The Five Pillars of Islam
As Muslims, we believe in the Shahadat: La illaha il lAllah Mohammadur rasulAllah (There is no God but Allah and Mohammad (pbuh) is Allah's messenger).
Muslims also believe in the other four pillars of Islam which are:
1. As-Salat (Prayer)
2. Az-Zakat (Charity)
3. As-Sawm (Fasting)
4. Al-Hajj (the Pilgrimage to Makkah)
1. As-Salat (Prayer)
Whereas the first pillar is a mental action (Faith), the four other pillars require physical actions…such as bowing down in prayer, refraining from food and drink during Ramadhan, giving money to the poor, and going on a pilgrimage to Makkah for the Hajj.
