Shahadah
Profession of faith, is the first pillar of Islam. Muslims
bear witness to the oneness of God by reciting the
creed "There is no God but God and Muhammad is
the Messenger of God." This simple yet profound
statement expresses a Muslim's complete
acceptance of and total commitment to Islam.
Salah
The Islamic faith is based on the belief that individuals have a
direct relationship with God. The world's Muslims turn
individually and collectively to Makkah, Islam's holiest city, to
offer five daily prayers at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset
and evening. In addition, Friday congregational service is also
required. Although salah can he performed alone, it is
meritorious to perform it with another or with a group. It is
permissible to pray at home, at work, or even outdoors;
however it is recommended that Muslims perform salah in a
mosque.
Zakat
Social responsibility is considered part of one's
service to God; the obligatory act of zakat enshrines
this duty. Zakat prescribes payment of fixed
proportions of a Muslim's possessions for the
welfare of the entire community and in particular for
its neediest members. It is equal to 2.5 percent of an
individual's total net worth, excluding obligations and
family expenses
Saum
Ramadan, is the fourth pillar of Islam. Ordained in the Holy Qur'an,
the fast is an act of deep personal worship in which Muslims seek a
richer perception of God. Fasting is also an exercise in self-control
whereby one's sensitivity is heightened to the sufferings of the
poor. Ramadan, the month during which the Holy Qur'an was
revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, begins with the sighting of
the new moon, after which abstention from eating, drinking and
other sensual pleasures is obligatory from dawn to sunset.
Ramadan is also a joyful month. Muslims break their fast at sunset
with a special meal, iftar, perform additional nocturnal worship,
tarawih, after evening prayer; and throng the streets in moods that
are festive and communal. The end of Ramadan is observed by
three days of celebration called Eid Al-Fitr, the feast of the breaking
of the fast. Customarily, it is a time for family reunion and the
favored holiday for children who receive new clothing and gifts.
Hajj
The pilgrimage to Makkah, is the fifth pillar and the most
significant manifestation of Islamic faith and unity in the
world. For those Muslims who are physically and
financially able to make the journey to Makkah, the Hajj
is a once in a lifetime duty that is the peak of their
religious life. The Hajj is a remarkable spiritual gathering
of over two million Muslims from all over the world to
the holy city. In performing the Hajj, a pilgrim follows the
order of ritual that the Prophet Muhammad performed
during his last pilgrimage
Niqaab

Hadiths about Niqab
Surah Al-Ahzaab, Verse #59
O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of
the believers to draw their cloaks ("Jalabib") veils all over their
bodies (screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye
to see the way Tafseer Al-Qurtabi) that is most convenient that they
should be known (as such) and not molested: and Allah is Oft-
Forgiving Most Merciful."
Surah An-Nur, Verses #30 and #31
And Say to the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking
at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal
sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that
which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or
outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, head
cover, apron), and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e. their
bodies, faces, necks and bosoms)
