    "Islam is based on five (pillars): testifying that there is no true god except Allah and that Muhammad ( may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him )  is His slave and Messenger; performing of Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat); the payment of Zakat; performing Hajj (pilgrimage) to the House [of Allah (Ka'bah)]; and Saum (fasting) during the month of Ramadan."

    [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
