The five Pillars of Islam:

 

1. The confession of faith: that there is no god but the one God, and Muhammad is His prophet.

2. Regular performance of the ritual of prayer.

3. The giving of money for the relief of the needy.

4. The fast during Ramadan, the ninth month of the lunar year. The Muslim fasts during the daylight hours for the entire month.

5. The pilgrimage (haj) to Mecca.
