1. Shahada
The first pillar of Islam is very simple, have
faith in the oneness of Allah Almighty. There
is no god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger
of God.

2. Salat
The second pillar of Islam is based on prayers.
Muslims perform 5 prayers a day facing
Mecca. Prayer is a pillar of the religion
(Islam). Whoever establishes it, establishes
religion and whoever destroys it (e.g. neglects
it), destroys religion.

3. Zakat
The third pillar of Islamic law, states us
to donate a fixed portion of our income to
the needy community. Allah has
made zakah obligatory simply to purify
your remaining wealth. The Prophet of Islam
(Peace Be Upon Him)

4. Sawm
Muslims fast during the daylight hours in
the holy month of Ramadan. During these hours,
youre not required to drink or eat
anything.  Fasting is prescribed for you as it
was prescribed for those before you, that you
may attain piety.

5. Hajj
This is the fifth and final pillar of Islam,
which is important if you have the resources.
Every Muslim should visit the holy city of
Mecca if they have the resources and health to
travel. Whoever performs Hajj and does not utter
obscenities or commit sin, will come back just
like the day when his mother bore him (i.e. pure
of sins).
