Detailed explanation-1: -Profession of Faith (shahada). The belief that “There is no god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger of God” is central to Islam. Prayer (salat). Alms (zakat). Fasting (sawm). Pilgrimage (hajj).
Detailed explanation-2: -The Five Pillars are declaring your faith in God, prayer, charity, fasting during Ramadan and going on pilgrimage to Mecca (also known as Makkah).
Detailed explanation-3: -Sharia is Islam’s legal system. It is derived from the Quran, Islam’s holy book, as well as the Sunnah and Hadith-the deeds and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad. Where an answer cannot be derived directly from these, religious scholars may give rulings as guidance on a particular topic or question. Getty Images.
Detailed explanation-4: -Introduction. Central to faith and practice in Islam are the five pillars outlined in the Hadith of Gabriel, recorded in Sahih Muslim: witnessing (shahadah), the five daily prayers (salat), almsgiving (zakat), fasting during the month of Ramadan (sawm), and the hajj pilgrimage.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
