To get right with God, Muslims are taught to follow the 5 pillars of Islam: 1. Confess belief in one God and Mohamed as His prophet 2. Perform prescribed purification and bowing ritual Islamic ‘prayer’ 5 times daily 3. Purification by giving to charity and the needy 4. Fast the daylight hours of the lunar month of Ramadan 5. Travel once in a lifetime in ritual pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. (A city to which nonMuslims may not approach.) Muslims from Arab lands and around the world who desire to get right with God travel to Mecca, Saudi Arabia all the year round. Saudi Arabia welcomes visitors. The country brings in more revenue annually from hosting Muslim pilgrims than from its vast oil resources.
