except Allah, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah”.• SALAH. This Pillar is praying five times a day. There are set prayers which
Muslims should say, and all Muslims should face Mecca in Arabia when praying, and should pray on a prayer mat. People should wash before they pray. There are fixed movements, which include kneeling with the forehead placed on the ground in front. This expresses the servant status of the human being in relation to Allah.
