    The five pillars of Islam are Shahadah (profession of faith), Salat (prayer), Zakat (charity), Sawm (fasting during Ramadan), and Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). Each pillar has both spiritual and worldly meanings. Spiritually, they focus on developing a direct relationship with God. Worldly, they bind society together through shared religious practices and shape Muslim culture through architecture, education, and global celebrations like Ramadan. The pillars establish a regular pattern of worship that structures daily life both individually and communally.
