WHAT ARE THE PILLARS OF ISLAAM?
These pillars are ( I ) the Belief (Eemaan ) that there is no God worthy of worship but Allaah and that Muhammad (Peace and blessings of God be upon him) is his Messenger. (2) Prescribed prayers (SALAAT) which are five times a day, (3) Fasting (SIYAAM ) once a year, during the whole month of Ramadaan, (4) Charity (ZAKAAT) which is paid to the poor and needy once every year. (5) HAJJ which is the pilgrimage to Mekkah once in a lifetime if one can afford it physically and financially. Pillars are part of a building. The building in this case is the perfect human being who cares and protects the rights of all creations and fellow humans thus establishing a society in which justice and peace is supreme.
