Islam are the basis on which all Muslim teachings of "do and not to do" are based. By definition, without pillars, a building could not be constructed strong, straight forward, and high.
The five pillars can be looked as a table. The first pillar "testimony" is the top of the table that means witness that no god except one and only one God and that prophet Muhammad is His prophet and messenger. The table four legs are the other four pillars:
· performing praying,
· paying the Zakah Specific Charity or Alms giving,
· fasting the month of Ramadan, and
· pilgrimage (or Hajj) to Mecca if affordable.
The table, as designed with four legs, will not stand with one of these four legs broken or missed.
The Muslim is required to be everywhere considering the both wings of Islam religion:
· the first wing is to observe the five pillars of Islam by keeping faith in the oness of God and faith in his prophet and by performing the ritual worships (prayer, zakah, fasting pilgrimage) and
· the second wing is to keep performing good deeds to the benefit of himself, family, community, and mankind.
As no bird can not fly conveniently with only one wing or with one wing weaker than the other, Muslim can't be welcomed in the Heavens unless he is keeping good balance of the two Islam wings.
