it is the 2 largest group that believes in a 

god.they are required to fallow the 4 pillars of 

islam

The first of these is the profession of faith, where a Muslim 

declares, “There is no god but God and Muhammad is the 

messenger of God,” emphasizing the monotheistic nature of 

the religion (Esposito 1998, p. 68). In making this 

declaration, a person becomes a Muslim. The second pillar is 

prayer, or salat. Muslims are instructed to pray at specific 

times, five times a day. Prayers begin with the azan, the call 

to prayer, followed by an ordered series of recitations from 

the Qur’an in conjunction with bowing and prostrations 

toward the direction of Mecca.

 the third pillar of Islam, is a religious tax required of those who 

have enough money to give to the poor and needy. Giving of alms 

is not voluntary, but rather a duty defined by sharia, or Islamic 

law. Fasting during Ramadan is the fourth pillar of Islam. Every 

year, Muslims are required to fast from sunrise to sunset during 

the Islamic month of Ramadan, based on the lunar calendar. 

According to John Esposito (1998), this is a time for Muslims to 

reflect on their spiritual beliefs and gratitude for good health and 

wealth, and to remember their duties toward those who are less 

fortunate than themselves. The final pillar of Islam is pilgrimage, or 

hajj. During the twelfth month of the Islamic calendar, Muslims 

who are physically and financially able are required to perform the 

pilgrimage to Mecca; this needs to be done only once in a person’s 

lifetime.
