Religion

At least 98% of the Wolof people call themselves Muslim. This means they practice the "5 Pillars of Islam:"

* Confess that God is One and Mohammed is His prophet.
* Give a "tithe" from their income.
* Pray toward the city of Mecca five times each day.
* Give alms to the poor.
* Make the holy journey to Mecca at least once in one's lifetime.
