[1][2][3] According to Twelver doctrine, what is referred to as pillars by Sunni Islam are called the practices or secondary principles or obligatory acts.
[citation needed] After the pillars of Islam, the Ancillaries of the Faith include jihad, Commanding what is just (Arabic: أمر بالمعروف), Forbidding what is evil (Arabic: النهي عن المنكر),[4][5][6] Khums, a 20 per cent annual tax paid on any profit earned by Shi’a Muslims; Tawalla, showing love to God and other good Muslims; Tabarra, disassociation from the enemies of God.
[9] Fasting in Islam refers to completely refrain from food, drink, smoking, and sexual activity during the day from dawn to dusk.
[13][14][15] In Islamic terminology, Hajj is a pilgrimage made to Kaaba, the ‘House of God’, in the sacred city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
The rites of Hajj begin on the eighth and ending on the thirteenth day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic calendar.
[16] Ihram is the name given to the special spiritual state in which pilgrims wear two white sheets of seamless cloth and abstain from certain actions.
[17][18][19] The Hajj is associated with the life of Islamic prophet Muhammad from the 7th century, but the ritual of pilgrimage to Mecca is considered by Muslims to stretch back thousands of years to the time of Abraham.
During Hajj, pilgrims join processions of hundreds of thousands of people, who simultaneously converge on Mecca for the week of the Hajj, and perform a series of rituals: Each person walks counter-clockwise seven times around the Kaaba (the cube-shaped building and the direction of prayer for the Muslims), runs back and forth between the hills of Safa and Marwah, drinks from the Zamzam Well, goes to the plains of Mount Arafat to stand in vigil, spends a night in the plain of Muzdalifa, and performs symbolic Stoning of the Devil by throwing stones at three pillars.
Based on these two principles, unity is establishing in society by following truth, justice, freedom, purity and the impure, oppressive, and the unjust ones are stopped.
