5 pillars of Islam and Syiah

   Brothers and Sisters,
   The question was regarding the pillars of Islam but the comments proceeded in some other direction - the direction which is misleading. Ummah's division into several sects is Allah's wrath on the Muslims. Surah Ana'm,ayah 65 though addresses mushriqeen but carries the warning for ummah-e-Muhammed(SAW) acccording to Mujahid(RTA). Bokhari(RTA) states in ref to this ayah that ummah will be divided in several firqa, would indulge in in-fighting as a result of Allah's wrath, if Allah so willed. Hadrat Sa'd bin Waqass(RA) is narrated to have said on hearing this ayah that RasoolAllah (SAW) said that this thing will certainly come to pass though had till then not happened.
   Masnad Ahmad n Sunnan state a hadith that RasoolAllah(SAW) said:' Yahudi had 71 firqa, Nasarah was divided into 72 firqa, and this ummah will be in 73 firqa - all are juhanami excepting 1 jamma't.' He(SAW) was asked as to who they were, RasoolAllah(SAW) said,' Those who will be on that(path)on which I and my companions are.'[or as he(SAW) said]. 
   There are good and bad people all around us, irrespective of a sect. connecting someone's 'bad' with that person's sect must be avoided. On the contrary we should be talking of ummah as a whole and keep from taking up matters which create differences and instead bring up matters which result into development of unity and harmony. May Allah show US ALL the Straight Path - the path of those who are rewarded by Allah. Ameen.

That's not true, Grand Ayatollah Khamenei was declare insulting of Sahaba and Wives as Haram

in the Shia community as in the Sunni community, there is a diversion, Ulama Sunnis reject the diversion, as well as Ulama Shia reject the opinion that Ali is god, Ulama Shia reject the opinion " 'Sunni muslims' kafireen and say Sunni are on a wrong path"

Ulama shia was say "Sunni is our brother"

واَعْتصِمُواْ بِحَبْلِ الله جَمِيْعًا وَلاَ تَفَـرَّقوُا

The shia people are not good people, at least those who follow Shia strongly,

1. The insult the Sahabah and say that the angel jibreel made a mistake when he went to the prophet muhamad that instead he should've went to Ali abn abu talib.

2. they Shia cut themselves once a year to "feel the pain of ali" or something like that.

3. The shia worship Ali pretty much, they make dua'a to Ali and not to Allah or they make Dua'a to Ali and Allah so they are mushrikeen.

4. they insult Abu bakar and the other Caliphates that came after him.

5. They call "Sunni muslims" kafireen and say we are on a wrong path

6. They insult Aisha the wife of the prophet muhammad

7. They are in Syria right now, Iranian soldiers and they are killing Muslimeen in the streets in the name of Bashar Al Asad, they are killing Muslimeen thus they are Kofar and when they die we will not pray for them, they are the same as the people who kill the innocent.

Shia Muslims are good people

they fasted during Ramadan

they are very loving Al-Imam Ali bin Abi Talib

Shia women cover their bodies properly

They are a good Muslim

they pray five times a day

they pay zakah

they fasted during Ramadan

and they goto hajj to the holy city of Mecca

Salam, every muslim must fast including shia with no doubt. So if your friend isn't fasting because she thinks it is hard to fast and don't want to tired herself, then she is muslim but munafiq... If she isn't fasting because she doesn't admit with fasting and doesn't consider it, then she is a mushrik whatever her sect is... About hijab, yes alot of girls show their hair while wearing hijab. What they wear isn't considered hijab. It is illegal in Islam. They MUST cover all of their hair. Not even a single hair appears. Wa Allah a'lam

walaikumussalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

what I learned about 5 pillar of Islam in elementary school

1. syahadah
2. shalat 5 times a day
3. fasting on ramadhan
4. zakat
5. hajj, if you can afford it

if you ask about my sect, I don't know what sect I am. if I look to wikipedia, it categorize me to sunni, but we muslim here never call ourselve "we are sunni people/sunni muslim"

I don't know if my answer can clear your doubt, but as a muslim that born from muslim family and studied on an Islamic elementary school, that's 5 pillar of Islam that I know

as far as I know fasting on ramadhan have medical benefit, you can google it on the internet
