Islam is based on 5 simple pillars:
Belief that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His messenger.
(Allah is the Arabic name/word for God)
Prayer: Muslims pray five times a day. Once before dawn, once at noon, once in the afternoon, once at sunset, and lastly at night.
Fasting. Muslims fast from all food and drink during the month of Ramadan for 30ish days (depending on the lunar calendar) from sunrise to sunset.
Charity. It is required from every Muslim that makes more than $10,000 to pay 2.5% charity per year.
Hajj. As long as they are able (financially and health-wise) to take the trip, Muslims must perform pilgrimage in Mecca, Saudia Arabia. At least once in a lifetime.
