Start with the intention and say Bismillah, then wash your hands three times, rinse your mouth and nose three times each, wash your face three times, wash your arms to the elbows three times, wipe your head once, and wash your feet to the ankles three times. This is the standard method taught by the Prophet.

Muslims pray five obligatory prayers daily: Fajr (dawn), Dhuhr (midday), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (sunset), and Isha (night). Each prayer has a specific number of units (rak'at) and is performed facing the Qibla (direction of the Kaaba in Mecca).

Fasting in Ramadan requires abstaining from food, drink, and marital relations from dawn (Fajr) until sunset (Maghrib). The elderly, sick, pregnant women, travellers, and young children are exempt. Those who miss days must make them up later or pay fidyah if unable to fast.

Hajj involves six main rituals over five days: entering Ihram, standing at Arafat on the 9th of Dhul Hijjah, spending the night in Muzdalifah, stoning the Jamarat in Mina, performing the sacrifice (Udhiyah), and completing Tawaf and Sa'i in Mecca. Each step has specific prayers and conditions.

Zakat is 2.5% of your total savings and wealth held for one full lunar year, provided it exceeds the nisab threshold (equivalent to 87.48g of gold or 612.36g of silver). Calculate your total zakatable assets — including cash, gold, silver, investments, and business goods — then deduct your debts.
