Answer 2

Hello.

Laugh out loud-at your point about 'five pillars is somewhere where they go...'

The 5 pillars of Islam must be followed by Muslims. Its their duties:

1) Shahadah- testament of faith:

"I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah"

Without this belief they are not Muslim. The whole foundation lies on this. Without believing in this there is no point in fulfilling the other pillars.Muslims must repeat the shahadah in prayer, and non-Muslims wishing to convert to Islam are required to recite the creed

2) Salah- Prayer

Muslims must pray 5 times a day at the designated times.Salah (Prayer) is performed facing towards the Kaaba in Mecca. Salah is intended to focus the mind on Allah; it is seen as a personal communication with Allah, expressing gratitude and worship.

3) Zakah- Charity

A practice of charitable giving by Muslims based on wealth, and is obligatory for all who are able to do so. It is a personal responsibility for Muslims to ease economic hardship for others and eliminate inequality. Zakah consists of spending a fixed portion of one's wealth for the benefit of the poor or needy, including slaves, debtors and travellers. A Muslim may also donate more as an act of voluntary charity, in order to achieve additional divine reward.

4) Sawm- Fasting

Fasting for muslims is done during the 9th month of the islamic calender-Ramadan.

Its ritual fasting. Muslims must give up food between dawn till dusk. It helps them become stronger in their faith. It allows Muslims to seek nearness to Allah, to express their gratitude to and dependence on him, to atone for their past sins, and to remind them of the needy

5) Hajj-the pilgrim

Hajj is a pilgrimage that occurs during the Islamic month of Dhul-Hijjah to the holy city of Mecca. Every able-bodied Muslim is obliged to make the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in their lifetime if they can afford it. Its a time for muslims to repent and ask for forgiveness. when muslims come back from the Hajj they are like a new born baby-free of sins.
