What are The Five pillars of Islam that every Muslim Must Believe and implement In Life?

The Five Pillars of Islam are the basic acts of worship that form the foundation of Muslim life.  

Shahada

The declaration of faith. This is the proclamation that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is his messenger. This statement is the basic creed of Islam, and all Muslims must recite it.

Salah: The five daily prayers. Muslims are required to perform prayers five times a day, facing towards Mecca. The prayer times are at dawn, midday, mid-afternoon, sunset, and nightfall.

Zakat: The giving of alms. Muslims are required to give a portion of their wealth to the poor and needy. This act of charity is seen as a way to purify one's wealth and to show compassion towards others.

Sawm: Fasting during the month of Ramadan. Muslims are required to fast from dawn until sunset during the month of Ramadan, which is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. This is seen as a way to purify the soul, increase self-discipline, and develop a sense of empathy towards those who are less fortunate.

Hajj: The pilgrimage to Mecca. Muslims who are physically and financially able are required to make a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in their lifetime. This pilgrimage takes place during the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah, and involves a series of rituals that commemorate the life of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and his family.
