The five pillars of Islam (refer to related question below) are witness that Allah is the one and only one God and Muhammad (peace be upon him is His prophet and Messenger, Performing praying (Salah), doing Almsgiving (Zakat), fasting (sawm) the month of Ramadan, and performing pilgrimage (Hajj).

Islamic law lists the rules of marriage/divorce, allowable food to eat, rules of treating parents and neighbors, morals, not allowing fornication and robbery, ... and many other rules. None of these directly form part of the five pillars. Refer to related questions below.

Islamic laws are based on four sources:

  1. Quran, Muslims holy book revealed by God to prophet Muhammad (PBUH),
  2. Sunnah, prophet Muhammad (PBUH) teachings (sayings and practices),
  3. Qias, comparing with similar cases in Quran or Sunnah. For example, drugs are forbidden although not mentioned in Quran and Sunnah but because drug effects are the same when compared with alcohol (that is forbidden in Quran and sunnah explicitly), and
  4. Ijmaa, issues where all Islam religion leaders agree upon.
