What are the central beliefs of Islam, and how are they reflected in the "Five Pillars". Which of the Five Pillars do you feel would be easiest to fulfill, and which would be the most challenging

1) Statement of belief- publicly repeat the Shahadah.
2) Prayers- five times daily while facing Mecca
3) Alms- give 1/4 of income
4) Ramadan- holy season
5) Pilgrimage to Mecca- may have someone do it for you if it is impossible

The Quran denies that Jesus is the Son of GOD; therefore, I find them all equally impossible to fulfill. Also, the Mahdi Hatter really turns me off! :eek:

The Five Pillars of Islam are the following:

The Shahadah or Declaration of faith.
Praying 5 times daily
Paying the poor Tax
The Hajj (Pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina)
Keeping the fast

Probably the easiest to do is keeping the fast, 30 days without eating, drinking, smoking or indulging in sex between Dawn and Dusk.

Hardest: The Shahadah, it implies a commitment I cannot make.
