Five pillars

The Five Pillars of Islam (Arabic: أركان الإسلام, Arkān al-Islām; Persian: پنج ستون اسلام, Panj Soton-e Eslām; Turkish: İslam'ın Beş Şartı; Urdu: اسلام کے پانچ ستون, Islām ke Pānch Stūn) are the core practices that are considered mandatory acts of worship (ibadah) in Islam. They are accepted by Sunni, Shi'a and Ibadi Muslims. Shia Muslims also have an alternative interpretation for some, but the general procedure is the same. The Quran presents them as a framework for worship and a sign of commitment to the faith. The Five Pillars consist of shahada (the declaration of faith), salat (ritual prayer), zakat (almsgiving), sawm (fasting during the month of Ramadan), and hajj (the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in a lifetime for those who are able). These acts are regarded as a comprehensive manifestation of a Muslim's faith and submission to the will of God (Allah).
