Pillars of Islam
On the authority of Ibn Omar, may God be pleased with them both, he said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said (Islam is built on five, testimony that there is no god but God, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of God, establishing prayer, paying zakat, fasting Ramadan and pilgrimage to the House) agreed.
Just as every building has a foundation that cannot be established without it, Islam has pillars that cannot be established without it, and just as every building has a gate to enter it, the gateway to entering the religion of Islam is the pronunciation of the two testimonies, and it is the first pillar of Islam, and this building is my beloved, we will build it in our hearts and apply it with our souls. If the foundation of this building is not correct, this building will not be. The basis of Islam is the two testimonies.
Let's get to know her:
(Testimony that there is no god but Allah)
There is no god but God, it is the best speech after the Qur’an, it is the most beloved speech to God, it is the word of sincerity, it is the basis of religion, it is the pillar of faith in God, it is the key to Paradise and the reason for the salvation of people on the Day of Resurrection, it is the first thing that the Messengers called upon them, peace and blessings be upon them, and the first thing he called The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said to his people: “Say, there is no god but God, and you will be successful.”
It is a denial and affirmation, (there is no god) a negation, denying all deities and all gods unjustly, negating everything that is worshiped besides God of idols and equals.
(Except God) is proof. Worship is proven by the right of God alone, Glory be to Him, and its meaning is that there is no true deity except God, and it is the basis of worship.
Let me give you an example: When you want your mother or your friend to feel that you love him and care for him, do you express with your tongue only your love and concern for him, or do your heart feel that and your soul also expresses it through that you rejoice at his joy and grieve for his sadness and always help him?
Also, when we witness that there is no god but God, that is, there is no deity but God, that there is no creator but God, that there is no sustenance but God, there is no healer but God, there is no giver but God, it is an expression by the tongue and the heart feels, that our prayers, our fasting and our zakat Our charity is all for God alone, and the limbs give charity by doing what God has commanded us to do and leaving what God has forbidden us from.
(And that Muhammad is the Messenger of God)
Its meaning is that Muhammad is a messenger sent by God to all creation, from the jinn and mankind, to teach us our religion and guide us to the right path, which is the path of Paradise, and to introduce us to our Creator.
A messenger, meaning by a message, and it is the message of Islam, and he is the seal of the prophets and messengers, there is no prophet after him. The Almighty said (Muhammad was not the father of any of your men, but the Messenger of God and the seal of the prophets) Surah Al-Ahzab verse 40
We must obey him in what he commands, believe him in what he tells, and avoid what he forbids and rebukes
The Almighty said: (Say: Obey God and obey the Messenger) (An-Nur 54).
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, he said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “What I forbid you to avoid, and what I command you to do, do as much of it as you can.” (Agreed upon)
How is this obedience?
By learning his biography and learning the hadiths that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, told, and teach them to our children, we follow the commands that they contain, avoid the prohibitions they contain, follow him, apply his Sunnah, and be polite with his etiquette.
And know that the testimony that there is no god but God is not completed or accepted except with the testimony that Muhammad is the Messenger of God.
