ISLAMIC ARTICLE -:- What are the five pillars of Islam?

The 'Five Pillars' of Islam are the foundation of Muslim life:
*. 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 Makkah for those who are able.
Iman or Faith
"There is none worthy of worship except God and Muhammad is the
messenger of God." This declaration of faith is called the shahadah, a
simple formula that all the faithful pronounce. The significance of
this declaration is the belief that the only purpose of life is to
serve and obey God, and this is achieved through the teachings and
practices of the Last Prophet, Muhammad.
