The Five Pillars

There are not a lot of Islamic practices but are very strong in importance. They are entitled The 5 Pillars of Islam. These five practices are essential to the Muslim faith.
The Five Pillars-
Confession of faith – Fundamental Belief: There is no god but God and Muhammad is the prophet of God
Ritual Prayer
Alms tax
Fasting during Ramadan
Pilgrimage to the Mecca

Hey guys, great job! i think it's pretty awesome to be able to learn about a religion that is so controversial in this day and age. Islam is much more peaceful religion then i had been led to believe by the news reports and such. So thanks for informing the misinformed population!

You only touch very breifly on each of the five pillars. In fact, you merely scratch the surface by naming them. Is it possible to go a little deeper, and perhaps explain the significance behind each, and the origin of the pillars themselves?

I dont really understand how and why the pillars are important to the Islamic faith
