Jihad is not One of the Pillars of Islam
The five pillars of Islam are:
Testimony of faith (Kalima)
There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is His Prophet". This Shahadah.
Prayer (Salat)
Five proscribed prayers a day and Friday congregational prayer.
Fasting (Sawm)
Fasting during month of Ramadan Lunar
Almsgiving (Zakat)
Giving proscribed money for the poor.
Pilgrimage (Hajj)
Once in life time pilgrimage to Mecca
It is clearly Jihad is not one of the five pillars. Detractors of Islam want to portray Jihad as the main pillar of Islam. However, Islamic daily prayers and giving money to the poor are the major emphasis of Islam and its foundation. They are much emphasized in Quraan repeatedly.
