Aspects of the Religion

In Twelver Shia Islam, the ten Ancillaries of the Faith (Arabic: فروع الدين / furūʿ ad-dīn) are the ten practices that Shia Muslims must perform.

According to Twelver doctrine, what is referred to as pillars by Sunni Islam are called the practices or secondary principles. There are three additional practices. The first is jihad, which is also important to the Sunni, but not considered a pillar. The second is Commanding what is just (Arabic: امر بالمعروف‎‎), which calls for every Muslim to live a virtuous life and to encourage others to do the same. The third is Forbidding what is evil (Arabic: النهي عن المنكر‎‎), which tells Muslims to refrain from vice and from evil actions and to encourage others to do the same. Twelvers have five Principles of the Religion which relate to Aqidah.

A Muslim must perform five prayers a day.

A Muslim must fast during the month of Ramadhan.

It says in the Qur'an 2:183) "O you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may guard (against evil).

2:184) For a certain number of days; but whoever among you is sick or on a journey, then (he shall fast) a (like) number of other days; and those who are not able to do it may effect a redemption by feeding a poor man; so whoever does good spontaneously it is better for him; and that you fast is better for you if you know.

2:185) The month of Ramadhan is that in which the Qur'an was revealed, a guidance to men and clear proofs of the guidance and the distinction; therefore, whoever of you is present in the month, he shall fast therein, and whoever is sick or upon a journey, then (he shall fast) a (like) number of other days; God desires ease for you, and does not desire for you difficulty, and (desires) that you should complete the number and that you should exalt the greatness of God for having guided you and that you may give thanks."

A Muslim must perform the pilgrimage (Hajj) to Mecca at least once in his or her lifetime if he is able.
