We understand that GOD is as close to us as the artery in our neck.  We always strive to conducts ourselves with the full knowledge and appreciation of the fact that GOD is with us all the time and everywhere  and that as such we will not do anything that GOD does not want us to do and we will do those things that he would like us to do.  and
2. We believe the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is GOD'S Messenger (and that we will accordingly follow the guidance of the Quran as exemplified by the life of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him - n.b. We do not consider Prophet Muhammad to be Divine). 
3. Mentally & Physically & Spiritually placing ourselves in GOD'S presence five times a day with Prayer (i.e. completing a Prescribed series of ritual acts of worship (prayers)  with Belief and Sincerity.
4. Giving Thanks to GOD for what we have been blessed with either as wealth or intellect, ETC. through Prescribed Charitable Giving. (We consider wealth and success as a trust from GOD and believe that we are accountable to GOD as to how we use our wealth and intellect.)

Exercising Personal Restraint & Emphasizing with the less fortunate by restricting earthly pleasures and food for one whole month (Ramadan) during which we observe a Prescribed Fast from Sunrise to Sunset and increase our devotional acts to enable us to rejuvenate our soul and our link with GOD. This is also a month that is used for developing oneself spiritually. 
6. Experiencing (for those who are able in health and wealth) true universal brotherhood by performing the Prescribed Pilgrimage rituals in Mecca where we are all dressed in the same simple cloth which make all persons indistinguishable  by status or class or wealth.

 GOD has appointed Mankind as GOD's Vicegerents on Earth: as such Muslims should be asking themselves this question daily:
