The Five Pillars of Islam consist of the following:

  1. Shahadah - Testimony of Faith
  2. Salah - Daily Ritual Prayers
  3. Sawm - Fasting the month of Ramadhan
  4. Zakah - Alms tax for the poor
  5. Hajj - Pilgrimage to Mecca

-Shahadah

The first pillar of Islam is to believe and declare the faith by saying the Shahadah (lit. 'witness'), known as the Kalimah.

La ilaha ila Allah; Muhammadur-rasul Allah.
There is no god but Allah; Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

-Salah

Prayer (Salah), in the sense of worship, is the second pillar of Islam. Prayer is obligatory and must be performed five times a day. These five times are dawn (Fajr), immediately after noon (Dhuhr), mid-afternoon ('Asr), sunset (Maghrib), and early night (Isha').

-Sawm

The fourth pillar of Islam is fasting. Allah prescribes daily fasting for all able, adult Muslims during the whole of the month of Ramadan, the ninth month of the lunar calendar, beginning with the sighting of the new moon.

-Zakah

The third pillar of Islam is the alms-tax (Zakah). The word in Arabic implies "purification" and it is understood to mean that a person "purifies" his holdings of wealth from greed and stinginess.

-Hajj

The fifth pillar of Islam is to make a pilgrimage (Hajj) to Makkah, in Saudi Arabia, at least once in one's lifetime. This pillar is obligatory for every Muslim, male or female, provided that he/she is physically and financially able to do so.
