  1. The 5 pillars of Islam

  2. The 5 Pillars of Islam • Faith or belief in the Oneness of God and the finality of the prophethood of Muhammad; • Establishment of the daily prayers; • Concern for and almsgiving to the needy; • Self-purification through fasting; and • The pilgrimage to Mecca for those who are able.

  3. Shahadah - Witnessing • To do this one must simply state publicly "Ashaduallailahailla Allah, waashaduannaMuhammedar-rasool Allah". • This means, "I bear witness that there is no God other than Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammed is His messanger." • A genuine, heartfelt message is needed • Accepting Allah as the one true God and Muhammad as His messanger

  4. Salat - Prayer • In prayer, every muscle of the body joins the soul in prayer to Allah • Prayer is mandatory for men who are sane and mature, and for women who are not menstruating and not with child • Some requirements are needed for prayer: • Performing wudu - ritually cleaning the body clothes and ground used for prayer. • Clothing - one must be covered in the manner according to his gender. • Facing the Ka'ba (refered to as the Qibla) • Intention - merely saying in your mind that you are attempting to pray and gain the benefits from within

  6. Salat - Prayer • Prayer is required at least 5 times a day • Times of the 5 daily prayers are: 1.Fajr-Before sunrise. 2.Zuhr-After the sun begins to decline from its zenith. 3.Asr-Mid-afternoon. 4.Magrib-Just after sunset. 5.Isha-night. • Prayer should be occur at both day and night • Prayer should be made up if missed • Prayer can also be said for times of gratitude towards Allah

  7. Zakah - Charity • Obligatory charity is an act of worship • Purifies your heart of selfishness and greed as well as other negative feelings • Fosters good will and warm wishes • Zakah is paid after paying taxes and other family expenses • Giving your name is not necessary when giving Zakah unless it helps give more by others

  8. Sawm - Fasting • Fasting is abstaining from the following between dawn and sunset: • Eating • Drinking • Sexual encounters • Teaches severe love of God through sacrifice • Fasting is mandatory during the month of Ramadan

  9. Hajj – Pilgrimage • It is obligatory to make on pilgrimage to Mecca once in a person’s lifetime • Muslims from all walks of life assemble at Mecca to praise Allah • It commemorates the rituals of Muhammad and his son, the first pilgrims of Allah • Muslims go to Mecca to glorify Allah, not a man
