    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.

    You can't survive thirty days without water.

    Excerpt:
    Without food, you can survive for weeks. Without water, you can survive around 72 hours.

    Or did you mean alcoholic beverages? If you did, then that definitely is possible.

    The Fast period is DAWN to DUSK. People eat, drink etc during the period DUSK to DAWN.
