The third one is the thirty day fasting in Ramzan month. The fourth is called Scath which is to extend helping hand to the poor.
Nearly 2.5 percent of the annual income of any Islamic income needs to be donated to the poor. The last one is Islamic pilgrimage called Hajj. Those who are diseased or sick due to illness, and those who are well-to-do, irrespective of gender need to make it to Hajj once in a lifetime. This is made mandatory in their life.
According to the Islamic calendar, Ramzan falls to be the eight month of the year. It was during this month that the Quran was revealed. That is why Ramzan fasting is practiced in this month. Those who are cash-rich should also understand about hunger and starving. They should understand the experiences and difficulties faced by those who long for food.
