ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Islam in Canada

Islam is a religion followed by people called Muslims. In Canada, there are many Muslims who practice Islam. They believe in one God, who they call Allah, and their holy book is called the Quran. Muslims follow certain rules that are called the Five Pillars of Islam. These are things like praying five times a day, giving to charity, and fasting during Ramadan.

In Canada, Muslims can build their own mosques, which are like special buildings where they can go to pray and learn more about their religion. They can also go to Islamic schools, which are schools that teach about Islam. Muslims in Canada are free to practice their religion and celebrate their culture.

Sometimes, people who don't understand Islam might be mean to Muslims or say bad things about them. It's important to remember that people are different and have different beliefs, but everyone should be treated with kindness and respect.
