Muslim Academy on 27 Aug 12Islam is a religion that teaches peace, love, harmony and equality. It is a complete code of life that provides with rules and regulations necessary for success in the life in this world and the life after death. In order to be a Muslim it is necessary to have the specified faith that is to believe in only one God and that Holy Prophet is His last messenger. Therefore Islam has been laid upon the world as a full and final religion of God. In order to learn Islam, one must fully know about the five basic pillars of Islam upon which the structure of faith relies. These five pillars supporting the Islam are as below: The recitation of "Kalima" as confession of faith is very important. The words for this confession are translated as "There is no God but Allah and Mohammad (PBUH) is the messenger of Allah". By saying these words a person converts into a Muslim and accepts the facts lying hereby in this statement. Every Muslim has to offer prayers five times a day. This is an obligation to be performed by every Muslim at prescribed timings and in the prescribed manner. Islam greatly emphasizes on equality and in order to remove the differences between the rich and the poor, and to avoid the presence of wealth in limited hands only, it is obligatory in Islam to pay 2.5% of the income as Zakat to those who are really poor and needy. To realize the hardships experienced by a poor person, and to allow man to notice the blessings and gifts of Allah, every Muslim has a duty to keep Fasts in the month of Ramadan. Each Muslim must at least once in his or her life offer his presence in the city of Mecca before Ka'bah to perform Hajj.
