They keep to the five pillars as they are the basics of Islam ritual worships.

It is a matter of faith. If one is sincerely Muslim he never feels difficulty in maintaining the five pillars.

The first pillar is testimony of God oneness and Muhammad prophecy.

The second pillar is praying for five times a day. Each praying takes around 5 minutes.

The third pillar is Zakat (compulsory charity). A Muslim has to pay for the poor 2.5 % of the money saved over one year and exceeding specific minimum limit.

The fourth pillar is fasting Ramadan. For those who find difficulty to fast as those of old age or those who are medically prescribed not fit to fast are exempted from fasting until expire of the reason. Those who are on travel during Ramadan are allowed not to fast during the traveling days and to compensate for these days after Ramadan.

The fifth pillar is performing pilgrimage (Hajj). This is only once over life and only for those who can afford it financially, physically, and without safety/security risks.
