The foundation of every Muslim’s life is built on 5 powerful principles called the Pillars of Islam. These five pillars are the basic duties that every Muslim must follow to live a good and faithful life.

The 5 pillars are:

1. **Shahadah (Faith):** Belief in the oneness of Allah and that Muhammad (SAW) is His final Messenger.
2. **Salat (Prayer):** Performing the five daily prayers regularly and on time.
3. **Zakat (Charity):** Giving a portion of wealth to the poor and needy.
4. **Sawm (Fasting):** Fasting during the month of Ramadan as a sign of self-discipline and devotion.
5. **Hajj (Pilgrimage):** Going to Makkah for Hajj at least once in a lifetime, if possible.

These pillars guide Muslims in their worship, daily life, and how they treat others. Understanding them helps students see the structure and strength behind Islamic teachings.
