Life has started to get in the way of everything but i took february vacation to myself and unexpectedly found out many thing about my islamic friends, each day this week im going to focus on one of the things having to do with the 5 pillars of islam. today im going to do the five pillars. the five pillars are the five basic duties of every muslim.
They are:
Faith or belief in the Oneness of God and the finality of the prophethood of Muhammad;
Establishment of the daily prayers;
Concern for and almsgiving to the needy;
Self-purification through fasting; and
The pilgrimage to Makkah for those who are able.
or otherwise put:
beleif in one god and the prophet muhammed (Iman)
prayer 5 times daily (Salah)
helping others financially (Zakah)
Fasting to teach self control (Sawm)
travel to makkah at least once in your lifetime (Hajj)
these five things are basically a muslims life rolled up into one list. if you follow these "pillars" of being a good muslim then you will be closer to god and a much better person.
