What are the five pillars of Islam?

The five pillars are the shahada (testifying that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His Messenger), establishing the five daily prayers, giving zakat, fasting the month of Ramadan, and performing Hajj for those able to do so. The Prophet ﷺ named these as the foundation upon which Islam is built.
