Paper 1
Revise: Five Pillars and Obligatory ActsShi'a Islam has a framework called the Ten Obligatory Acts. These frameworks overlap, so they should not be understood as two entirely separate ways of worshipping.
Distinguish practices from beliefs: the Five Pillars and Ten Obligatory Acts put faith into action.
For a comparison, identify shared duties as well as differences. Shi'a Muslims also accept the Shahadah, although it is not listed among the Ten Obligatory Acts.
Jihad is practised in both Sunni and Shi'a Islam. It is one of the Ten Obligatory Acts, but not one of the Five Pillars.
