The Messenger of Allah , peace be on him , said : Islam is built on five pillars :
      1-Ashahaadah (the profession of faith) which must be recited by anyone embracing Islam . (La ilaha illallah ,Muhammad Rasoolullah ) meaning : '' There is no true God except Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah ''

     2-Asallah (Prayers) ,which must be performed five times a day . The first is Fajr prayer ,{two rak'aat  (units )};which is performed between dawn and sunrise , The second is Dhuhr, just afternoon, {four rak'aat}, The third is Asr. In the later afternoon,{four rak'aat} , The fourth is Maghrib , {three rak'aat} immediately after sunset , The fifth is Isha, { four rak'aat}, after the sun's redness disappears from horizon.
     Prayer is one of the greatest pillars of Islam, It is the first act of worship about which man will be asked on the Day of Reckoning .If it is accepted by Allah, then the rest of man's good deeds are accepted too.

     3-Azakaah , which is one of the greatest financial institutions of Islam, literally meaning ' purifications ' , indicating that such a payment makes the rest of Muslim's wealth pure .

     4-Asawm (fasting ) to be observed during the month of Ramadan .It begins at daybreak (dawn) , and ends at sunset. Eating ,drinking and sexual activities with one's wife are forbidden . Besides health benefits which one gains through fasting, it helps to share the feeling of hungry in the community . Fasting also allows one to be more charitable .

     5-Al –Hajj (pilgrimage )to Makkah, prescribed for those Muslims who can afford the trip financially and health wise ,once in a lifetime .The Hajj rights take place during the Islamic months of Shawwal , Dthl -Qi'dah and the first ten days of Dthul-Hijjah only . It a precondition for the pilgrim to enter the state of Ihram at a certain point before entering the boundries of Makkah.
