The Ten Commandments and the Five Pillars of Islam both primarily provide a guide to proper moral and ethical behavior.

  • The Ten Commandments, found in the Hebrew Bible (Exodus 20:1-17), outline fundamental principles of right conduct, emphasizing the relationship between individuals and God as well as between individuals and one another.

  • The Five Pillars of Islam are foundational acts of worship and guidelines in Islam, comprising the declaration of faith, prayer, almsgiving, fasting, and pilgrimage. These pillars emphasize ethical behavior, community responsibility, and spiritual commitment.

The other options mentioned do not accurately represent the central teachings of either the Ten Commandments or the Five Pillars of Islam.
