramadan during daylight hours.
HAJJ. This is making a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in your life, if it can be afforded.

Hello!
We believe in all the Prophets sent by Almighty God. Some of these include Abraham, Joseph, David, Solomon, Moses, Jesus and the final messenger of Almighty God, Muhammad. Peace be upon all the prophets. We say this as a mark of respect.
We believe they all tried to teach people the same message - to worship One God and take no other partners besides Him. They also were living examples of how to live ones life to be successful in this life and in the Hereafter.
The word Islam comes from the root arabic word 'salima' which means 'Peace'. We believe this was the objective of all the Prpphets - to show people how to live in peace with oneself, other human beings - whether muslim or not, and the enviroment.
If you would like to know more, please keep asking. I had one friend in school who was a Baptist too.
Peace to you.
