Personal Narrative: The Five Pillars Of Islam

A few days in the Arabian Peninsula are very difficult, the weather is always changing, in the day it would be super hot, but when the sun goes down… it gets as cold as snow.

The five pillars are five acts that are worshiped and required by all the Muslims.the first pillar is saying “Their is not god but God, and Muhammad and his prophet”.
