  1. The Five Pillars of Islam We are looking at: The Five Pillars of Islam

  2. What are the Five Pillars? Muslim people (who follow Islam) have five duties which are called the Five Pillars of Islam. Every Muslim tries to carry out these five things, and it helps them to feel that they are members of the worldwide Muslim community.

  3. Pillar 1: SHAHADAH This Pillar is believing and saying the words. “There is no god except Allah, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah”. Muslims say this when they are praying, it is first words a Muslim baby hears when they are born and it is called from a Mosque before prayer time. Why do you think Muslims say this so frequently?

  4. Pillar 2:SALAH This Pillar is praying five times a day. There are set prayers which Muslims should say, and all Muslims should face Mecca in Arabia when praying, and should pray on a prayer mat. People should wash before they pray. There are fixed movements, which include kneeling with the forehead placed on the ground in front. This expresses the servant status of the human being in relation to Allah. How do you think doing something 5 times per day would effect their belief in God

  5. Pillar 3: ZAKAH Each year, Muslims are supposed to give a some of their savings for charity such as helping the poor. In this way, they believe that their wealth is “made pure” 2.5% How do you think this Makes Muslims feel? Do you think their lives are made are made more challenging because they have to do this?

  6. Pillar 4: SAWM Muslim people must not eat food and drink during the month of Ramadan during daylight hours. How do you think fasting would enable a Muslim to reflect on their lives?

  7. Pillar 5: HAJJ This is making a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in your life, if it can be afforded. Why do you think Muslims are expected to do this? What difficulties do you think Muslims may have with upholding this Pillar? How do you think this may change their lives?
