In the image it shows the 5 pillars that represent parts of Islam and are separated by names.
They are Shahadah, Salat, Sawm, Haji and Zakat.
These 5 pillars are similar to the 10 commandments in Christianity.
In the Islam Quran, the Hadith of Gabriel is where the pillars are mentioned and this part is considered the most important of the Quran. Some people think that the Haji pillar should be the 5th pillar.
The Haji pillar is represented by the pilgrimage of Mekka which is a place in Hejaz which attracts millions of Muslims around the world to worship in unison.
