Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle said: Islam is based on (the following) five (principles):

2. To offer the (compulsory congregational) prayers dutifully and perfectly.
3. To pay Zakat (i.e. obligatory charity) .
4. To perform Hajj. (i.e. Pilgrimage to Mecca)
5. To observe fast during the month of Ramadan.

There are pillars in nature, pillars in space,
pillars in Italy,
pillars in England....
and there are pillars of Islam...
This was, at one time, a PowerPoint presentation and is currently in PDF format.
Posters/Anchor Charts
Pillars of Islam Definitions Poster - Arabic text, English transliteration and English translation of the pillars.
Please note: I realized when I was reposting this resource that in the poster it says "sawmi Ramadan" with the "sawm" written with a kasrah (i)ending. Technically, in the poster, it stands alone so it should read with a "dammah." In the context of the hadith of Ibn Umar about the pillars, it actually takes the kasrah then....
This is one of the first Islamic Studies computer printables I made for my kids. When I started homeschooling in 1998, I made most of our stuff by hand.
Pillars of Islam Activities
Pillars of Islam Writing Practice
Student reads the clue and fills in the blank with the pillar that matches.
This printable is really versatile as students can match up many things in it. They can match a picture of a pillar to its term in English and/or Arabic; they can match a definition to the term or picture, etc, so it makes it adaptable for different ages and literacy abilities, in shaa Allah.
In this Pillars of Islam Sort, your student will read clues and sort the clue cards under the correct pillar which the clue describes.
Please note: On the third card (middle card) of the third row it says "On the day of Judgment, no one will accept this." There was a typo and it should not say "on the Day of Judgment." This is one of the signs of the approaching of day of Judgment, but the hadith did not say on the Day of Judgment.
Also, the sorts are great for file folder activities.
Note: In the posters with the shahadah, the word "Muhammad" Arabic has an alif on the end that does not belong. Tip: White out before photocopying/presenting to student. (I no longer have the original to edit)
10/2012: A visitor pointed out that the second Meem in Muhammad (sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam is missing)

Notebooking/Lapbooking
Pillars of Islam - 5 Tab Book foldable (B&W, PDF) - Learn/review the Pillars of Islam with this 5 tab book. Need six sheets of paper per book.
(I caught a few typos after I took the pics and they have been corrected. Of course, please let me know if you catch anymore!) Also, when making the corrections, the file became corrupted and wasn't loading all the pages, but they should all be showing up now inshaa Allah--they were for me)
Sawmul Ramadan changed to Sawmu Ramadan
Sometimes changed to some times
A lapbooking/scrapbook kit I made up for the pillars of Islam. It contains lots of different elements to color, cut out, and paste.....
Pillars of Islam Unit Cover
I made up a learning file folder to hold my Pillars of Islam activities and worksheets and this was the cover for it. The picture could be cut out and used for a lapbook or title page for notebooking.
