  1. The 5 Pillars of Islam Class 6

  2. The Five Pillars Muslims obey Five Pillars as an outward sign of their belief. The Five Pillars are: • Shahadah (statement of belief); (2) Salah (prayer); (3) Zakat (giving alms); (4) Sawm (fasting during Ramadan); (5) Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah).

  3. Shahadah • The first of the Five Pillars. • Shahadah is the statement of belief, 'La ilaha illal lahu muhammudur rasulul lah'. (There is no God but Allah; Muhammad (pbuh) is the messenger of Allah).

  4. Salah • Prayer. • Salah at fixed times is essential for believers. • The Prophet prayed five times each day. • These prayers are compulsory for Muslims and are part of the Five Pillars of Islam. • Compulsory prayers are known as fard.

  5. Zakat • Giving alms • This is an obligation for Muslims. • The amount each Muslim pays is based on a portion of income generated. • It might range from 2.5 per cent upwards.

  6. Sawm • Fasting during Ramadan. • During Ramadan (the ninth month of the Islamic calendar) all adult Muslims must fast from dawn to sunset every day for 28 days. • Fasting means they must abstain from eating, drinking and smoking.

  7. Hajj • The pilgrimage to Makkah • Muslims are required to make the pilgrimage at least once in their lifetime. • It lasts for about a fortnight and ends with an Id celebration.
