The Deen of Islam and it's pillars.

 The Deen of Islam and it's pillars.

Alhamdulillah, one of the things every Muslim should know is on the Deen.

It is obligatory to know our Deen and religion as the messenger of Allah peace be upon him,

Seeking of knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim.

Tirmidhee.

If a Muslim does not seek the knowledge of his Deen will either die in ignorance or misguidance and innovation.

Once imam Ahmad ibn Hanbali rahimullah was asked why don't you stop travelling to seek knowledge as you have done much.

He replied, I will never give up seeking for knowledge until death comes to me.

Islam means submission..

It means to soley submit our lives only for Allah and obeying and avoiding his commands and prohibitions.

And Islam is built upon five pillars.

First is the declaration of faith.

Altering Ash hadu Al laa ilaha illa Allah, wa Ash hadu Anna Muhammadan abduhuu warasuuluhu.

The second is establishing the prayers.

Third is giving zakah

Fourth is fasting in the month of Ramadan

Fifth is to perform the pilgrimage to Hajj once in a person's life time.

And Islam is based upon six articles of faith.

The first is belief in Allah,his Angels, his sacred books, his messengers, the day of qiyaamah and belief in Qadr whether good or evil is from Allah.

And one pillar of perfection of faith which is called ihsan,

This is to worship Allah as if one sees him and if one does not sees him, then he sees us.

These are what Islam is about.

May Allah grants us knowledge and make us steadfast upon the haqq(truth)

Aamin
