Full context:   Beyond the traditional five pillars of worship in Islam, Isma'ilis observe an additional two pillars, the first being taharah, which translates from Arabic as "purity." Similar to the more general concept of ritual purity in Islam, taharah denotes a pure soul and includes bodily purity and cleanliness; without taharah of the body, clothes, and ma'salla, prayers are not believed to be accepted.
