The major beliefs of Islam are organized into a chart called the Five Pillars of Islam. These are five major beliefs of Islam. They are to believe and say, "There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his prophet"; to pray in Arabic, five times a day, at certain times, facing Mecca; to give to the poor and needy; to fast during the month of Ramadan, avoiding all food and beverages from sunrise to sunset; and lastly, to make a pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca at least once during your lifetime. These are the major beliefs of Islam that a Muslim would need to follow.

They are five Islam pillars. The first of them is to witness that Allah (or God in English and same God worshiped in Judaism and Christianity) is the one and only one God with no partner and that prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is His prophet and messenger. Refer to question below for more details.

Five Pillars of Islam according to shia Muslims are:

1. Monotheism: The Oneness of Allah (tawhid)

2. Divine Justice ('adl)

3. Prophethood (nubuwwa)

4. Succession to Muhammad (imamat)

5. The Day of Judgement and the Resurrection (Qiyama)


Practices of Islam according to shia Muslims:

2- Fasting (sawm) during Ramadan

3-4. Alms giving (zakaat and khums)

5- Pilgrimage to the city of Makkah (hajj)

6- Holy Defense (Jihad)

7-8. Enjoining good (amr bil-ma'rouf) and forbidding evil (nahiy an al-munkar)

9- Supporting those who walk in the path of Allah (tawalli li awliyaa' Allah)

10- Turning away from the enemies of Allah (tabarri min a'daa Allah)


Five Pillars of Islam according to Sunni Muslims are:

1. professing (Shahadah)

2. Prayer (Salat)

3. Alms-giving (Zakāt)

4. Fasting (Sawm of Ramadan)

5. Pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj)

also different sects of sunni have differs in five pillars. for example Mu'tazilate Sunni Scholars like shia consider Adl as one pillar. but Ash'arites does not believe Adl is one of Pillars although believing in Adl as an attribute of God but with an interpret of Adl that in view of shia and Mu'tazilate is equal to not having Adl.
