[topic sentence] The Five Pillars of Islam are the main things Muslims believe in: faith, prayer, charity, fasting, and journeying. [supporting details in the same order as the topic sentence] Faith means that Muslims declare their most basic belief that there is one God, and “Muhammad is his messenger.” Prayer means that Muslims usually speak to God five times a day as they turn towards the city of Mecca, often while lying flat on the ground. Muslims show charity by giving alms, which is clothing, food, or money that is given to poor people. To celebrate Muhammad’s birth month, Muslims fast, which means they stop themselves from eating or drinking during the daytime. Finally, Muslims make a pilgrimage, a journey to Mecca, because it has religious importance. [concluding sentences] These items called “pillars” are very important to Muslims. Just as an actual pillar supports things above it, these five pillars help Muslims live out what they believe in.
