The five pillars affirm that Islam is a religion of active commitment and staunch monotheism. The centrality of these pillars signifies the tremendous role that Islam places upon praxis and submission to the will of God. In each case, the ultimate goal is for the adherent to further his or her unwavering submission to the will of the Allah. Muslim belief in a single line: “ašhadu ‘al-lā ilāha illā-llāhu wa ‘ašhadu ‘anna muħammadan rasūlu-llāh” (“I testify that there is no god (ilah) but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah”). 2. Notwithstanding the differences in ritual and even religious belief or practice, Muslims have a strong sense of belonging to one community – the Ummah. Almost all Islamic monuments have verses from the Holy Koran carving in minute details on walls, ceilings, pillars and domes. I want the fascist Koran banned. If you want to catch Sweden’s Santa Claus, you’d better be around mid-day on Christmas Eve when he arrives. The Islamic elements of architecture had already passed through different experimental phases in other countries like Egypt, Iran and Iraq before introduced in India. Although not actually religious in nature, the tomb or maqbara introduced an entirely new architectural concept.

Rather than creating the concept of arch or dome, Muslims borrowed and further perfected by them from the architectural styles of the post-Roman period.

Islamic architecture in India falls into three sections: Delhi or the Imperial style (1191 to 1557 C.E.); the Provincial style, encompassing the surrounding areas like Jaunpur and the Deccan; and the Mughal style (1526 to 1707 C.E.).

Sometimes exceptions are made to some of these duties in exceptional circumstances. The Five Pillars of Islam refers to “the five duties incumbent on every Muslim,” consisting of the shahadah (profession of faith), salat (ritual prayer), zakat (alms tax), sawm (fasting during Ramadan), and hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). While the prayers may be made at any point within the waqt, it is considered best to begin them as soon as possible after the call to prayer is heard. For example in the case of sickness or lack of space, a worshiper can offer salah while sitting, or even lying down, and the prayer can be shortened when traveling. But this isn’t the case. The ablutions that must be performed to achieve this state of purity can be divided into two categories: wudu and ghusl.

The salah must be performed in the Arabic language to the best of each worshiper’s ability. If he or she cannot speak Arabic, then the native language can be used, although any extra prayers (du’a) said afterwards need not be in Arabic. All prayers should be conducted within the prescribed time period (waqt) and with the appropriate number of units (raka’ah). Do as such again inside the time period of when Maghrib sets in and until three and a half hours. It was once thought that he died in the Infinite Forest, but, thanks to time travel, he survived and exists in the present timeline of the game.

Some Taoist gods were thought to affect human morality and the consequences of it in certain traditions.
