1) Shahadah (profession of faith)—There is no god except one God (Allah) and Muhammad is His prophet
2) Salat (prayer)—the five daily prayers are performed facing the direction of Mecca
3) Zakah (alms) –In accordance with Islamic law, Muslims donate a fixed portion of their income to those in need.
4) Sawm (fasting)— During the daylight hours of Ramadan(the ninth month of the Islamic calendar), healthy adult Muslims abstain from food and drink to renew their awareness and gratitude for everything God has provided, including the Qur'an (first revealed during this month). It is also a reminder to help those less fortunate.
5) Hajj (pilgrimage): Muslims make a pilgrimage to Mecca to the Ka'bah at least once in their lifetime.
