Five Pillars of Islam

n. Pillars of Islam, five basic tenets of the Islamic faith (they are: belief in Allah and in Muhammad as his prophet, prayer, charity, fasting, making a pilgrimage to Mecca)

The Five Pillars of Islam (Arabic: أركان الإسلام) is the term given to the five duties incumbent on every Muslim. These duties are Shahadah (profession of faith), Salah (ritual prayer), Zakah (alms tax), Sawm (fasting during Ramadan), and Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). These five practices are essential to Sunni Islam. Shi'a Muslims subscribe to eight ritual practices which substantially overlap with the Five Pillars.
