What are the five Pillars of Islam?These are five duties that every Muslim is obliged to perform. The five pillars of Islam help Muslims put their faith into action.
  • Shahadah: declaration of faith

    "I bear witness that there is no god, but God; I bear witness that Muhammad is the prophet of God." By reciting this, one enters Islamic faith.

  • Salah: prayer

    Muslims are required to pray five times a day, washing themselves before prayer and facing in the direction of Mecca while praying.

  • Zakat: giving a fixed proportion to charity

    Muslims are required to give away a percentage of their earnings to those less fortunate, regardless of their religion.

  • Saum: fasting during the month of Ramadan

    Muslims fast for one lunar month each year, a period called Ramadan. During this time, Muslims reflect on their behaviour and strive to purify their thoughts.

  • Hajj: pilgrimage to Mecca

    If it is financially possible, Muslims are required to travel to Mecca once in their lifetime.
