Pillars of Islam

Five Pillars of Islam :

1. Testimony of Faith-Shahadah
I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger

2. Prayer-Salat
Five times each day : before dawn(subh), noon(zuhr), afternoon(asr), after sunset(mgrb), and evening(isy')

3. Charity-Zakah
Zakat is the amount of money that every adult, mentally stable, free, and financially able Muslim, male and female, has to pay to support specific categories people.

4. Fasting-Sawm
Allah prescribes daily fasting for all able, adult Muslims during the whole of the month of Ramadan

5.Pilgrimage-Hajj
An obligation only for those who are physically and financially able to do so. Nevertheless, over two million people go to Makkah each year from every corner of the globe providing a unique opportunity for those of different nations to meet one another.
