Five pillars of islam

Sana's dad came into school to speak to us about the five pillars of islam. The 1st pillar is SHADAH that means you have to believe there is only one God. Mohamed is the messenger. Muslims still believe in heaven and hell like Christians do.We found it really interesting. the second pillar is Prayer, it is a time where you talk to God this is another similarity between Christianity and Muslim. Christians pray to God as well. Also they have to pray five times a day! Sunrise, afternoon , mid afternoon, dusk and last of all evening. The third pillar is Charity. Muslims have to count up their money that they have earned and they have to donate 2.5% (if the have £100 then that would be £2.50) they only donate if they have over £800
