Five Pillars of Islam

The five pillars of Islam are basically the guidelines of Islam.  They are a statement of your of faith, daily prayer, giving money to charity, fasting during Ramadan, and a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in your lifetime.  Some of these seem very hard to follow, but it seems like the pilgrimage to Mecca would be the hardest, at least if you lived in the United States.  For Islamic people in America, traveling to Mecca may be very hard to do since it has become very expensive to travel.  That is why I think that the pilgrimage to Mecca is the hardest part of the Five Pillars of Islam.
