The Five Pillars Of Islam

There are five obligatory acts of worship that every Muslim must dutifully carry out. Failure to do so is a grave sin. The edifice of Islam rests upon these five pillars. One cannot be considered a Muslim if he or she denies that any one of these acts is obligatory.

The five obligations of Muslims are as follows:

The declaration of faith, to “Testify that there is no deity except God, and that Muhammad is His Messenger” (Shahadah)
To pray five times a day (Salah)
To pay the yearly alms (Zakah)
To fast during the month of Ramadan (Sawm)
To make the pilgrimage to Makkah (Hajj)

Masjidul Muslimiin Disclaimer

Masjid al-Muslimiin would like to make clear that we are, by the permission of Allaah, pretty much a self subsisting Community. We have people here who pay their zakaah and they help to handle the needs of those less fortunate. We have been known to help people with as little as $1.00 to as much as $3,000.00, and more, with a valid and legitimate need. Walhamdulillaah.
Please note that if anyone comes to you (Muslim male or female) asking for assistance in the name of being a member or part of Masjidul Muslimiin, or, as is often used, they say they are a part of Shaykh Adly's Community, we caution you against accepting this and we claim no responsibility for what might come from accepting what they say. Please feel free to refer them to us or contact us yourself to confirm their claims.
