{{main|Seven pillars of Ismailism}}

[[Isma'ilism|Isma'ilis]] have their own pillars, which are as follows:

* [[Walayah]] "Guardianship" denotes love and devotion to God, the prophets, and the [[Imamah (Ismaili doctrine)|Ismaili Imams]] and their representatives
* [[Tawhid]], "Oneness of God".
* Salah: Unlike Sunni and Twelver Muslims, [[Nizari]] Ismailis reason that it is up to the current imām to designate the style and form of prayer.
* Zakat: with the exception of the [[Druze]], all Ismaili [[madhhab]]s have practices resembling that of Sunni and Twelvers, with the addition of the characteristic Shia khums.
* Sawm: Nizaris and [[Musta'li]]s believe in both a metaphorical and literal meaning of fasting.
* Hajj: For Ismailis, this means visiting the imām or his representative and that this is the greatest and most spiritual of all pilgrimages. The Mustaali maintain also the practice of going to Mecca. The Druze interpret this completely metaphorically as "fleeing from devils and oppressors" and rarely go to Mecca.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://lexicorient.com/e.o/ismailis.htm | title=Isma'ilism | access-date=2007-04-24 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170102062302/http://lexicorient.com/e.o/ismailis.htm | archive-date=2017-01-02 | url-status=live }}</ref>
* Jihad "Struggle": "the Greater Struggle" and "the Lesser Struggle".
