Islam is one of the greatest religions in the world. In carrying out his deeds, Islam strongly prioritizes the peace and goodness of the common people. Islam has a foundation in running all its activities, namely Al-Quran and Hadist. In that foundation, there is an order from Allah Almighty that mankind may believe in the signs of Allah’s greatness. When a Muslim has performed all the commandments of God, and he believes with his words and deeds that “there is no god but God”. Therefore, Islam requires Muslims to practice the “Pillars of Faith”. Running the pillars of Faith is one proof of the devotion of a Muslim to Allah SWT and getting closer to Allah SWT.
Here are the verses in the Qur’an that describe the Pillars of Faith:
O you who have believed, believe in Allah and His Messenger and the Book that He sent down upon His Messenger and the Scripture which He sent down before. And whoever disbelieves in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, and the Last Day has certainly gone far astray. (An-Nisa 4:136)
Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives zakah; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous. (Al-Baqarah 2:177)

All three are. The condition for our worship is accepted by Allah SWT. Believing in Allah Almighty has a function to placate life and save human life in the world and the hereafter. Muslims who have high faith in Allah will do good and good deeds, and are afraid to do acts that can lead to sin.
This is the Quranic proof that explains the Faith to Allah SWT:
Say (O Muslims), “We have believed in Allah, and whatever has been sent down to us, and whatever was sent down to Ibrahim, and Shuaayb, and Ishaq and Yaaqub (Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob, respectively) and the Grandsons, (i.e., the Tribes) and whatever was brought down to Musa and Isa, (Moses and Jesus, respectively) and whatever was brought to the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we are Muslims.” (Al-Baqarah 2:136)
