It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Islam is built on five (pillars):
bearing witness that there is no god except Allaah and that Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allaah, establishing prayer, paying zakaah, Hajj and fasting Ramadaan.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 8; Muslim, 16. 
The Five Pillars of Islam ( arkān al-Islām ‫ ;أركان اإلسالم‬also arkān ad-dīn ‫أركان الدين‬
"pillars of the religion ") are some basic acts in Islam, considered mandatory
by believers, and are the foundation of Muslim life. They are summarized in
the famous hadith of Gabriel.

The 1st pillar is Shahadah.

The Shahadah is the Muslim declaration of Faith. In Arabic
 [ʾašhadu ʾan] lā ilāha illā-llāh, wa [ʾašhadu ʾanna] muḥammadan rasūlu-llāh. In
English,
 “[I testify that] there is no god (ilah) but God (Allah), and [I testify that]
Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”
The 2nd pillar is Salaah
Salaah is prayers, that are performed five times a day. Prayers are said at dawn,
mid-day, late-afternoon, sunset and nightfall. Each salaah is performed facing
towards the Kaba. Salaah is compulsory on all Muslims. Prayers help Muslims
communicate and worship Allah.

The 3rd pillar is Zakaat

Zakaat is charity given to the poor and needy. Zakat means “purification.” Each
Muslim calculates his or her own zakah individually. The Prophet said, “Even
meeting your brother with a cheerful face is an act of charity.” The Prophet also
said: “Charity is a necessity for every Muslim.”
The 4th pillar is Saum.
Saum is fasting in the 9th month of the Islamic calendar which is in the month of
Ramadhan. It is an obligatory act for all adults and children from the age of
puberty. It helps develop self-control and helps us to overcome selfishness, greed
and laziness. Muslims abstain from eating and drinking from dawn to sunset.

The 5th pillar is Hajj.

Hajj is to visit the Kaba, in Mecca during the Islamic month of Dzul – Hijjah. It is
obligatory for every Muslim to perform Hajj once in his, or her, lifetime unless
there is no financial or physical ability. Everyone wears white clothes to show we
are all equal.
