The Five Pillars of Islam are pillars that show what Muslim people must do in order to be a good Muslim. The pillars have different rules I will name them. The first pillar is a statement of faith, Muslims must say out loud "There is no god but God, and Muhammad is his prophet". The second pillar is that Muslims must pray five times a day, they can pray in a group at a mosque or by themselves. The times they  must pray are before sunrise, at midday, late afternoon, after sunset, and before going to bed. The third pillar says that Muslims must give to the poor and needy. A part of their wealth goes to a religious official. The fourth pillar says they must fast during the holy month of Ramadan. They must not eat or drink anything from dawn to sunset. The fifth pillar is that they must travel to Mecca at least once in their lifetime.
              I think the hardest pillar for me would be the fourth pillar.  I would find it very hard and difficult, because you would have to fast for at least ten hours daily. I don't know that I could do that because I'm so used to eating three times a day.I would find it very difficult to go throughout most of the day without even drinking a sip of water. My day is so busy I'm constintely burning calories,I need to refuel my body. I don't think that I could perform my best without eating or drinking water. I feel fasting for a week is hard I couldn't imagine a month.
