1st Pillar - Shahada
- The testimony of faith is saying with conviction,
La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammadur rasoolu Allah.
This saying means There is no true god (deity)
but God (Allah), and Muhammad is the Messenger
(Prophet) of God. The first part, There is no
true god but God, means that none has the right
to be worshipped but God alone, and that God has
neither partner nor son. This testimony of faith
is called the Shahada, a simple formula which
should be said with conviction in order to
convert to Islam The testimony of faith is the
most important pillar of Islam.

1st Pillar - Continued 2
- If a person does not pronounce the Shahada and
enter Islaam, we cannot say that he is a Muslim,
even if he admired Islaam and recognized that it
the best religion, a great religion, and so on.
Abu Taalib, the uncle of the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) died a kaafir
(non-Muslim), and Allaah forbade His Prophet to
pray for forgiveness for him, even though he used
to defend the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) and said in his poems "I do
know that the religion of Muhammad is better than
all other religions of mankind were it not for
fear of blame or slander, you would find me
accepting it completely."

- Muslims perform five prayers a day
- Each prayer does not take more than a few minutes
to perform - Direct link between the worshipper and God
- There are no intermediaries between God and the
worshipper. - In prayer, a person feels inner happiness, peace,

3rd Pillar Giving Zakat
- All things belong to God, and wealth is therefore
held by human beings in trust. The original
meaning of the word zakat is both purification
and growth. Giving zakat means giving a
specified percentage on certain properties to
certain classes of needy people. The percentage
which is due on gold, silver, and cash funds that
have reached the amount of about 85 grams of gold
and held in possession for one lunar year is two
and a half percent. Our possessions are purified
by setting aside a small portion for those in
need, and, like the pruning of plants, this
cutting back balances and encourages new growth. - A person may also give as much as he or she
pleases as voluntary alms or charity.

4th Pillar Fasting
- Every year in the month of Ramadan, all Muslims
fast from dawn until sundown, abstaining from
food, drink, and sexual relations. - Although the fast is beneficial to health, it is
regarded principally as a method of spiritual
self-purification. By cutting oneself off from
worldly comforts, even for a short time, a
fasting person gains true sympathy with those who
go hungry, as well as growth in his or her
spiritual life.

More than two million people go to Makkah each
year from every corner of the globe. Although
Makkah is always filled with visitors, the annual
