The First Pillar of Islam: Testimony of Faith
The first part of this testimony states that Allah has the exclusive right to be worshipped inwardly and outwardly, by one’s heart and limbs.

Worship, in its comprehensive sense and all its aspects, is for Him alone.
The Third Pillar of Islam: Compulsory Charity (Zakah)
The whole concept of wealth is considered in Islam as a gift from Allah. Allah, who provided wealth to the person, made a portion of it for the poor. So, the poor have a right over one’s wealth.
