THE 5 PILLARS OF ISLAM


Narrated Ibn 'Umar (RA): Allah's Apostle (saaw)said:
Islam is based on (the following) five (principles): 1To testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is Allah's Apostle. 2To offer the (compulsory congregational) prayers dutifully and perfectly. 3To pay Zakat (i.e. obligatory charity) . 4To perform Hajj. (i.e. Pilgrimage to Mecca) 5To observe fast during the month of Ramadan. (www.searchtruth.com, Sahih Bukhari, Book #2, Hadith #7)
