Islam and its pillars

Islam as a religion is very strong, its codes and conduct are purely for goodness of human beings who ever believes in it and follows its implications. Islam is a path, a way to spend life, or do things accordingly. On every step of life, Islam has provided remedies for all kind of problems.

Islam has five basic pillars, which are mendatory for a muslim to fulfil anyhow, on these pillars a muslims journey from birth till the end of times is dependant, on scale of good to bad we are calculated on the basis of how good or bad we perform all these activities represented as pillars of Islam.
These five pillars of Islam are:

Tauheed: Believe in oneness of God, and that nobody is equal or above Him in any manner.

Namaz: Offering five times prayers daily.

Zakat: Pay a predetermined portion of income to the needy on yearly basis.

Roza: Fasting in the holy month of Ramadhan to purify our souls.

Hajj: Go to Makkah Mukarma On pilgrimage atleast once in a life time.

Tauheed: Oneness of Allah(God)

Allah is the one and only creator of all the beings living or nonliving, dead or alive, Only Allah has all the powers, nobody is equavalent or better than Allah in any manner, He has neither any kids nor a father, He is the Almighty of all, this is a muslims firm believe, on this believe, our whole life and after death life is based. we firmly believe that Allah has created us and He is the only one who can destroy us. This life of ours is His blessing to us.

Namaz: Five times prayers mendatory:

Praying Five times in a day is mendatory for a muslim, people who doesn't fulfil this requirement are partful in sins and making a path to hell(dozakh). Namaz is Farz for a muslim, in all conditions, if in case someone doesn't feels well, pray while sitting, facing Holy ka'aba, if in case someone can't pray while sitting, lie down and pray, but namaz is mendatory anyhow in any condition, if you have no water available of wadhu or purification, perform tayamum and than pray. Namaz is one activity which asked first when we are dead and have arrived in the grave. Namaz is a direct link to Allah, like a formal chat, asking for forgiveness and other blessings a person wish for.

Zakat: Almsgiving to the needy:

Zakat is farz on every muslims, every year 2.5% of the income is paid to the people who are needy and we are concerned for them. Zakat is one way of fulfiling the gap of status between people who are rich and poeple who are poor. Zakat is very important for Poor. Islam is a package and a path to a happy start, a happy journey and a happy ending also.

Roza: Fasting in the month of ramadhan:

Roza Means fasting, staying without food or water all day long from Fajr till Maghrib. In the holy month of ramadhan, fasting all over the world, muslims purify their body and soul, to feel the pain and abundance of the needy, to change our way of living to a better life style. Allah has made us a superb diet plan infact, Fasting in it self is a very divine activity, muslims all over the world fast on same times like brothers and sisters, Allah has after all made same rules of a person as rich as anyone could be and as poor as anyone maybe. Well when Allah doesn't divide us on basis of money, why should we do so.

Hajj: Pilgrimage to Makkah mukarma:

Hajj, going to makkah for offering hajj, very divine act. Once in a life time, its must for a muslim to goto makkah for performing Hajj. Hajj is performed in the month of Zul-Hajj. On 10th zul-hajj.


Islam has provided us a package, in which all deals of life are best offers ever, what we just have to pay is to avail those deals, Allah has given us an opportunity of life time.

Shab e Mairaaj

Tonight is the night of Mairaaj, when our holy prophet P.B.U.H visited all the skies and saw all the scenes of this universe, Heaven and hell, which is dozakh and jannah, dozakh for the one's who deny to bow in front of Allah and don't believe in his sovereignty and oneness, while jannah for those who remember Allah in all their health and sickness, happiness and sorrows, who believe that Allah is the one and only creator of the all the creatures and that nobody else has the power to do so. 

Mairaj is a very special night for all the muslims all over the world, once upon a time a woman came to our beloved holy prophet and asked that her life was too short to praise and bow in front of Allah, and that the people who will come in the world later, Our prophet told the woman that people in later times will live 60-70 years, and she had tears in her eyes that they won't have much time to earn as much sawab as they want to, Allah heard her prayer and so He blessed us with these big nights so we would pray and earn all the Sawab of 10000 years in just one night, which is wonderful.

Shab e Mairaj has many novel stories, Nabi pak in his journey met many angels and saw all the skies which were beautiful, In this very big night all the muslims pray for their end day, for Magfirat in qayammah...

My grandmother made biryani and sweets today and distributed in all the neighbourhood in the name of Allah, people give sacrifices of animals and food which is a very good dead, My mother also made many dishes for family, friends and neighbours, this is like a mini eid for all the muslims around the world, people pray all day and night, different prayers are said in this particular night, like Salat hajaat, and others.

Allah listens to all our prayers in this holy night, this is the night of forgiveness, muslim ummah, ask for your forgiveness before its too late, may be we won't see anyother shab e mairaaj in this life time of ours.
