The 4th pillar is roza, saum or fasting. Fasting for Muslims, especially during the Holy month of Ramadan, is a way to become enhanced enlightened. It is a time to where one gets their mind and body back on track and focused on ALLAH Almighty. Where this pillar could possibly assist with Muslim unity is when at night, after the last scheduled namaz, people go to the masjid and pray with a congregation (jamaat). During this time, the Imam leads all the gathered Muslims through a special namaz for Holy Ramadan called Salah al-Taraweeh.
The 5th pillar, called Hajj, is a requirement that every Muslim have to complete at least once in their life span. There are many rites and rituals that have to be completed in order to fulfil this pillar. Every year more than 1.5 million Muslims go to Makkah in order to perform Hajj. This huge gathering of Muslims of all cultures and races promotes the international brotherhood and also reflects that all Muslims are alike and equivalent in the sight of ALLAH Almighty. Muslims who are financially, physically, and mentally able and stable to source the sacred voyage are required to go. There is not any borrowing of funds by anyone. This “pilgrimage”, as it is called, is the real display of obedience to ALLAH Almighty. This act (or pillar) is of extreme significance because during this voyage the end result of completing all the ritual parts is complete and cleanse of sins.
Makkah is the central point of all Islamic relations. This is the city to where the trip of the 5th pillar brings all Muslims who are capable to perform the Hajj rituals. Hazrat Ibraheem (AS) was directed by ALLAH Almighty to go to build the House of ALLAH for worship. The temple, to this day, is well-known as the place to where all Muslims, as mentioned previous, unite together for the common practice of worshipping ALLAH Almighty.
Contrary to the beliefs of those not united with Islam, Muslims are taught not to be of violent personality. Being violent amongst one another or towards other living things is not living in the one spirit and mind of ALLAH Almighty. The Holy Quran does teach Muslims to unite and defend the Islamic community against all threats, but do not intentionally hurt those that do not pose a threat. Real Muslims, who are constantly practicing these 5 pillars, are more concerned with uniting all cultures, societies and living things than destroying them.
The goals of the 5 Pillars of Islam is to get closer with ALLAH Almighty in mind, spirit, and body and unification within the Islamic communities with all fellow Muslims. If these pillars were never in place, then it would be tough for Muslims to create peaceful relations among all Islamic communities.
