Reworded the beginning of the article. Originally extremely misleading. it is the view of a very small minority of Muslims that a "sixth" pillar of Islam exists. The sentence has been reworded to point out it is the Kharijites that believed in this idea. |

There are only five main pillars of Islam that form the basis of Islamic practice. The Kharijites upheld the belief that Jihad may be considered the sixth pillar of Islam[1]. In Islam, it could be an individual's internal struggle against baser instincts, the struggle to build a good Muslim society, or a war for the faith against unbelievers.[2] So jihad is the fight to defend Islam (holy war) that must be practiced.[3]
In Twelver Shi'a Islam, the second-largest branch of Islam, jihad is one of the ten Practices of the Religion.
Jihad was brought up in controversial magazine Charlie Hebdo, which suffered a terrorist attack in 2015, stirred controversy with its coverage of Tariq Ramadan, with a headline that associated him with the Sixth Pillar of Islam. It was brought up since jihad is the pillar that sustains this type of practice in Islam.
