MY PERSPECTIVE OF THE 5 PILLARS OF ISLAM .. Before anything else the 5 pillars of islam are
1. Shahada , which says that "There is no god but Allah , there is no prophet but Muhammad", or the testimony of the Islam faith.
2. Salat or prayer . They pray five times a day. These prayers are only performed after ritual bathing and take place before sunrise, at noon, in the mid-afternoon, immediately after sunset, and before midnight.
3. Zakat or charity this includes that they must give some of their income to the orphanage. And the obligation to give a percentage of one's income and of the value of some property.
4. Saum or fasting , they do this in the month-long celebration of Ramadan. The saum is a fast prescribed only for healthy adult Muslim during 30 days of Ramadan.
5. Hajj or pilgrimage. Once in a lifetime, every Muslim must make the journey to Mecca.
My perspective here , I am amazed that the Islam follower(muslim) was willing to give their income just to help the poor once , and they do and practices the FASTING , and they are so healthy because the toxins inside their body was cleanse. And they memorize what they say and what they pray. But that's the one thing , You can pray without memorizing but it was their culture to memorize prayers. And I also said to my mind , that it is cool to be a Islam follower , because you can do good things and it is in their culture but I am happy that I am a Christian because ONLY GOD CAN SAVES US , NOT IN OUR GOOD DEEDS ..
