ISLAM

Extract from: I AM MUSLIM

The Five Pillars of Islam are:


* The testimony that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is His Messenger

* Establishing the prayer, and that one is to pray five times a day: at dawn, afternoon, late afternoon, at sunset and at night (Subuh, Zuhur, Asar, Maghrib and Isya)

* Zakat - giving alms to the poor

* Fasting in the month of Ramadhan

* Performing the Hajj at least once in a lifetime, provided the believer is sane, has reached puberty, is a free man as opposed to being a slave, and financially and physically able to perform the Hajj.


The Six Pillars of Faith (Iman) :

* His Angels

* The Book - Quran

* The Messengers

* Qiamat - the Last Day on earth

* Qada' and Qadar - Divine Preordainment
