    The 5 Pillars of Islam


    Gallery Walk Stations
    1. The Profession of FaithThe Shahada

    The Profession of Faith, the shahada, is the most important


    expression of Islamic beliefs. If someone wants to become a
    Muslim, he or she makes this profession of faith as an entry
    into Islam. It simply states that There is no God but God and
    Muhammad is his prophet. It is the basis of the monotheistic
    nature of Islam. Muslims repeat this statement many times a
    day during their prayers and it is an extremely popular phrase
    in Arabic calligraphy and appears in numerous manuscripts
    and religious buildings.
    2. Daily PrayersSalat
    Muslims are expected to pray five times a day. This does not
    mean that they need to attend a mosque to pray; rather, the
    salat, or the daily prayer, should be recited five times a day.
    Muslims can pray anywhere; however, they are meant to pray
    towards Mecca. The faithful pray by bowing several times while
    standing and then kneeling and touching the ground or prayer
    mat with their foreheads, as a symbol of their reverence and
    submission to Allah. On Friday, many Muslims attend a
    mosque near midday to pray and to listen to a sermon, khutba.
    3. Alms-Giving (Charity) Zakat
    Muslims believe that they are meant to share their wealth with
    those less fortunate in their community of believers. Islam
    requires an obligatory charity, known as zakat, based on giving
    up two and a half percent of one's income and wealth to the
    poor. In addition to this required charity, Muslims are
    encouraged to give as much as they can in voluntary charity
    throughout the year.
    4. Fasting during RamadanSaum
    During the holy month of Ramadan, the ninth month in the
    Islamic calendar, Muslims are expected to fast from dawn to
    dusk. While there are exceptions made for the sick, elderly,
    and pregnant, all are expected to refrain from eating and
    drinking during daylight hours. During Ramadan, Muslims are
    also supposed to abstain from negative behaviors such as
    lying, gossip, petty arguments, and negative thoughts or
    behaviors, including getting angry.
    5. Pilgrimage to MeccaHajj
    All Muslims who are physically and financially able are required
    to make the pilgrimage (journey) to Mecca and the surrounding
    holy sites at least once in their lives. Pilgrimage focuses on
    visiting the Kaaba and walking around it seven times.
    Pilgrimage occurs in the 12th month of the Islamic Calendar.
    Muslims who complete the pilgrimage are referred to as "Hajji"
    and greeted with great celebration and respect in their
    communities when they return.

    Thousands of Muslins surround the Kaaba in Mecca to pray at the start of


    the Hajj. The Kaaba is said to have been built by the prophet Abraham and
    his son.
