Detailed explanation-1: -The world’s Muslims turn individually and collectively to Makkah, Islam’s holiest city, to offer five daily prayers at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset and evening. In addition, Friday congregational service is also required.
Detailed explanation-2: -EFFECTS How does carrying out the Five Pillars and other laws of Islam affect the daily lives of Muslims? It compromises their time because they have to pray five times a day. They are also constantly reminded about religion during the day.
Detailed explanation-3: -No matter how sincerely a person may believe, Islam regards it as pointless to live life without putting that faith into action and practice. Carrying out the Five Pillars demonstrates that the Muslim is putting their faith first, and not just trying to fit it in around their secular lives.
