Islam is the heart beat of muslims because it is the only thing due to which muslims can be united and it is keeping balance in this world.Islam is having five pillars.if one pillar breaks the whole building will come down.the five pillars are:

first pillar of islam

1: toheed  –To believe in the oneness of Allah and to believe that Muhammad (s.a.w) is his prophet.

second pillar of islam


2:namaz- Muslims perform the ritual Salat five times a day, just as Muhammad did. Standing, bowing, kneeling, and prostrating the body before Allah and reciting Qur'anic passages teach humility and dependence on Allah. Prayers are performed at dawn, midday, afternoon, sunset, and nightfall. While it is preferable to pray in a mosque (masjid), with fellow believers, it is also permissible to pray alone in a clean place. Many families pray together in their homes, at least in the morning and evening. Before the prayers, Muslims remove their shoes, perform ritual ablutions, and state their intention to worship. In the mosque, prayers are often led by an imam, a learned community member; prayers are performed in cycles of bowing and prostration called rak'a. Muslims, wherever they are, pray in the direction (qiblah) of the Ka'bah in Makkah, usually marked by a mihrab in a mosque wall. Around the world, millions of Muslims pray five times daily, orienting their lives--individually and as a community--toward God.


third pillar of islam

3:zakat-to give 2.5th from all the collected money of one year.it is necessary for all muslims who can afford it to give zakat to their poor muslim brothers.


fourth pillar of islam


4:roza-to keep fast in the way of allah.it brings patience because in it we can not eat from sunrise to sun set.



fifth pillar of islam

5:hajj-The final pillar of Islam is the Hajj, or pilgrimage to the Ka'bah in Makkah, performed during Dhu'l-Hijjah, the last lunar month of the Muslim year. The Hajj recalls the faithfulness of the Prophet Abraham who was ready to sacrifice his son Ishmael at God's command; but it was not God's will. It is both joy and faithfulness that bring millions of Muslims from all over the world to Makkah for this pilgrimage. The Hajj is required at least once of every Muslim in good health and with the financial means. It brings together the world-wide ummah, making clear that Muslims of all races, ethnic groups, and cultures are equal in God's presence, all wearing the same simple white garment, walking and praying and eating together in the most holy places.
