Testimony of faith (shahadah), prayer (salah), charity (zakat), fasting (sawm), and pilgrimage (hajj).

If a Muslim doesn't follow the 5 pillars they aren't really considered Muslims.

Answer

5 pillars of İslam are the fundamentals of Islam

1. Saying the Kalima-i shahâdat

It means to say "Ashhadu an lâ ilâha ill-Allah WA ash-hadu Anna Muhammadan 'abduhû WA rasûluh."

(I bear witness [that is, I know and confirm by word of mouth as if I saw] that there is no ilâh save Allah and again I bear witness that Muhammad ('alaihis-salâm) is His human slave and Messenger.) [Having belief in the Messenger of Allah means accepting, believing, and liking all of what he communicated.]

2. Performing namâzes [ritual prayers]

It is fard [obligatory] for every Muslim who is sane and has reached the age of puberty to perform the five daily namâzes. Namâz is the pillar of religion and not to perform it is one of the grave sins. If people do not perform namâzes, it is very difficult for them to keep their credal state at their last breath. It is stated in a hadîth-i sharîf:

(A person who performs namâz will be saved in the Hereafter, but a person who does not perform it will be in a miserable state.) [Tabarânî]

3. Giving the zakât of one's property

For a person who has money or commercial property at a certain amount termed nisâb-that is, after one has subtracted one's debts from the total of what one has of gold or commercial property, if the remainder, including one's dues that are to be received, is the amount of or equal to 96 g-it is fard to give one-fortieth of it as zakât. It is also fard to give one-tenth of the crop harvested from one's land to the poor. This one-tenth of zakât is termed 'ushr.

(Allahu ta'âlâ curses a person who does not give the zakât of his property.) [Nasâî]

4. Fasting

It is fard to fast every day of the month of Ramadân. It is a grave sin to omit it.

5. Performing the hajj [major pilgrimage]

For an able person who has money enough to go to and come back from the city of Mecca besides the property sufficient for the subsistence of one's family one leaves behind until one comes back, it is fard to perform tawâf around the Ka'ba and to perform waqfa on the plain of 'Arafât.
