Answer 1

Zakah; when Muslims put a part of their wealth aside to give it to the poor people
Sawm; when Muslims fast in the holy month of Ramadan for 30 days. They don't drink water or eat any food. They wake up at fajr, eat a little bit then break their fast at Maghreb
Hajj; when Muslims travel to he holy site of a Mecca and perform their pilgrimage/ taw after around the kaabah
Shahadah; when Muslims bear witness that there is no god by Allah (the most glorified, the most high) and Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is his last messenger

Answer 2

The most important Muslim practices are the Five Pillars of Islam.

The Five Pillars of Islam are the five obligations that every Muslim must satisfy in order to live a good and responsible life according to Islam.

The Five Pillars consist of:

Shahadah: sincerely reciting the Muslim profession of faith

Salat: performing ritual prayers in the proper way five times each day

Zakat: paying an alms (or charity) tax to benefit the poor and the needy

Sawm: fasting during the month of Ramadan

Hajj: pilgrimage to Mecca

Why are they important?

Carrying out these obligations provides the framework of a Muslim's life, and weaves their everyday activities and their beliefs into a single cloth of religious devotion.

No matter how sincerely a person may believe, Islam regards it as pointless to live life without putting that faith into action and practice.

Carrying out the Five Pillars demonstrates that the Muslim is putting their faith first, and not just trying to fit it in around their secular lives.
