THE ISLAMIC PILLARS
The Pillars of Islam (also known as “Pillars of Religion”) comprise of five core practices considered obligatory for all Muslims. A Muslim must satisfy these obligations in order to live a good and responsible life according to Islam.
SHAHDAH
The Shahadah (Declaration of faith) - Trusting and understanding the words of the Shahadah. The Shahadah means there is no other God except Allah (one God) and Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) is the final Messenger/Prophet of Allah. As it is the key fundamental belief in Islam, a person choosing to embrace Islam must recite Shahadah sincerely.
SALAH
Prayer (Salah) - Performing five daily prayers for the remembrance of Allah (God). They are performed during prescribed timings at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset and night. In Islam, Prayer is a direct link between worshiper and the God and there are no intermediaries.
ZAKAT
Charity or almsgiving (Zakat) - Each year, Muslims are obligated to give a certain percentage (2.5 %) of their wealth to charity in order to help the needy and poor. The literal meaning of Zakat is both “purification” and “growth”. A Muslim may also give as much as he/she pleases as voluntary alms or charity.
HAJJ
The (Hajj) is a pilgrimage that occurs during the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah to the Holy City of Mecca. Every physically and financially able Muslim is obliged to make this pilgrimage at least once in a lifetime.
FASTING
Fasting (Sawm) - Every year in the month of Ramadan, all Muslims Fast from dawn until sundown. In addition to health benefits, fasting is also regarded as a method of spiritual self-purification. By abstaining oneself from worldly desires and comforts, even for a short period of time, a fasting person gains true sympathy with those who go hungary, as well as growth in his/her spiritual life.
