This short story namely the 1st in a seven part sequence phoned Islam 101. As the appoint indicates, this series of articles namely averaged to, Insha Allah, give a terse, succinct overview of some of the basic faiths of Islam.
So what exactly is Islam? The name itself comes from the root word “salam” which means “peace” in Arabic. “Islam” actually manner “submission”,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which is understood for submission of the human being’s ambition to the will of God. So, a complete definition for the word Islam would be “submission to God in order to get peace.” And a Muslim, coming from namely same basis word s-l-m,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is a human who submits himself to God in order to obtain peace.
How do we submit ourselves to God? The answer is that it is not easy, it is exceedingly complicated. To submit yourself to God means putting your own normal human desires on the behind shelf when they conflict with God’s desires. It means caring more about the next life than this one. It means lusting the intangible agreeable of the future more than the matter things of this world. It means winning our internal proud,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], adoring the things that God loves and hating the things that He hates. It’s a tall order for a mere human.
Islam is extra than fair a religion that 1 ought think about once a week; Islam is an whole direction of life. Islam gives guidance for every appearance of a person’s life, including what edible to dine, what raiment to dress, and how to perform as a mother, father, sibling,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sister and member of society in common. It’s always inclusive, alternatively at fewest it ought be. If all human peerless submitted their wills to God’s we would have a close utopian society.
Human beings need structure in their lives, which is observable in day to day activities. There are 5 pillars of Islam which provide that crucial structure to a person’s life. These 5 pillars are the basis of an individual’s religion, without them there can be no Islam, but they are merely the bare minimum requirements.
The first is the shahada, or the declaration of faith. It is when a person says and believes that there is not deity worth of whichever type of worship except for God, and that Muhammad is His messenger. The second is the prayer which should be performed a minimum of 5 times each day. The third is zakat which can be thought of as a tariff to feed the meager and purify your money. The fourth is fasting for the entire month of Ramadan from sunrise to sunset each day. Last but no least, the fifth is the hajj which is the pilgrimage to Mecca. The hajj should be performed at least once in a person’s life if they are able.
There is so many more that can be said on this heading, yet we will leave it here until next time. Thank you for reading and God congratulate!
