Five+pillars+of+Islam

 __By Matthew__

 The Five Pillars of Islam are The Testimony of Faith, Prayer, Support the needy, Fasting the Month of Ramadan, and The Pilgrimage to Makkah. The testimony of faith means “La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammadur rasoolu Allah.” This saying means “There is no true god but God Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of God.” the first part of this is saying that there is no true god but the God. Which means nobody shall be worshipped or preyed too except for Allah. Also that God has no partner or son. The Testimony is called Shahadah which is when you convert to Islam.

 Muslims pray five times a day the prayers are usually less than five minutes long. Prayer are taken place, sunrise, noon, mid afternoon, sunset, and night. During the prayer they have to be facing Mecca at all times. The prayers are very peaceful and comfortable. .

 Also, Muslims celebrate Ramadan which is a holiday celebrated for a month which Muslims can only eat when the sun is down. the point of this is to be grateful on what you have. It celebrated every 9 months, and is also when Allah sent down the Quran.

 Another thing that is part of the Five Pillars is giving money to the less needy it is 2.5% of taxes and is taken to the needy every year. Muslims don't just do this to help the poor, it is also a way to please Allah. this pleases Allah because Allah for there belifs is that Allah gives them there wealth to see if they will spend on stuff that they dont need or give the money that is exstra to people that are needy for the stuff that requries for them to live.

 Lastly, the pilgrimage to Makka is a place in Hajj in Saudi Arabia were Muslims must go even if rich or poor it is suppose to be a place were Allah is calling for you.
