What I, and other Muslim Brothers and Sisters in the world think that the significance of Islam is mainly the cleanness and pureness of the religion itself. Allah (SWT) created Humans, and everything living or breathing on this planet. Islam is not about killing or hurting others, it is about living to discover Islam. It is to please Allah (SWT) and helping others through Zakat (Charity, fourth pillar of Islam). We Muslims also believe that this lifetime is only a test. Allah (SWT) is watching us always and we have to please Allah (SWT). Islam: >First Pillar: Statement of Faith. "There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad (PBUH) is his Messenger." >Second Pillar: Prayers. Five times a day. >Third Pillar: Fasting. During the Holy Month of Ramadan. >Fourth Pillar: Charity. Sending halal money to the Muslim poor. >Fifth Pillar: Pilgrimage to Hajj. With halal money, Muslims travel to Saudi Arabia to make pilgrimage to Ka'aba.
The premise of the question is incorrect. The Shahada IS actually the most important pillar of Islam.
Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam. It is obligatory on all Muslims once in lifetime.
