1) Iman (Faith) - "There is none worthy of worship except God and Muhammad is the messenger of God."
2) Salah (Prayer) - Salah is the name for the prayers that are performed 5 times a day, and are a direct link between the worshiper and God.
3) Zakah (Almsgiving) - An important principle of Islam is that everything belongs to God, and that wealth is therefore held by human beings in trust. The word "Zakah" means both "purification" and "growth."
4) Sawm (Fasting) - Every year in the month of "Ramadan," all able Muslims fast from dawn until sundown; abstaining from food, drink, and sexual relations with their spouses. Muslims fast for the pleasure of Allah. There are also a lot of charitable deeds. Muslims may feed a needy neighbor, feed the poor, etc. It sets them on a spiritual level because they are unable to eat or drink. So by fasting, they are not only pleasing Allah, but can also obtain a feel for people less fortunate than their selves.
5) Hajj (Pilgrimage) - The pilgrimage to Makkah (also spelled Mecca); the hajj; is an obligation only for those physically able to do so. Even so, over 2 million people perform a pilgrimage to Makkah each year from every corner of the globe. After a Muslim has carried out their pilgrimage, they have taken a step closer to God by visiting His house, the first house of worship on Earth.

The five pillars of Islam are the foundation of Muslim life: faith or belief in the Oneness of God and the finality of the prophethood of Muhammad; establishment of the daily ritual prayers; self-purification through fasting; and the pilgrimage to Makkah for those who are physically and financially able to go.

Get the Five Pillars of Islam mug.Known for Quahogs, the best seafood, clams bakes, and sailing around the Narragansett bay. Also known for tall ships and wicked awesome beaches (and some which you can find sea glass on)! We like tourists except for Massholes over the years of Mass being jealous of our beautiful landscape and independent nature. If one knows better they will not F*** with a Rhode Islander with our lengthy history of Privateering and doing what ever the F*** we want to do.
Also known for using the F word religously/frequently.
Where the forest meets the ocean-that is Rhode Island...
Excellent Italian dishes as well as seafood where ever you go. I do recommend staying farther south when visiting Rhode Island because the farther North you go, the closer you get to Massholes that screw everything up, and have those ugly license plates. Unless you are on your way to Maine, and in that case you must pass through the Masshole state.
We've got blinkers, and bubblas, and sometimes don't pronounce our R's.
Name Rhode Island came from it either resembling the Isle of Rhodes in the Mediterranean sea, or due to fact that Newport is like a road, long and skinny.
