Hello and Assalamo Alaikum(may peace be with you)!

Knowing the fact that Baha'is beleive in the authority of the Quran
and regard Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) as a true Prophet, I would
like to know what your stand point concerning the five pillars of Islam.
To what extent do Bahai's follow these basic plillars,and if any of them
have been abbrogated by the Baha'i faith, namely:

1) To declare the Oneness of Allah, and Hazrat Muhammad(pbuh) being His
Messenger.
2) Performance of Prayers.
3) Observance of fast during the holy month of Ramzaan.
4) Paying Zakat.
5) Performing Haj(Pilgrimage to Mecca).

I thank you in advance. Wassalam.
