The Five Pillars of Islam (Duties and practices)
1) The Testimony of Faith:
The testimony of faith is saying with conviction, “La ilaha illa
Allah, Muhammadur rasoolu Allah.” This saying means “There
is no true god (deity) but God (Allah),1 and Muhammad is the
Messenger (Prophet) of God.”
2) Prayer:
Muslims perform five prayers a day. Each prayer does not take
more than a few minutes to perform. Prayer in Islam is a direct
link between the worshipper and God.
3) Giving Zakat (Support of the Needy):
Zakat, or alms-giving, which is giving a fixed portion of accumulated
wealth by those who can afford it to help the poor or needy, and also
to assist the spread of Islam.
4) Fasting the Month of Ramadan:
Every year in the month of Ramadan, all Muslims fast from dawn until
sundown, abstaining from food, drink, and sexual relations.
5) The Pilgrimage to Makkah:
The annual pilgrimage (Hajj) to Makkah is an obligation once in a
lifetime for those who are physically and financially able to perform it.
The life after death
Muslims believe that the present life is only a trial preparation for
the next realm of existence. This life is a test for each individual
for the life after death. A day will come when the whole universe
will be destroyed and the dead will be resurrected for judgment by
God. This day will be the beginning of a life that will never end.
This day is the Day of Judgment. On that day, all people will be
rewarded by God according to their believes and deeds. Those
who die while believing that “There is no true god but God, and
Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of God” and are Muslim
will be rewarded on that day and will be admitted to Paradise
forever.
