What is the Islamic Pillars?

Islam is built on five pillars. These acts are obligatory on every Muslim adult. Some are done daily, monthly, annually, while one is only required once in a lifetime.

The ‘Five Pillars‘ of Islam are the foundation of Muslim life:

Shahaada: Faith or belief in the Oneness of God and the finality of the prophethood of Muhammad;
Salaah: Establishment of the daily prayers;
Zakaah: Concern for and almsgiving to the needy;
Siyam: Self-purification through fasting; and
Hajj: The pilgrimage to Makkah for those who are able.
