Five Pillars of Islam

Five Pillars of Islam

The central beliefs of Islam are that there is only one God, Allah, the prophets especially Muhammad. They believe God sees all and knows all, he is the creator, they believe in the Angels of God, the Qur’an, which is God’s book; his teaching and no other book expresses that, Day of Judgment, the afterlife, and the supremacy of God’s will.

The Five Pillars are reflection of the beliefs because the focus is about professing the unity of God and the messenger of Muhammad. The faithful are expected to tell others of Allah so they can make inform decisions in their lives. They have to practice the religion through the Five Pillars of Islam, doing so allows them continuous insight into what the religion is teaching. Each pillar.

The Five Pillars of Islam consists of daily prayers, fasting, belief and witness, Zakat or spiritual tithing and almsgiving, and hajj, which is the pilgrimage to Mecca. All of these are aimed toward having a closing walk or relationship with God.

Although adhering to the Five Pillar of Islam is an essential part of the Islamic faith, I find that prayer five times a day is not an easy task. You really have to be committed and faithful in your spiritual journey to practice this ritual. You would also have to know the Qur’an extremely well because you have to recite prayers and passages from the Qur’an in order to do the daily prayers. The other issue I would have is finding a place of solitude when praying. This is not an easy thing to maneuver especially when working in busy offices and especially when working in a health institution. The easiest would be the spiritual tithing
