What are the Five Pillars?
Muslim people (who follow Islam) have five duties
which are called the Five Pillars of Islam. Every

  • 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

    Allah.
