Instructions

The Five Pillars

1. Shahada (Declaration of Faith)

   • “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad (ﷺ) is His messenger.”
   • The foundation of a Muslim’s identity.
   • Reference: Surah Al-Baqarah (2:255), known as Ayat ul-Kursi, affirms the oneness of Allah.

2. Salah (Prayer)

   • Five daily prayers: Fajr, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha.
   • Performed facing the Qiblah (Kaaba in Makkah).
   • Reference: Surah Al-Baqarah (2:43): “And establish prayer and give zakah and bow with those who bow.”

3. Zakat (Obligatory Charity)

   • Obligatory for Muslims who meet the nisab (minimum wealth threshold).
   • Reference: Surah Al-Baqarah (2:177).

4. Sawm (Fasting)

   • Fasting from dawn to sunset throughout the month of Ramadan.
   • Abstaining from food, drink, and sinful behavior.
   • Reference: Surah Al-Baqarah (2:183): “O you who believe, fasting has been prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you.”

5. Hajj (Pilgrimage)

   • Pilgrimage to Makkah once in a lifetime, for those who are able.
   • Performed in the month of Dhul Hijjah.
   • Reference: Surah Al-Imran (3:97).
