Editing Five Pillars of Islam (section)

== Overview of the Five Pillars of Islam ==
The ritual obligations of Muslims are called the Five Pillars.<ref name="Kamal-ud Din 2010">Kamal-ud Din, Khwaja. Five Pillars of Islam. Nabu Press, 2010.</ref> They are acknowledged and practiced by Muslims throughout the world, notwithstanding their disparities. They are viewed as compulsory for individuals who genuinely wish to pursue a life like that which [[Prophets and messengers in Islam|Islamic prophet]] [[Muhammad]] led. Like other religions, Islam holds certain practices to be standard; however, that does not imply that all individuals who regard themselves as Muslims necessarily observe them.<ref>Schumm, Walter R., and Alison L. Kohler. "Social cohesion and the five pillars of Islam: comparative perspective." ''American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences'' 23.2 (2006): 126.</ref> Individual participation can vary depending on the individual's faith; for example, not every individual prays every day, keeps the fast, performs the [[Hajj]], or donates extensively to charity. There are also Muslim communities such as [[Alevi]]s who reject the Five Pillars but follows [[Four Doors]] system.

Shortly after the Muslim Arabs conquered new terrains, they started raising mosques and castles and commissioning different commemorations and artifacts as articulations of their faith and culture. The religious practice of Islam, which signifies "submission to God", depends on fundamentals that are known as the Five Pillars.<ref>Syeed, A. & Ritchie 2006. Children and the Five Pillars of Islam: Practicing Spirituality in Daily Life.</ref> Each of the five pillars is alluded to in the Quran, though in various chapters (''[[suwar]]''). Further insights concerning these commitments are given in the [[Hadith]].<ref>Hussain, Musharraf.

Though comparable practices were performed in pre-Islamic Arabia and by Jews and Christians at the time of Muhammad, they were changed in the Quran and Hadith, given a carefully monotheistic center, and identified with the life of Muhammad.{{citation needed|date=June 2020}} In the Quran, in spite of the fact that the Shahada does not show up in full, Quran {{qref|8|20|pl=y}} urges the individuals who accept to obey God and his Messenger. Prayer is alluded to multiple times, with prayer times referenced in Quran {{qref|20|130|pl=y}}, and the demonstrations of bowing and prostrating in 48.29. In a few chapters, Muslims are urged both to pray and give alms (for example Q.{{qref|5|12|pl=y}}), however what, when and to whom gifts ought to be made is clarified in more detail in the hadith.{{citation needed|date=June 2020}} There is a critical entry on fasting in the Quran ({{qref|2|183-187|pl=y}}), which alludes to the period of Ramadan and sets out the detail on who ought, and ought not fast, to a certain extent under specific conditions. Regarding the matter of the Hajj, the longest Quranic section ({{qref|2|196-203|pl=y}}) recommends the destination location of the pilgrimage, the lead and exercises of the individuals who participate, urging them to have God as a top priority consistently.{{citation needed|date=June 2020}}
