"Some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, take the moment & making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity." -Gilda Radner
Salat—called "Namaaz" in Persian (Prayer) – performing the five daily prayers Sawm—called "Roozeh" in Persian (Fast) – fasting during the holy month of Ramadhan Hajj (Pilgrimage) – performing the pilgrimage to Mecca. Zakat (Poor-rate) – paying the poor-tax Khums (One-fifth of savings) – paying tax Jihad (Struggle) – struggling to please God. The greater, or internal Jihad is the struggle against the evil within one's soul in every aspect of life. The lesser, or external, Jihad is the struggle against the evil of one's environment in every aspect of life. This is not to be mistaken with the common modern misconception that this means "Holy War". Writing the truth (jihad bil qalam) and speaking truth in front of an opressor are also forms of Jihad. Amr-Bil-Ma'rûf – commanding what is good
"Nahi-Anil-Munkar" – forbidding what is evil
Tawalla – loving the Ahlul Bayt and their followers Tabarra – dissociating oneself from the enemies of the Ahlul Bayt
