(Bismillah Ir Rahmaan Ir Raheem)

This page will try to tell you some things about the SALAT that is the muslim prayer(s). The information provided is true to the best of my knowledge however any contributions from the reader will be appreciated.

  The Five Pillars Of Islam Are  

Creed ( Shahada ) : The verbal commitment and pledge that there is only one god and that Mohammad is the Messenger of God , is considered to be the creed of Islam.

Prayers ( Salat ) : The performance of the five daily prayers is required of Muslims.

Fasting ( Saum ) : Fasting is total abstinence from food , liquids and intimate intercourse (between married couples) from dawn to dusk during the entire month of Ramadan.

Purifying Tax ( Zakaat ) : This is the annual payment of a certain percentage of a Muslim's property which is distributed among the poor or the rightful beneficiaries.

Pilgrimage ( Hajj ) : The performance of pilgrimage to Makkah is required once in a lifetime if means are available . Hajj is in part in memory of the trials and tribulations of Prophet Abraham , his wife Hagar and his eldest son Prophet Ismael.
