The majority of Iranians practice Islam, which dominates their personal, political, economic, and legal spheres. Islam first appeared in what is now Saudi Arabia. In the line of Jesus, Moses, Abraham, and other God's agents who brought revelation to humanity, the Prophet Muhammad is regarded as the final one. He stood out because he delivered a message to all people, not just one specific group of peoples. Muhammad brought the final book, the Quran, just as Moses brought the Torah and Jesus the Bible. All religious instruction is based on the teachings of the Quran and the Prophet's example (the Sunnah).

Muslims are required to perform five daily prayers at dawn, noon, afternoon, sunset, and evening. The local newspaper publishes the precise time every day. The Muslim holy day is Friday. Everything has been shut. Additionally, many businesses have Thursday off, making Thursday and Friday the weekend days.
