The 5 Pillars of Islam


The Five Pillars of Islam refer to the five duties that every Muslim must perform. The first of these five pillars is the declaration of faith and the other four are religious acts that are performed either daily, once a year or at least once in a lifetime. These acts are woven into the lives of Muslims and take precedence over all worldly matters.

The Five Pillars of Islam are:
  1. Declaration of Faith (Shahadah)
  2. Prayer (Salah)
  3. Charity (Zakah)
  4. Fasting (Sawm)
  5. Pilgrimage (Hajj)
