Arkan ul Islam
The Pillars of Islam
Arkan Ul Islam are its basic foundations upon which is established ; they are five , mentioned in the narration by Ibn Umar in Which the prophet said:
( بنى الإسلام على خمسة : على أن يوحد الله ( وفى رواية أخرى على خمس): شهادة ألا إله إلا الله ، و أن محمدا عبده و رسوله ، و إقام الصلاة ، و إيتاء الزكاة ، و صيام رمضان ، و الحج . فقال رجل : الحج و صيام رمضان ، قال : لا صيام رمضان و الحج ، هكذا سمعته من رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم – متفق عليه – و اللفظ لمسلم.
“ Islaam is raised on five (pillars): To establish His Tawheed {and in other narration “The Shahaadah (testimony) that La illaha illa Allaah ( none has the right to be worshipped but Allaah ) and that Mohammed is Allah’s salve and Messenger}, establishment of prayers, payment of Zakaat, the fast of Ramadan , and pilgrimage to (to Makkah) . A person said ( to the narrator) ( which of the two precedes the other ) Pilgrimage or the fast of Ramadan? Upon this (the narrator) replied: No ( it is not the pilgrimage first) but the fast of Ramadan precede the pilgrimage , this is how I have heard it from Allaah’s Messenger”
FIRST: The Shahaadah of :
لا إله إلا الله ، و أن محمدا عبده و رسوله
La ilaaha illal laah,Mohammed Rassoulul laah Is the deceived belief expressed on the tongue as though one sees with his own eyes the certainty of his firm conviction. The fact that Shahaadah has been made as single pillar despite the multiplicity in what is being attested, because of either of the following (reasons):
The Messenger is a bearer ( of News) about Allaah تعالى . Attesting therefore , that he , the messenger is a true slave of Allah and bearer of the message ( of Islaam) is part of the meaning of Shahaadah ( La illaha illal laah) or That the two testimonies la illa illal laah , and Mohammed Rassoulal laah are ( the required) bases for the rightness of deeds and their acceptances , since both , the validity and acceptance of deeds , cannot be achieved without Al-Ikhlas to Allaah ( sincere devotion of intention to Allaah alone) and Mutaba’ah ( following) of Rasooulaul laah . It is through Al-Ikhlas that the Shahaadah of la illah illa llah is realized , while through Al-Moutaba’ah of Rasoolul laah , the Shahaadah that Mohammed is Allaah’s slave and Messenger is manifested. Some of the benefits attained by the declaration of the great Shahaadah include the liberation of the heart and soul from slavery to the created, and from following paths other than the Messenger’s path.
SECOND: Regarding the establishing of Prayers: it is worshipping Allah by performing it in the right and perfect manner19 and its prescribed times. Some of it’s benefits include the openness of the chest, contentment joys and detrainment from committing sins and wrong-doing.
THIRD: The Giving of Zakaat: is devoting worship to Allaah by offering the obligatory prescribed amount charity deducted from the wealth upon which Zakaat is due. Some of it’s benefits are : purifying the self from immoral characteristics like misery , and fulfilling the needs of Islaam and Muslims.
FOURTH: Fasting: It is devoting worship to Allaah by refraining from any everything known to nullify the fast during the days of the month of Ramadan.
Fasting coaches the self to endure the relinquishment of what it likes seeking to gain the pleasure of Allaah.
FIFTH : The Hajj to the House of Allaah: is worshipping Allaah by going to the sacred House (Al-Ka’abh) to execute the rites of Hajj.
Some of the benefits includes: the training of the self to expend the physical and financial sacrifices in obedience to Allaah تعالى . This is the reason why Hajj is considered as one kind of Jihad in the cause of Allaah تعالى.

The Eight Things that Nullify the Fast:

1. Sexual Intercourse: If it is done during the day in Ramadhaan, by someone who is obligated to fast then he has to make a great expiation along with making up that day. The expiation is to free a slave. If he can’t find one to free or is not capable, then he has to fast for two consecutive months. And if he not even capable of doing this, then he has to feed sixty poor people.
2. Ejaculation while one is awake through masturbation, hugging, kissing, fondling, etc.
3. Eating or drinking, whether the thing consumed is useful or harmful, like cigarettes.
4. Injection of nourishment that may substitute for food, because it constitutes as consuming food and drink. But the injections that do not provide nourishment do not break the fast whether they are injected into the muscles or the veins; and whether the injected person finds its taste in his throat or not.
5. Injection of blood (blood transfusion); for instance someone who loses blood and is injected with blood to replace the blood that was lost.
6. Menstruation and postnatal bleeding.
7. The extraction of blood by means of cupping (Hijaamah), and similar means.
However, if blood comes out, by itself, such as nasal bleeding or tooth extraction, and
likewise, then this does not break the fast; for this is neither cupping nor implied in its
meaning.
8. Deliberately vomiting. If it is unintentional, it does not break the fast.
Some Points of Benefit:
1/ It is permissible for the fasting person to intend to fast, while being in a state of
Janaabah (sexual impurity) and then he may purify himself by making ghusl after the break of dawn.
2/ If a woman, in Ramadhaan, becomes clean and free of her menses or post-natal
bleeding before the break of dawn, she must fast, even if she doesn’t take a ghusl
, until after dawn.
3/ It is permissible for the one who is observing the fast to have his wisdom tooth or
other teeth extracted, and to treat his wound, and to use nose or eye drops. And this
will not break his fast even if he senses the taste of the drops in his throat.
4/ It is permissible for him who is observing the fast to clean his teeth with a miswaak at the beginning of the day and at the end of it. This is a sunnah while fasting, just as it is while not fasting.
5/ It is also permissible for the fasting person to do that which lessens the severity of
heat and thirst, like cooling off by washing his body with water or using an air
conditioner.
6/ Also the fasting person can spray into his mouth what which alleviates for him the
shortness of breath caused by pressure or something else.
