The Five Pillars of Islam



The Five Pillars of Islam 

1.      The Shahabad (Faith)
2.      Salat
3.      Zakat 
4.      Fasting 
5.      The pilgrimage or Hajj

1. Shahadatu  Tuhid o risala

Shahadah is the professing of oneness of Allah and accepting of  Huzarat Muhammad (Peace be upon him)  as  Allah's messenger 
Reciting this statement is a key part in a person's conversion to Islam.

2. Performing Salat or Prayers

The obligatory prayers that are performed five times a day,
Fajr , zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha'a.
Fajr is performed before the sun rise, zuhr is performed when the sun starts to decline from its zenith, Asr is performed in the afternoon, Maghrib is the sunset prayer, and Isha'a is the evening prayer.

3. Paying Zakat (The financial obligation upon Muslims.)

Zakat  is the practice of charitable giving by Muslims based on accumulated wealth, and is obligatory for all who are able to do so. It is considered to be a personal responsibility for Muslims to ease economic hardship for others and eliminate inequality.  Zakat consists of spending 2.5% of one's wealth for the benefit of the poor or needy, including slaves, debtors and travelers.

4. Fasting 

Every year, fasting during the month of Ramadan (an Islamic Month) is obligatory. Every adult Muslim must abstain from food and drink and sexual relations with his wife from dawn to dusk during this month, and are to be especially mindful of other sins.  

6.      Hajj 

The Hajj or pilgrimage to Makkah (the hajj) is an obligation only for those Muslims who are physically and financially able to do so, at least once in their lifetime.
