The five pillars of Islam

Pillars of Islam

Talking about the pillas of Islam, I think the pillars of Islam is not just a legal principle or basic obligation for a Muslim, but also a self evident as a Muslim who embraced Islam as a whole. The pillars of Islam contain about the five obligations that must be undertaken by a faithful and undeserving Muslim. The five pillars of Islam are:

1. Saying two sentences of syahadah.

2. Establishing Shalah (Prayer).

3. Fasting in Ramadan.

4. Paying Zakat

5. Hajj pilgrims to Mecca if able to do.

The fifth pillar is a thing that should not be to leave or just ignored it, if we claim that we are Muslims, then it is fitting for these five pillars of Islam should always be on our guard and we also keep in our daily life as a mu'kmin who embraced Islam as a whole.

Do not ever consider ourselves as a Muslim if all the obligations as a Muslim we forget it, if all the commandments of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala we ignore just like that. And all the commandments and also the teachings from Rasullulah shallalahu 'alaihi wa salam we forget it.

For leaving one of the five pillars such as prayer for example, or fasting, if we deliberately abandon it is already a sinful act, and anyone who dares to commit immorality means he is not convinced that Allah is all-seeing, and he also does not care about the Punishment which will be accepted as a consequence.

Doing the pillars of Islam is also proof that we believe that we are a weak creature, and also a proof of our love of our religion islam, to the Prophet, and also to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, because there is no more love beautiful than the love of beings to his god.
