Answer 1

The statement that does not describe some aspect of the Five Pillars of Islam is:

• Muslims give up meat and sweets during Lent each year.

This statement is incorrect because Lent is a Christian observance, not related to Islam. The other statements pertain to the Five Pillars of Islam, specifically the pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj) and the practice of praying five times a day (Salah).
