  1. Islam The religious obligations of allMuslims are summed up in the Five Pillars of Islam

  2. The Five Pillars of Islam • Shahadah – giving yourself to God • Salat – praying to Allah • Zakat – giving alms • Ramadan – fasting for 40 days • Hajj – pilgrimage to Makkah or Mecca

  3. Shahadah The individual devotes their life to Allah and will strive to serve him and honour him as the only God – there is no God but Allah to a Muslim.

  4. Salat. • Salat is the practise of prayer. Prayer should be offered five times a day to Allah and personal prayer can happen anytime. • Muslims must pray on a prayer mat so they are praying in a clean place and the air must be clean.

  5. Zakat. • Zakat is the practise of helping the poor by giving alms. This is a personal contribution by Muslims that can afford to give to the poor. It is usually 1/40 of a persons wealth but the contribution is up to the individual. • Giving in this way is intended to free Muslims from the love of money. It reminds them that everything they have really belongs to God

  6. Ramadan. • Abstaining each day during Ramadan, the 9th Muslim month. • Sawm is usually described as fasting. Not only is food forbidden, but also things like smoking and chewing gum.

  7. Hajji • The Hajji is the final pillar of Islam. A Muslim must make this pilgrimage once a lifetime providing they can make provisions for their family. The Hajji is a pilgrimage to Makkah or ‘Mecca’ as the English translation. This is to visit and touch Kaba.
