Five Pillars of Islam

As soon as the Islamic armies of the Arab countries conquered new lands, they began to erect mosques and palaces and to commission other works of art to express their beliefs and culture. Many aspects of Islamic religious practices have emerged and been coded. The practice of the Islamic religion, which means “obedience to God”, is based on the principles of the “five-columned lesson”, to which all members of the Ummah Islamic community must adhere.

 

  1. I believe in the profession – Şahada

I believe that the profession is the shahada, the most complete expression of Islam. He simply says, “There is only God, Muhammad is his prophet.” This underlines the monotheistic nature of Islam. It is a very popular phrase in an Arabic manuscript with many manuscripts and places of worship.

 

  1. Daily prayers – salah

Muslims should pray five times a day. This does not mean that they have to go to the mosque to pray; instead, a daily salad or prayer should be repeated five times a day. Muslims can pray everywhere; However, they seek to pray in Mecca. Faithful praise rises and kneels and folds several times, then touches the ground or the prayer rug on his forehead as a symbol of respect and submission to God. Many Muslims will visit the lunch mosque on Friday to pray and listen to Khutba’s sermon.

 

  1. Charitable distribution – Zakat

Charity is the third column. Although Muslims are not defined in the Qur’an, they believe that they should share their wealth with those who are lucky in the community of believers.

 

  1. Fasting during Ramadan – Saum

During Ramadan, which is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, Muslims are expected to fast from dusk to dusk. While there are exceptions for patients, the elderly, and pregnant women, they should all hide food and drink in daylight.

 

  1. Hajj 

All talented Muslims are obliged to request a pilgrimage to Mecca and the surrounding holy places at least once in their lives. Hajj focuses on visiting Kabab and walking seven times.The Hajj takes place in the twelfth month of the Islamic calendar.
