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.
