1 answer

The Five Pillars of Islam include:

  1. Shahada (Faith): The declaration of faith.
  2. Salah (Prayer): Performing the five daily prayers.
  3. Zakat (Charity): Donating a portion of one’s savings to help the less fortunate, typically calculated as 2.5% of wealth annually.
  4. Sawm (Fasting): Observing fasting during the month of Ramadan, not specifically on Wednesdays each week.
  5. Hajj (Pilgrimage): Making an annual trip to Mecca, if physically and financially able.

Based on these pillars, the statements that align with the Five Pillars of Islam are:

  • Making an annual trip to Mecca (related to Hajj)
  • Donating money to a charity each year (related to Zakat)

The other options regarding daily mosque attendance and fasting on Wednesdays do not align with the requirements of the Five Pillars of Islam.
