Islam_And_The_Five_Pillars

Islam And The Five Pillars (First Pillar) There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is the prophet of Allah. This is the Shahada, which is the first pillar of the Islamic faith. In order to become a Muslim, one must say these words. Even though, I am Muslim, I say the Shahada many times a day. I say it because my mom told me to say this whenever I feel sad, angry, or depressed. The reason being because during times or hardship when one remembers Allah, Allah will remember him. I believe, and it is the truth, that the Shahada is the basis and underlaying foundation of Islam. One cannot practice Islam or call himself Muslim if he does not believe in God AND that Muhammad is the messenger of God. The Shahada is of much significance of my faith, hence this is why it is the number one Pillar in Islam. (Second Pillar) The Second Pillar of Islam is Prayer or Salat in Arabic. Prayer is the Second Pillar because in the Qu¡¯ran it is the Pillar that is recognized the most and is believed to be the only Pillar that was ordered pillar, god, because, muslims, islam, hajj, one, muslim, fasting, must, give, feel, zakat, shahada, say, ramadan, pilgrimage, muhammad, made, important, during, believe, back, am, allah, years, year, very, show, second, salat, qu¡¯ran, put, prophet, poor
