5 Pillars of IslamEssay Preview: 5 Pillars of IslamReport this essayThe worship of Allah is principal in a Muslims mind at all time. There are also five formal acts of worship which help strengthen a the faith and obedience of a Muslim. They are frequently called the “Five Pillars of Islam”. The Five Pillars of Islam are the framework and guidelines of the Muslim life. They are the testimony of faith, prayer, supporting the needy, fasting during the month of Ramadan, and the once in a lifetime trip to Makkah for those who are able to do so. These Five Pillars are the thing Muslims do to please God and to keep themselves well and happy in this lifetime and for the future ones to come. It was Prophet Muhammad, the founder of Islam, who was reported to have said, “Islam is based upon five pillars”.
One of the five pillars is Shahadataan or Kalima. This is the declaration or testimony of faith. The declaration itself is very simple and it goes as follows: “I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.” Islam is based on faith and the Unity of God. When one agrees with this statement, they are testifying upon the Unity of Allah and the message of Prophethood. When one witnesses the statement that Muhammad is His messenger, one is verifying that all the prophets before him were also His messengers showing that Allah is one and His message is one. When one declares this statement with their purity of heat and conviction of faith, they are then Muslim.
The second of the five pillars is Salat. This is the name for the mandatory prayers which are to be performed five times a day. The prayer is a direct link between the worshipper and God. The is no authority like a priest, so the prayers are said by a person who is well familiarized with the Quran, which is chosen by the worshippers. The prayers contain versus from the Quran but the personal supplication may be said in ones own language. These prayers are said at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset, and nightfall. Even though it is always preferable to worship together in a mosque, a Muslim house of worship, a Muslim can pray anywhere he pleases. The Call to Prayer is a prayer which Muslims recite and the translation entails these phrases: God is most great, I testify that there is no god except God. I testify that Muhammad is the messenger of God. Come to prayer! Come to success. God is most great. There is no god
The Prayer of the Messenger of Allah
The first of the five pillars is the prayer of the messenger. This is the obligatory prayer of all Muslims. Some are obliged to the worship of God, however most of them do not believe what is being said. There is a difference in the way in which each of these prayers should be done. The reason for this is that people often think about the worship being more solemn than the one before a prayer. A person who does not believe in the Lord does not take a sign from someone he meets, so the prayer is made by someone who does not know him either.
The other reason for the prayer of the messenger in the prayers of the mosque is the belief that there be only one God. This is because this is because they believe that this God is the god of the whole earth. It is because the prophet Muhammad does not believe in God, and he makes the prayer of Allah, not by any of the people with whom he meet, but through two people: a king of Egypt and a prophet of the nations. This is the worship which a Muslim has given up to God in order that his God can bestow it upon his people.
The Prophet’s Prayer as I have reported to you is narrated to the people of Yemen who worshiped with each other and were brought up in this world by the prophets. The Prophet’s Prayer is followed and by no means the only prayer given. It must be remembered that by using this in prayer, the believer in this world is trying to imitate the prophet; at best he will feel disappointed with Allah and he will refuse to worship.
The third pillar is the prayer of the Messenger. This is the prayer of the Prophet in his lifetime (and so for everyone of them) which is the most important in prayers. He is the personification of the prayer. It is the belief which is given the most. It refers to God, not to the person and not to the body or the soul. The prayer is not written or made by the messenger, which makes it the same as how the Prophet taught it. It is his belief that the prophet was there, and it was a matter of belief that the Prophet was there, not merely that he was present.
The Muslim prayers are always based on Allah. This is what distinguishes them from the general religion. It is similar to the way in which many religions treat one another: It is the belief or belief of the person who believes or what he desires in the religion.
Allah is our Lord and we declare him to be its God. He is our God. He is the messenger of the Most High, and we pronounce him our God.
Muslim is the Muslim, the best of Islam, and therefore it must follow the same rules as in other religions. Those who are followers of non-Muslim faiths do not worship the Prophet, even though there is a difference between his religion and some non-Muslim religions.
There is no doubt that the Quran does not say anything about the prayer of Muslim, but that if such a person were not the prophet, then all Muslims would be under the sway of a prophet. Islam is in fact based on the Quran, and all Muslims worship Allah.
In Islam, no other religion (except the one that gives itself to man-made religions) has a name for the worshipper besides the Prophet. This is because this is the only one of the Five Pillars that does not include the names and prayers of the people of Muslim.
