- To fast during the month of Ramadan.
- To perform the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca.

- To love and follow Ali ibn Abi Talib and his family.

These directives are considered to be fundamental principles of Shia Islam and are often recited and studied by Shia Muslims. The term Awamir-i-Ashara means “ten directives” in Arabic.
