Editing Five Pillars of Islam (section)

==Pillars of Shia Islam==
=== Twelvers ===
Twelver Shia Islam has five Usul al-Din and ten Furu al-Din, i.e., the [[Shia Islamic beliefs and practices]]. The Twelver Shia Islam Usul al-Din, equivalent to a Shia Five Pillars, are all beliefs considered foundational to Islam, and thus classified a bit differently from those listed above.<ref>See chapter on "Islamic Beliefs (the Pillars of Islam)" in Invitation to Islam by [[Sayed Moustafa Al-Qazwini]]. http://www.al-islam.org/invitation/ {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120513115652/http://www.al-islam.org/invitation/ |date=2012-05-13 }}</ref> They are:

# ''[[Tawhid]]'' (monotheism: belief in the oneness of God)
# ''[[Adl]]'' (divine justice: belief in God's justice)
# ''[[Nubuwwah]]'' (prophethood)
# ''[[Imamah (Shia)|Imamah]]'' (succession to Muhammad)
# ''[[Mi'ad]]'' (the day of judgment and the resurrection)

In addition to these five pillars, there are ten practices that Shia Muslims must perform, called the ''[[Ancillaries of the Faith]]''<ref>Walsh, John Evangelist. ''Walking shadows: Orson Welles, William Randolph Hearst, and Citizen Kane''. Madison, Wisconsin: University of Wisconsin Press/Popular Press, 2004.</ref> (Arabic: '''furūʿ al-dīn''').

# [[Salah]]: 5 daily prayers
# [[Sawm]]: Fasting Ramadan
# [[Zakat]]: Almsgiving, similar to Sunni Islam, it applies to money, cattle, silver, gold, dates, raisins, wheat, and barley.
# [[Khums]]: An annual taxation of one-fifth (20%) of the gains that a year has been passed on without using. Khums is paid to the [[Imamate in Shia doctrine|Imams]]; indirectly to poor and needy people.
# [[Hajj]]: Pilgrimage to [[Mecca]]
# [[Jihad]]: Striving for the cause of God
# [[Enjoining good and forbidding wrong|Enjoining good]]
# [[Enjoining good and forbidding wrong|Forbidding wrong]]

=== Ismailis ===
{{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".
