Five Pillars of Islam
The Five Pillars of Islam is a term given to the five main duties that are compulsory for every Muslim.
The Five Pillars consist of:
Tawheed, (Shahadah) : declaration of faith
Salaah: prayers
Zakat: annual charity
Sawm: fasting during the month of Ramadan
Hajj: pilgrimage to Makkah
Carrying out these obligations provides the framework of a Muslim's life, and weaves their everyday activities and their beliefs into a single cloth of religious devotion.
No matter how sincerely a person may believe, Islam regards it as pointless to live life without putting that faith into action and practice.
Carrying out these duties demonstrates that the Muslim is putting their faith first, and is submitting to the will of Allah.
