1)Shahadah – Saying and believing the truth

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ

2)Prayer-Pray five times a day. These prayers are short moments to pause and reconnect with Allah

3)Zakat-Give a small part of their savings to help people in need

4)Sawm-During the month of Ramadan, Muslims don’t eat or drink from dawn to sunset. It's a time to feel closer to Allah, reflect on life, control desires, and feel compassion for the poor

5)Hajj-ٱلْحَجُّ أَشْهُرٌۭ مَّعْلُومَـٰتٌۭ فَمَن ٱشْتَهَىٰ فِيهِنَّ ٱلْحَجَّ فَلَا رَفَثَ وَلَا فُسُوقَ وَلَا جِدَالَ فِي ٱلْحَجِّ ۗ وَمَا تَفْعَلُوا۟ مِنْ خَيْرٍۢ يَعْلَمْهُ ٱللَّهُ ۗ وَتَزَوَّدُوا۟ فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ ٱلزَّادِ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ ۚ وَٱتَّقُونِ يَـٰٓأُولِى ٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ
