The five pillars

أركان الإسلام

Islam stands on five. First: there is no god except Allah, and Muhammad is His messenger. Second: pray the five prayers. Third: give zakat if you have enough. Fourth: fast Ramadan when you are old enough. Fifth: Hajj once, if you can.

A house needs all its pillars. You start with the shahada and the prayer. The rest you grow into. Ask your mother or father to show you, not a stranger on a screen.

Remember

Learn the five. Practice the ones you can today. The prayer is first after the shahada.
