Limang Haligi ng Islam - The five pillars of Islam 1. The declaration of faith Is to say with conviction I bear witness with conviction that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His messenger to all human beings till the Day of Judgment. This testimony of faith is called the Shahada, a simple formula which should be said with conviction in order to embrace Islam. It is the most important pillar in Islam. The prophethood of Muhammad, explicit in the testimony, obliges the Muslims to follow his exemplary life as a model. 2. Prayers Prayers are performed five times a day as duty towards Allah. The daily prayers strengthen and enliven the believe in Allah and inspire the Muslim to a higher morality. They purify the heart and prevent temptation towards wrong-doing and evil. 3. Fasting the month of Ramadan The Muslims during fasting in the month of Ramadan are required not only to abstain from food and drink and sexual intercourse from dawn to sunset, but also to refrain from evil intentions, deeds and desires. It teaches love, sincerity and devotion. It develops a sound social conscience, patience, unselfishness and will-power. 4. Zakat To pay annually 2.5% of one's net saving on which a year has passed as a religious duty that is to be given to the poorer sections of the community. 5. Pilgrimage to House of Allah in Makkah Pilgrimage is to be performed once in a lifetime, if one can afford it financially and physically.
