The Five Pillars of Islam.

3. Give charity to the poor.
4. Fast from sunrise to sunset during the holy month of Ramadan—the month in which Muslims believe Muhammad received his first revelations from God.
5. Make the hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca, if a person is able.

Mecca is where the Kabah (house of God) is situated and it was where the Prophet Muhammed was born. During their lifetime, Muslims are expected to worship and obey God, as well as follow the teachings and ways of the Prophet. Muslims, just like anyone else, are also expected to be kind and helpful towards those around them.
