Pillars of Islam
Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, relates that the Holy Prophet, peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him, said: "Islam is based on five articles: |
|
1. To bear witness that there is none worthy of worship save Allah and that
Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah. |
|
2. To observe Prayer (Salat). |
|
3. To Pay Zakat (Alms giving) |
|
4. To perform the Pilgrimage to the House of Allah (Hajj). |
|
5. To Observe fasting during Ramadhan." (Bukhari) |
|
Abdullah ibn Amr bin Aas, may Allah be pleased with them, relates that the Holy Prophet,
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: |
|
"A Muslim is one against whose tongue and hands other Muslims are secure, and
an Emigrant is one who departs from what Allah has forbidden." (Bukhari) |
