The Islamic culture has five basic rules called the five pillars. They are the back bone of Islam. The first pillar is the belief of only one god. The second pillar is to pray to god, five times a day. The third pillar is to give charity to the poor and aged. The fourth pillar is during Ramadan, a holy holiday, a muslim must fast. Finally, the fith pillar is to go on the Hajj, a pilgramage to Meca, at least once in their life.
