THE FIVE PILLARS OF ISLAM

The chahada is to testify that there is no God except Allah and that Mohamed is His Messenger.

"La ilaha illa Allah wa Mohamadane rassoulou Lahi"

This is the most important pillar in Islam that rejects all types of polytheism adoration. Polytheism adoration is not only to adore statues but to live for a passion like money, glory... Allah is The Greatest, The Highest, The Creator... He is the owner of all things in our universe. Our body, our parents, our children, all our possessions are the property of Allah. That is why when someone dies, Allah retakes His property. It is the reason why Allah prohibits us to destroy the Earth by economic war, pollution... and especially to kill or to hurt someone without reason, and so on. The word "Allah" is the global name of God but He has different names and attributes like The Creator, The Greatest, The Higher, The Forgiver, the Kindness...

Mohamed (peace be upon him) is the last Messenger of Allah. He was chosen to present Unicity of Allah, to change the people comportment and to bring the last holy book "The Qor'an". His mission is for all human beings.

The Salat or the prayer : All the Muslims have to accomplish five prayers a day. It is a way to be directly in contact with God and to resource soul, heart..... It is not simply a series of gesture but it includes different types of adoration.

The Zakat is like a "tax" on our possessions (money, gold, cattle, harvest...). This tax is directly paid to poor people and permits to build schools, hospitals, public structures... It is a way for the muslim, who can pay it, to be purified and to share a small part of his possessions.

The siam or the fast. During the islamic month of Ramadan, all the muslims have to fast during 29 or 30 days. This pillar is a way for the muslim to be detached from the physical world and to purify his soul, his heart and his body. During this holy month, the muslims have to increase their good actions and to remind of their conditions. The fast is not an obligation for the sick persons, the travellers and anybody who fears for his health.

The Hadj or pilgrimage : once in the life of someone who has money and health, the pilgrimage is a travel to saudi Arabia. The Muslim meets all the muslims of the world, different nations are represented. The Muslim discovers the location where lived  Prophet Mohamed (peace be upon him) and his companions and the holies locations like kaaba, Arafat Mount, Medina town... The Prophet says that any person who makes the pilgrimage with sincerity is like a newborn baby. This pillar is a complete purification of the Muslim.

THE SIX PILLARS OF FAITH

The belief in God is the first and logical one. It is not only to believe but especially to know God and how to make a real adoration. So the muslim has to learn his religion by reading books, listening to islamic supports.... Muslims practice with a real conviction in science, certainty, acceptation and submission of the divine law, fidelity, sincerety and love. Without science it is impossible to practice a real adoration.

The belief in Angels: All the Muslims have to accept that God created Angels of light. There are differents types of Angels like messengers (Gabrial), the Death Angel, Mercies Angels...

The belief in holy books God chose Prophets and Messengers and gave us a Message. The Muslim believes in the David Psaums, Torah of Moise, Evangel of Jesus and Qor'an of Mohamed (peace be upon them).

The belief in Prophets Muslims have to believe that God chose different persons to bring the divine message and among them, Abraham, David, Solomon, Joseph, Moise, Jesus and Mohamed the Last Messenger. (Peace be upon them). A prophetic sentence says that God sent more than 313 prophets.

The belief in the Judgement day This day will come and everybody after his death will be revived and judged by God about four moments in his life : his life in general, his youth, his possessions and his science. So everybody has to prepare his life for these four questions to avoid Hell for the Paradise. They have to live in an obedient law of God,

The belief in the destiny God knows all things before their creation. Destiny is a part of the Science of God...
