Nikah in Islam (Arabic: نِكَاح, romanized: nikāḥ) is a contract exclusively between a man and a woman. Both parties, the groom and the bride, must agree to the marriage of their own free will. A formal, binding contract—whether verbal or written—is essential for a marriage to be considered religiously valid in Islam, and it details the rights and responsibilities of both the groom and the bride.

Aqīqah (Arabic: عقيقة), is an Islamic tradition where an animal is sacrificed to celebrate the birth of a child. It also spelled aqeeqa or akikah. This practice is regarded as a form of sadaqah (charitable giving) and is considered a sunnah, though it is not obligatory.

The Shahada (Arabic: الشَّهَادَةُ ) also known as Shahadah, is a fundamental Islamic declaration and one of the Five Pillars of Islam. The marking of a Muslim’s formal entry into Islam. There is no set age for this rite, though it is most commonly celebrated during the teenage years.It is also recited as part of the Adhan. The declaration is: “I testify that there is no god but God, and I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of God.”

Obligatory prayers are a key element of Islamic practice, standing as the second most significant pillar (after Shahadah) in the Five Pillars . Additionally, Muslims can engage in voluntary prayers at nearly any time, with some exceptions, or at specific times according to the Sunnah.

Purity (Arabic: طهارة, ṭahāra(h)) is a fundamental concept in Islam. It is the antithesis of najāsa, which denotes ritual impurity. Achieving purity involves first cleansing physical impurities (such as urine) from the body, followed by addressing ritual impurity through practices like wudu (ablution) or ghusl (full-body ritual purification).
