Muslims regard their religion as the completed and universal version of a primordial, monotheistic faith revealed at many times and places before, including, notably, to the prophets Abraham, Moses and Jesus. Islamic tradition holds that previous messages and revelations have been changed and distorted over time. Religious practices include the Five Pillars of Islam, which are five obligatory acts of worship. Islamic law touches on virtually every aspect of life and society, encompassing everything from banking and warfare to welfare and the environment.

The [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] religion, given no specific name, is a polytheistic religion that centers around the belief that godhood is a state attainable by mortals and that the [[Forerunner]] attained such a state through activation of the [[Halo Array]], which sent them on their Great Journey to salvation. Originating as the belief system of the [[San 'Shyuum]], it was eventually adopted and, to an extent, modified by the various races that would later join the Covenant, with the most devoted new members being the Sangheili and the Jiralhanae. It would continue even after the end of the Covenant as the Sangheili faith, although modified by recent revelations concerning the true purpose of the Halo Array.
