The Five Pillars of Islam are the five duties that Muslims must follow. They are Shahadah (professing belief in Allah and Muhammad), Salah (praying five times a day facing Mecca), Zakah (giving charity annually), Sawm (fasting during Ramadan), and Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in a lifetime if affordable). Following these pillars helps Muslims feel part of the worldwide Muslim community.
