Of course, you'll need to read "Five Pillars" in order to make the connections.

Let us know what you come up with.

Answer 2

The 5 pillars are:
1.salah (prayer) --- they pray 5 times a day
2.zakaat (charity) --- There is a specific amount they have to give based on their gold.
3.sawm (fasts) --- They have the month of Ramadan to fast in.
4.shahada --- beleif in one God and Prophet
5.hajj (holy pilgrimage) --- It's actually the time of hajj right now.
