Pillars Of Islam
This is one of the most basic teachings in Islam. The Five Pillars Of Islam.
1)Reciting The Kalimah. The kalimah is the turning point of religion. If recite the kalimah with the intention of reverting to Islam. I used the word 'revert' because in Islam, every child is born as a muslim. Clean from any sins. When the child grows up it will follow his or her parents religion. The kalimah translated into english is "I bear witness that there is no god except Allah and I bear Muhammad is His massenger.
2)Solat(pray) 5 times a day. The origins of the solat began when Prophet Muhammad S.A.W took a journey from the Holy city of Makkah to Masjid Al-Aqsa(Palestine). At first, Allah S.W.T oredered that humans have to pray 50 times a day. After, Nabi Muhammad S.A.W requested to decrease the amount, Allah S.W.T decreased it to 5 times a day. Every move that is done while praying has its own unique effect to the human body. All of the effect are positive. Subahanallah(All praises to Allah)
3)Fast In The Month Of Ramadhan. Ramadhan is one of the twelve month in Islam. It is the ninth month. Muslims who are capable of fasting are required to fast while who are incapable or sick does not have to fast according to the syariah of Islam. Muslims need to fast from sunrise till dusk. Before fasting it a sunnah to have suhoor. Suhoor is eating before fasting. The later the better. But not too late cause Islam doesn't mistreat its followers. Muslims have to break their fast at dusk.
4)Performing the hajj for those who are capable. Hajj is when you travel to the holy city of Makkah to perform some actions. The best type of hajj is a mabrur hajj that will change a persons life for the better. The only reward worthy of mabrur hajj is jannah(heaven)
5)Giving zakat. The simplest zakat is to give 1/4 of your monthly salary. Zakat is given at in the month of ramadhan.
That is the five pillars of Islam. Assalamualaikum warah matullah hi wabarakut. If you find something wrong, please inform me. Thank you
