LITTLE EXPLANATION OF 5 PILLARS OF ISLAM
شرح بسيط لأركان الإسلام
1. Shahadah:
(لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا ٱلله مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ ٱلله)
(Laa ilaaha illal-laah, Muhammad Rasoululllaah)
It is the decisive belief expressed on the tongue as though one sees with his own eyes the certainty of his firm conviction. the two testimonies Laa ilaaha illal-laah, and Muhammad Rasoulullaah, are the (required) bases for the rightness of deeds and of their acceptance, since both, the validity and acceptance of deeds, cannot be achieved without Ikhlass to Allaah (sincere devotion of intentions to Allaah alone) and Mutaba'ah (following) of Rasoulullaah ().
Some benefits: the liberation of the heart and soul from slavery to the created, and from following paths other than the Messengers’ path.
2. Prayer (Salat): is worshipping Allaah by performing it in the right and perfect manner and on its prescribed times.
Some benefits: The openness of the chest, contentment and joy, and restrainement from committing sins and wrongdoings.
3. Zakaat: Devoting worship to Allaah by offering the obligatory prescribed amount of charity deducted from the wealth upon which Zakaat is due.
Some Benefits: Purifying the self from immoral characteristics like misery, and fulfilling the needs of Islaam and Muslims.
4. Fasting: Devoting worship to Allaah by refraining from everything known to nullify the fast during the days of the month of Ramadaan.
Some benefits: Fasting coaches the self to endure the relinquishment of what it likes seeking to gain the pleasure of Allaah.
5. Hajj (to the house of Allāh): Worshipping Allaah by going to the Sacred House (Al-Ka’bah) to execute the rites of Hajj.
Some benefits: The training of the self to expend physical and financial sacrifices in obedience to Allaah. This is the reason why Hajj is considered as one kind of Jihad in the cause of Allaah.
