About ADAMS Center

Over the past four decades, the ADAMS Center has grown into one of the largest Muslim communities in the Washington, D.C. area. Today, we serve the areas of Sterling..

5 Pillars of Islam

The Five Pillars (Arkān al-Islām) are the core beliefs and practices of Islam which all Muslims must adhere to:

01

Shahadah

Every Muslim believes in the oneness of God and that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is His final messenger. This declaration affirms the essence of Islamic monotheism.

02

Salah

Salah is the act of praying to God five times daily while facing Makkah, performed at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset, and after dark.

03

Sawm

Sawm refers to fasting during the holy month of Ramadan. From dawn to sunset, Muslims abstain from food, drink, and other physical needs to cultivate self-discipline, spiritual growth, and empathy for the less fortunate.

04

Zakah

Zakah is an obligatory act of giving alms to those in need, aiming to reduce inequality and foster a sense of community.

05

Hajj

Hajj is the pilgrimage to Makkah that every able Muslim must undertake at least once in their lifetime. It symbolizes spiritual renewal, equality, and devotion to God.

Fundraising Campaigns

You can help make a difference in the society by giving alms to the ADAMS campaigns.
